Is It Cake?: Cake University (2023)
STOP DESTROYING DECOYS
This show is just getting out of hand, it feels like it's become more about making the decoys look worse instead of making the cakes look better.
We're here to see impressive cakes that replicate real life objects, instead they're just dragging the decoys down to match their mediocre cake decorating skills. This leaves other contestants that follow the spirit of the show at a major disadvantage. Not worth watching, I would recommend anyone reading this doesn't waste their time, give your kids a pile of fondant instead, you'll probably get the same results.
Beyond that, the judging system is absurd. With only 1 decoy in the first episodes, if a contestant perfectly replicates their object, the judges pick at random and they have, at best, a 50/50 shot at "fooling" them. This means that even the best contestants can easily get unlucky and lose, making skill less important than luck.
