Sometimes a meme becomes a show, and that meme is cake.

Based on the popular 2020 trend of things that don't look like cake but are in fact cake comes Netflix's IS IT CAKE? Host Mikey Day wrangles a team of highly-skilled bakers and celebrity judges who question the very fabric of reality while trying to deceive and determine the true identity of cake. The series will consist of eight 40-minute episodes.

You may ask: What is the point of this show? Why does it exist? Is this worth the time or effort? The answer to all of your questions is: Cake.

IS IT CAKE premieres March 18 on Netflix.
