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.

"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."

There's everything to bake for, with a huge cash prize of $120,000 up for grabs. So who's in the running? Let's meet them...
