Is It Cake?

Matt Roush says...

Even when they don’t look like cake, these illusory creations look good enough to eat. Or are they? That’s the fun of this comedic baking competition, hosted by Saturday Night Live‘s puckish Mikey Day in a variety of seasonal costumes. He welcomes back six Is It Cake? all-stars to manufacture hyper-realistic objects that look like anything but cake (think life-size Santas and Nutcrackers that spin). Jaws drop during the reveals, when Day takes a cake knife to reveal what’s behind the frosting. “Look at the cheeks on the gingerbread,” quips one of the celebrity judges, who are easily and merrily fooled. Over three episodes, the bakers compete for a $75,000 prize pot and a spot in the finale. Among the guest judges: St. Denis Medical‘s Wendi McLendon-Covey, Nobody Wants This star Kristen Bell, Hallmark regular Lacey Chabert, Shrinking‘s Michael Urie, New Girl‘s Lamorne Morris, and Kel Mitchell.
