Netflix’s upcoming baking show, Is It Cake? is premiering within two weeks and will leave you baffled when you see mind-boggling cakes prepared by nine skilled chefs. It will be tough to segregate between real and cake-made objects.
Monday’s trailer of the Is It Cake? seemed quite intriguing as it depicts cakes that just do not look like one. Moreover, the judges and the audience in the show will have to make their best guess to find out which cake is not an object.
Among the nine chefs, three will make it to the finale and will ultimately compete to win a handsome cash prize of $50,000.
