Illusion Cake Competition: Powered by KitchenAid

Step into a world of culinary creativity at this year’s Ideal Home Show, where the Cake Competition takes a delightful turn with its theme, "Illusion Cakes - Home Edition." This unique contest challenges bakers to create astonishing bakes that look deceptive, playing with visuals to craft cakes that look like everyday objects but are entirely edible.

We’re looking for hyper-realistic cakes that mimic everyday household items—from a teapot that’s actually a sponge cake to a chocolate ganache-filled remote control.

Inspired by Viral Sensations If the ‘Is It Cake?’ phenomenon on TikTok or Netflix has captivated you, now’s your chance to stun audiences with your own edible masterpieces. This year’s competition is all about illusion—cakes disguised as handbags, shoes, candles, and more. We’re inviting you to bring the heart of your home to life in cake form. Whether it's a stylish lamp, a succulent plant, a bottle of wine, or even an entire room, your task is to create a cake so realistic it makes the judges do a double-take.

Win Fabulous KitchenAid Appliances. As the official prize provider, KitchenAid is offering their top-of-the-line kitchen appliances to the winners. No matter if you bake as a hobby or professionally, these prizes will inspire any baker to explore new heights of culinary art.
