Is it Cake? Take the Challenge!
Not gonna lie. This story goes off the rails
Is it Cake is a popular game show on Netflix.
In this delightful competition, contestants bake cakes that look like common objects. The goal is to get the judges to pick the object instead of the real cake.
Shall we try a similar game here on Medium, dear readers?
Please give yourself 1 point for every correct answer.
Warm-up Question
Is it cake?
The photo on the left is indeed cake.
The photo on the right is the band Cake, which is an incorrect answer.
How’d you do? Let’s play for real now that you’ve had practice!
#1
Is it cake?
Yes! Let’s dig in.
Oh, wait. There’s something inside. It seems to be a saw. Our producer is telling me one of the bakers is attempting to free his friend KookyEyez from jail.
Hmm… in that case, this “cake” is technically more of a vessel for an escape tool, rather than a delicious dessert.
Here’s the points breakdown:
Yes — 0 points
No — 1 point
Fun Fact: KookyEyez is a deranged criminal. Let’s hope the baker’s plan is foiled for the safety of our community.
#2
Is it cake?
No, this is a urinal at a Waffle House in West Virginia.
But wait! If you look closely, you can see a urinal cake inside! That counts, I guess.
Yes — 1 point
No — 0 points
Fun Fact: To the right of the urinal is a glory hole. In the olden wartime days, folks would sing patriotic songs through the holes to cheer up their fellow citizens.
Wait, our producer is saying my description is not accurate. Oh, THAT’S what a glory hole is?? Mother of God!
#3
Is it cake?
No. That’s Jake, which rhymes with cake. This one was easy to mix up so don’t beat yourself up if you got it wrong.
Yes — 0 points
No — 1 point
Fun Fact: Our producer bribed Jake to participate in this game after we caught him using the Waffle House glory hole.
#4
Is it cake?
I can see why you would think that is cake.
It looks like a cake, but it’s not edible. This is one of those cakes that strippers pop out of to surprise dirty men, like Jake.
Let me check it out. Whoa, there’s stuff inside! No stripper, but I see a sleeping bag, some stale Doritos, and a saw.
Yes — 0 points
No — 1 point
#5
Is it cake?
No, that is definitely NOT cake. That’s KookyEyez! He’s really mad because we found his hideout!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Book Club Corner 📚
Consider this whimsical story for your next book club meeting! Here’s a handy guide to spark invigorating conversation:
- Why weren’t there any cakes that look like common objects, as the intro paragraph described?
- Is it because the author is a chaotic idiot who lost control of the story but said “fuck it” and hit publish anyway? Discuss
- Why on earth would Jake Gyllenhaal be at a Waffle House in West Virginia?
- Doesn’t he seem too classy to use a glory hole?
- Or… is the author trying to make the point that you never really know who would use a glory hole? Discuss
- Why was KookyEyez imprisoned? Do you think his crime was a robbery gone wrong, or maybe a Weinstein situation?
- What’s the theme? The rise of crime in our nation, glory holes, or cake?
- Shut the f*ck up, Susan. Cake CAN be a theme.
- Are we out of wine? Who was in charge of the wine?
- Susan, you were in charge of the wine. Now, we are out of wine. If you were a character in this story, you’d be the urinal cake. Wait, that’s a bad comparison — urinal cakes aren’t useless! (hair pulling, glass breaking, ladies screaming)
