How did you go about finding contestants? Did you search via social media?īaking has become a huge thing on social media, so that was an easy place to start. Having also had the experience of creating Nailed It!, which came about through very similar inspiration, we knew that something like a grabby social media phenomenon, if you can build the format in the right way, can translate really, really well. All of that together feels like a good basis for competition. It’s very visual and it requires a great deal of accuracy - a stressful amount of accuracy.

We’ve done a lot of cooking and baking shows over the years, and this hit a lot of what tends to work about those kinds of shows, particularly baking. What was it about those Is It Cake? memes that really grabbed you and made you think they could be translated into a show? So, it came together incredibly quickly and unusually so. On the very first call, Jenn Levy just loved it, and next thing you know, we’re doing the show. Like everyone else, we were seeing those social media posts and were entertained by them. Was it really inspired by the Is It Cake? memes that blew up in July 2020? Tell us about how the concept of the show came about. Here, Cutforth shares the inspiration behind the show’s concept, how the iconic cake wall works and even where that gold kitchen utensil throne is now.

Between salivating over all the realistic creations, standing with your face one inch away from your TV set and tearing up over the wholesomeness of the contestants’ bonds, you may find yourself asking a lot of questions while watching the new series - questions beyond just “Is that really cake?” We enlisted one of the show’s executive producers, Dan Cutforth, to help stave off your hunger for answers. As a baking competition show with a title that is a question itself, Is It Cake? unsurprisingly piques a lot of curiosity.
