If there’s one thing we learned from Is it Cake? Season 1, it’s that truly anything can be cake: a bucket hat, a conch shell, even a sneaker. And though the objects that the show’s expert bakers construct may be fake, the competition couldn’t be more real. 

The outrageous baking battle is back for Season 2 on June 30, and ready to make you question your reality like never before. A fresh batch of bakers who specialize in hyperrealistic bakes will be tasked once again to make the most unlikely objects out of cake — this time around, think baseball gloves, weekender bags, toilets and even the Mona Lisa herself — with the hopes of deceiving a slew of seasoned chefs and celebrity guests. Below, check out the trailer for Is it Cake, Too? as well as the 10 chefs hoping to take home their share of a $120,000 prize pot and to shock you to your (possibly cake-filled) core.

Danya Smith

One look at Danya’s novelty cake bakery, and you’ll immediately see that the Richmond, Virginia, native has a penchant for ’90s nostalgia — Bop It! toys, Hey Arnold and Sabrina the Teenage Witch DVDs made of cake all adorn her social media. But Danya, who studied sculpture in school, isn’t a gatekeeper: She also posts video tutorials of many of her hyperrealistic creations for aspiring bakers to re-create.

Kayla is from Lafayette, Louisiana, and worked as a high school teacher for seven years before recently deciding to pursue her passion for baking full time.
