What did Mikey Day say about Is It Cake?
In 2022, Day was announced as the host of the Netflix series Is It Cake? which puts bakers head to head in creating hyper-realistic cakes.
The first season of Is It Cake? was released on March 18, 2022, exclusively on Netflix.
Before the show's release, Day opened up about his experience on the show revealing that it made him question the dessert altogether.
"I mean, everyone likes cake! I was alerted to this internet fad when I saw some video of someone cutting into a 'puppy,'" Day told .
";It was unnerving, but weirdly fascinating," he said.
"And when [Netflix] explained the premise of the show, it sounded really fun because there's that baking show element, but there's also this play-along-at-home portion that I found super compelling."
"I was definitely introduced to the artistry that goes into baking hyper-realistic cakes through this show," he added.
On the show, bakers have the chance to win up to $10,000 per episode as well as the $50,000 grand prize.
"I definitely gained a newfound respect for what the bakers with this skill do," Day said.
"But also baking in general, because I'm not the best," Day added.
"...I learned what fondant was, which is a huge tool in their tool bags."
"Modeling chocolate is something I learned about, which is basically baker's clay. And it gets super thick and a little hard to cut."
The hit Netflix series was renewed for a second season, titled, Is It Cake, Too?
The second season premiered on Netflix on June 30, 2023.
