Do you crave a charcuterie board made of white chocolate? Perhaps a Furby with funfetti inside? Or even a deodorant cake with a little hair, to make it realistic? Lucky for you, those creations — and others you could only dream up — actually exist, because the wildly creative Is It Cake? bakers have made them all.
If you’re wondering where you can get a dessert similar to the hyper-realistic creations on the baking competition show, look no further. We’ve rounded up the businesses and social media accounts of all the star bakers, so you can commission one for yourself... or just stalk their Instagrams and get extra hungry. Below, find the complete list and wonder for yourself, “Is it cake?”
Perhaps inspired by his eclectic bakes, Andrew bakes under the nickname Sugar Freakshow. If you live near Des Moines, Iowa, you can commission one of his cakes for yourself through his Facebook — bleeding heart cake, anyone?
You can follow April on TikTok or Instagram to get a peek of her unconventional cakes. Want to learn from the master herself? She also teaches classes.
Primarily a wedding cake designer, Dessiree makes masterpieces inspired by flowers and architecture (and, of course, some furry friends). You can book a consultation with her on her website.
At her shop Hemu’s Sweet Sensations, Hemu creates custom cakes for birthdays, weddings and graduations, though she also specializes in sculpted cake figurines.
Jonny went viral for baking lookalike cakes on TikTok — in the past he’s made fast-food cakes like McDonald’s and Taco Bell, and even re-created Monsters Inc’s Mike Wazowski. Though Jonny doesn’t own a bakery (yet), you can follow his TikTok account to see more hyper-realistic bakes.
Through his business Everything Just Baked, Justin not only fills custom orders but also sells ingredients and business classes. But if you’re in northern New Jersey, you can order a cake creation for yourself. (Sharing optional.)
With her Louisiana-inspired bakes, Nina always makes sure to pay homage to her hometown. If you’re in the area, she takes custom cake orders through her Instagram; you can also visit her food truck, Nina Creole, for seafood rolls and cake bowls.
In the market for a M&M cookie cake, a Harry Potter birthday cake or even a cake shaped like a pickle jar? You’re in luck, because Sam Cade, aka Cade’s Cakes, has got you covered. If you’re in the Dallas area, you can commission a cake through her website; if not, she also ships her “cake guts” — deconstructed cake in a jar — nationwide.
Steve primarily focuses on his work as associate dean of the culinary school at his local community college; in his downtime, he shows off his baked creations on Instagram.
