Is It Cake Too? is the highly anticipated follow-up to the original Netflix baking series Is It Cake?, where bakers attempt to fool judges with their realistic-looking creations.
Announcing the sequel, Netflix teased: "A fresh batch of bakers who specialize in hyperrealistic bakes will be tasked once again to make the most unlikely objects out of cake.
