For a while, everything you saw was being made into a cake. This ? Cake. That [url=]cute-looking puppy dog? Sugary sponge. In some cases, seeing a knife dig into a hyper-realistic looking dessert turned out to be more stressful than thrilling. Now, Netflix has scaled the simple concept of authentic-looking cakes into an eight-episode competition series. Is It Cake? asks contestants to bake their own realistic cakes and try to elude judges with them. I only watched the 37-minute first episode (no, I'm not watching more), but I've seen enough to feel confident it's not one of the streaming service's better realityentries. Yet, as of Thursday, Is It Cake? is still hanging out in the .
Soon, it's time for the round that determines who wins the money. Guest judges including comedian Fortune Feimster are tasked with spotting the disguised cake amid non-cakes. Earlier in the episode, one contestant, Sam, notes that even a realistic cake should taste good. I nodded along, because heck yeah it should. Unlike any baking show I've ever seen, the taste of the creation on Is It Cake? matters absolutely zero percent. The hosts taste the cakes after they eliminate each player … just for fun.
What's the point of baking a cake? It could literally look and taste like a remote control, and someone could still hypothetically win. It's essentially a real remote at that point.
Finally, the most head-scratching part of Is It Cake? arrives to cap off the show. For important context, earlier in the episode, a contestant (Jonny) describes a plan to plant faux tomatoes on one of the real tacos to throw off the judges. Flash forward to the cake-guessing game for all the marbles. The judges don't choose Jonny's taco -- in fact, they select a real taco that looks like it has fake tomatoes on it. I can't confirm for sure that taco was the target of Jonny's deception, because the show doesn't bring it up. Nope, not at all.
To be clear, there are no rules against what Jonny did as far as I can tell. But in a competition that already doesn't make much sense, it's another frustrating blow. It could have been worked into a teaching moment or laughed off by the judges. Instead, nothing happens, and we're left wondering if we missed something.
When I flipped on this reality show, I was hoping to slice into a satisfying escape. In reality, I found myself more bothered by mind-boggling choices and burning questions. I'm all for recommending reality shows, but ultimately, this is one could-be-confection you don't want to bite into.
