Are these tacos cake?

Netflix

No! But they’re very controversial.

To throw off judges, contestant Jonny Manganello put fake tomatoes on the real decoy tacos (that’s why they look so... off). He wasn’t penalized for the trickery, but many viewers were skeptical of the move.

Is this sack of money cake?

Netflix

Yep! A really unappetizing one.

Fortunately, the prize for correctly guessing this fake cake was getting real money — so, it all worked out.

Is this purse a cake?

Is this seashell a cake?

Netflix

Nope! Thankfully no one tried to bite into that.

This one fooled the judges — so if you missed out, you’re not alone.

Are these rubber duckies cake?

Netflix

Yes! (RIP, little guy.)

Though Dessiree Salaverria wasn’t able to fool the judges, they did seriously love the flavor of her chocolate chip cookie dough-inspired creation.
