Netflix has released some pretty strange shows over the years, some of which have gone on to become massive hits. Remember that one about an eccentric animal abuser in Oklahoma trying to build his own roadside zoo empire? Netflix is no stranger to weird content, and its latest reality competition is one of the oddest titles yet. The series is called Is It Cake?, and it follows the Internet craze of people tricking others into believing cakes are actually other objects.
Hosted by Saturday Night Live star Mikey Day, Is It Cake? pits cake artists against one another to try and bake delicious creations that look exactly like purses, shoes, and other objects that you wouldn’t actually want to eat. The series debuted on Netflix this past weekend and has become incredibly popular.
