.kvanaren has some advice for how to fix Netflix's 'Is It Cake.' It involves a set, a group of regular people, a blindfold, and a knife
Too little of Is It Cake is spent cutting into things with knives, and any adjusted version should start by addressing that problem. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix Netflix, never one to let the sleeping dog of a popular internet meme lie, has a new reality show out called Is It Cake. It’s an attempt to capitalize on the trend of cake trompe l’oeil, which has been around for many years but has really gained traction on social media, in videos where people cut into things that don’t look like cake.
In all fairness, some of the choices for how to turn this meme into a show were pretty decent. Still, it’s hard not to watch and think, I do not care about any of this. I came for one thing and one thing only: to watch people cut into something that doesn’t look like cake and reveal its inner secrets.
The rough idea is this: An eager Is It Cake contestant, ideally cast using the same general criteria of a show like Wipeout or Supermarket Sweep, is put in a blindfold and then led into a room they have never seen before. It’s a set, prepared ahead of time, made to resemble any number of different spaces. Production could really get creative here. Maybe it’s a small space — a hotel room, sponsored by Sheraton.
There are several ways to adjust this rough premise, depending on which network buys this show or what audience they’re hoping to draw. One option is to turn it into a partner game, where the in-room contestants leave the blindfold on and are directed to cut random shit in their proximity depending on what their partner, viewing the scene from a distance, thinks looks the most suspicious. It could become a game about racking up points, with several cakes hidden throughout the set.
