18 ENTERTAINMENT EXTRA Royal Center Locker Plant 1 x 9" By Caroline Collacutt TV Media D esigned to trick even the most trained eye, illusion cakes have become an inter- net sensation, with shows like "Is It Cake?" reaching massive audiences of dedi- cated viewers, and popular TikTokers and YouTubers like Jonny Cakes (Jonny Manganello, who competed in Season 1 of "Is It Cake?") creating hyperrealistic baked goods for thousands upon thousands of followers and subscribers online. These real- ity-bending cakes delight and confuse, and for fans looking to bite into more – of what's hopefully cake – Season 2 of the cake decorating series, aptly named "Is it Cake, Too?" is now available to stream on Netflix. The series features eight new episodes, all hosted by "Saturday Night Live's" Mikey Day, as he returns to the (very real) kitchen for his second season driving this – as Netflix calls it – "baking com- petition that makes you ques- tion the very fabric of reality." "Prepare for toilets, yoga mats, guitars, rollerblades and even a replica of the Mona Lisa to get sliced and diced in the process," Netflix wrote in a recent news release, "as each week the cake artists put their incredi- bly niche skills to the test." The competition begins with 10 hopeful bakers, each faced with their first chal- lenge before the eggs, butter and milk ever come out. First, the contestants – all of whom specialize in hyperreal- istic baking themselves – must identify the illusion cake hidden among a group of random, everyday objects – like, for instance, within a full-scale replica of Michael Day's college dorm room. Only the bakers able to guess correctly will move on to the main competition. From there, the remaining few must utilize their strange- ly specific skills to create their own illusion cakes within an eight-hour period. The cakes will then be presented to a panel of celebrity guest judg- es, who will have 20 seconds to determine which, in a line of near-identical objects, is actually cake. Those who fail to trick the judges will be eliminated from the game, and in the end, only one trickster-baker will be left, crowned champion of "Is it Cake, Too?"
