-Life as a Master Cake Artisan and Illusionist–
Toronto based Master Cake Illusionist April Julian — of the brand new Netflix series “Is it Cake?” has been dreaming up award-winning custom cakes and desserts since 2007.
April’s love for baking and visual arts began at an early age. Even before she was old enough to use an oven, she would fill her mother’s baking pans with hand towels and pretend they were freshly baked cakes. On Christmas or birthdays, art supplies were always on the top of her wish list.
It wasn’t until decades later when she saw master cake artist Ron Ben Israel demonstrating a sugar orchid on TV that she realized there was a way to combine her two greatest passions.
Since that chance discovery, April has trained under some of the greatest cake artists in the world, and honed her own unique style and artistry.
Her award-winning creations have been featured in a number of international publications including American Cake Decorating Magazine and Cake Craft and Decoration UK.
And now you can catch her on Netflix’s new show, “Is it Cake?” which combines foodie culture with a good old fashioned reality baking competition series.
The show is hosted by Saturday Night Live star Mikey Day, and has a panel of celebrity judges who will attempt to distinguish between hyper- realistic cakes and everyday objects.
Tune in to learn more about April’s artistry in producing hyperrealistic cakes. Plus hear about some her insights about being part of a burgeoning hit Netflix show!
A Memorable Quote from the Episode:
“These are not your sort of grocery store cakes that you get for forty bucks. The level of detail, difficulty and number of hours it takes to put something together is real.”
