Is It Cake? is an American game show–style cooking competition television series created by Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, and hosted by Mikey Day. The series premiered on Netflix on March 18, 2022.

As a part of the trend, a common object or food is disguised as cake and others are tasked to determine which is real.[2][3] Day was introduced to the trend by his manager Michael Goldman, by which he was fascinated. Although Day had no baking experience or background, he took on role of host. Day explained the draw of show piqued the "human desire... to pick out the 'disguised something'."[4]
