If we’ve learned one thing from Is it Cake? Season 1, it’s that a bucket hat, a conch shell, or even a shoe can be a cake. Even though the things the expert bakers on the show make aren’t real, the battle couldn’t be more real.
On June 30, Season 2 of the crazy baking battle started, and it is going to make you question your world like never before. This time, a new group of hyperrealistic bakers has been asked to make the most unlikely things out of cake, like baseball gloves, weekender bags, toilets, and even the Mona Lisa, in hopes of fooling a group of experienced chefs and celebrity guests.
Check out the Is it Cake, Too? on Netflix. As well as the 10 cooks who want to win some of the $120,000 prize money and shock you to your (possibly cake-filled) core.
Corterrius Allen
Corterrius, who is a student in college and also goes by the name DaCakeGoat of Mississippi, started his cake business in his dorm room. He is also used to scary competitions because he took part in Halloween Wars on the Food Network.
Danya Smith
When you look at Danya’s novelty cake shop, it’s clear that the Richmond, Virginia, native has a thing for the ’90s. Her social media is filled with Bop It! toys, Hey Arnold toys, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch DVDs made of cake. But Danya, who went to school for sculpture, isn’t a gatekeeper. She also posts video lessons on how to make many of her hyperrealistic creations so that aspiring bakers can make them themselves.
Elizabeth Rowe
Elizabeth is from England, but she now lives in Texas. She has made everything from scary clown cakes to Chick-Fil-A cakes. She runs a high-end store called The London Baker, but her favorite kind of sweets to make are creepy and scary ones.
Jarid Altmark
Jarid’s grandma taught him to love baking, and he’s been making cakes since he was 12 years old. The South Florida native joined his first contest when he was 14 years old. Since then, he has won a number of awards and competed in a number of Food Network contests. In 2014, Jarid started Jarid’s Awesome Cakes. He teaches classes and judges professional sugar art contests all over the country.
Justin Salinas
Justin has been making cakes and making material for more than 15 years. He is from Bakersfield, California. His love of baking came from a hard time in his life. When he was 15, he was told he had kidney failure, and watching cake movies helped him feel better. He gives lessons on how to decorate cookies and cakes, and his website, Cake It with Justin, has recipes and other things.
Kayla Giddings
Kayla is from Lafayette, Louisiana. For seven years, she taught high school, but she recently quit to follow her dream of baking full-time. She has been baking and making cakes since she was 19. She has only been making “hyperrealistic” cakes for about a year.
Her favorite decorations are savory foods like hamburgers and pretzels. Since then, she has competed in five Food Network contests and won four of them. She has also judged cake contests and taught cake classes all over the country.
Liz Marek
Liz is from Beaverton, Oregon, and is known in the food world as the founder of the online cake-making school Sugar Geek Show. The cook who won an award also wrote a book about how to decorate cakes to look like real life. In the clip, she says, “If I can’t win this show, then what am I even doing with my life?” There’s a lot of stress.
Miko Kaw Hok Uy
From New York, Miko gets a lot of his ideas from his Filipino heritage and his love of fine art (he has been an artist for 30 years). He makes delicate roses, statues, and paintings with a lot of detail.
Pete Tidwell
Pete started baking when he worked at his brother’s store, which served chocolate mousse cake. From there, his interest grew. Pete has won Cake Wars twice on the Food Network, and he is known for the cakes he has made for businesses in Utah. He has made cakes that look like everything from monster trucks to grills and chairs. He also runs the Make More Dough Podcast, which he calls “The Mighty Baker.”
Spirit Wallace
Spirit has been called a “celebrity baker” because she has made cakes for people like Diddy and DJ Khaled. However, she insists that she puts the same amount of work into each of her creations, stressing that everyone deserves to feel special. As someone who grew up in foster care, she gets ideas from her own children, whom she loves very much.
