Plot Synopsis

CAKE MASTERS is a one-hour reality series that spotlights the biggest, most jaw-dropping cakes that Duff Goldman has ever attempted -- from start to finish. Duff's got his friend, Geof Manthorne, at his side and the best cake decorators in Los Angeles on his speed dial, but that's not enough so he's also bringing in Hollywood FX pros, pyrotechnic masters, and engineering geniuses to help get these giant cakes planned, decorated, delivered, and unveiled before time runs out. Food Network premiered the pilot of CAKE MASTERS on Monday, September 7, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT, with the official series premiere seven months later on Monday, April 11, 2016 at 9pm. In the pilot, "Fantastic Four Cakes," comic book legend Stan Lee wants a massive cake, which he then presents to the cast of the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie at Comic-Con. Then, Duff and his team of Hollywood FX artists tackle a dog-shaped cake that weighs over 100 pounds for local charity Casa Pacifica, while still managing to jam out a rock star cake for an actual rock star, Travis Barker. Then, in the official series debut, "Skylanders Portal Cake," the cake masters take on a mega cake for the anniversary of a video game powerhouse franchise. The bakers bite off more than they can chew when they must also make a towering cake for the groundbreaking ceremony of a popular California casino-resort. From a taste of Tinseltown with a panoramic cityscape cake for a billion dollar Hollywood gala, to a four-wheeled showstopper of a mega monster truck cake, and to a playable edible guitar cake that must take center stage, these elaborate-edible works of art are unlike anything ever seen before.
