Is it real, or is it cake? New reality show aims to find out - The Takeout

Per Deadline, the series features teams of “celebrities and civilians” who must identify “outrageous edible creations designed to look like everyday ordinary objects.” Celebrity guests include Jamie Chung, Michelle Buteau, Rachel Dratch, and Aparna Nancherla. It’s unclear if contestants actually win anything; however, in the trailer above, it seems that contestants are forced to take a bite of each object after making their guess. I imagine that could lead to some pricey dental work—for example, if the guests mistake a ceramic dish for cake.Why do we need this show? Did someone ask for this? No, but Groban seems to be having fun with it. “I first saw this show in Japan when it was called Sokkuri Sweets and was obsessed with how fun and silly it was,” Groban said in a statement. “To be the ringmaster of such insanity is a dream.” Here’s hoping no one takes a bite out of Josh. He’s 100% man.
