The only reason you’re not watching IS IT CAKE?! is because you think it’s easy to tell if it’s cake

And it isn’t. Not even a little.

Is it cake?

Is It Cake? premiered on Netflix on March 18, 2022. It’s already in their daily Top Ten. But with frosting like this, who could resist?

Is It Cake? debuts at #1

Look, there was a brief brouhaha over whether it was fair for -REDACTED- to add a mountain of -REDACTED- to fool the judges. But aside from that, IS IT CAKE? is a show smart enough to offer obscure jokes from late 90s movies by Mike Myers while simultaneously keeping you baked to the screen.

Austin Powers memes never die

Because in-between tons of jokes from SNL alumn Mikey Day, the show reminds everyone that a great cake isn’t just delicious. It’s beautiful.

SO WHY WOULD SOMEONE NOT WATCH THIS WONDERFUL SHOW?

The only reason people aren’t already watching it? Because they think it’s that easy.
