Plot Synopsis

REALITY CUPCAKES is a half-hour reality series that follows Ashley Foxen and her crew at NYC's Reality Bites Cupcakes, as she takes food artistry to new heights with her cupcakes that look like real-life food and objects, like popsicles, lattes, lobster rolls, or high heels. On Monday, January 22, 2018 at 10:30pm ET/PT, Food Network premiered the series pilot, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. In the pilot, "Baked and Confused," Ashley replicates an iconic bagel sandwich in cupcake form for a New York bagel company celebrating its six-month anniversary. Then, a Long Island fire department wants to honor its volunteers with custom cupcakes that resemble a full-blown barbecue. Finally, Ashley and her baking team are tasked by NY Islander Johnny Boychuk with creating cupcakes that look like popcorn, nachos and beer for Military Appreciation Night at the hockey game. A little more than six months later, REALITY CUPCAKES had its official series premiere on Monday, August 6, 2018 from 10-11pm ET/PT, as Food Network debuted back-to-back new episodes:

"All That Katz" (10pm): Ashley Foxen debuts her pastrami-on-rye cupcakes for a thrilled crowd at the 130th anniversary party for Katz's Deli. Later, a super-chic succulent arrangement is created for a Hannah Storm get together. Finally, the Foxen family delivers mouthwatering lamb chop cupcakes complete with a side of mint jelly at a backyard barbecue.

"Thanks a Latte" (10:30pm): Ashley Foxen's cupcakes aren't just tasty -- they're magical! Crowds at Ripley's Believe It or Not! are stunned by a magician's trick using a shrunken head cupcake. Later, the gang brews up a latte made of cake at a local coffee shop whose patrons are delighted when they bite right through the cup. Finally, a bachelorette party toasts with margaritas and burrito cupcakes over brunch.
