It’s official: civilization has passed its peak. Chris and I watched the last episode of Ozark, season 4, part 1. To kill 20 minutes before picking up Maxine from a friend’s house, he switched on the Netflix reality baking show, Is It Cake?
I thought it was an SNL skit at first. This couldn’t be a real show. Talented bakers make cakes that look like real objects, and the contestants have to guess which one is the cake hiding among the non-cakes. For instance, is it a small suitcase with clothes spilling out? Wrong! It’s a cake! Watch as host Mikey Day (actually of the SNL cast) takes a knife to the petit valise and exposes layers of vanilla cake and buttercream!
After about 10 minutes, we had to turn it off. I’ll admit it wasn’t only because I felt dumber than I had 10 minutes earlier; I was also starting to crave cake.
