A new Food Network series, "Sweet Deceit," challenges bakers to create deceptive, hyper-realistic treats. Hosted by Josh Peck, the show features teams of three who must identify these hidden baked goods in various settings.
Each episode includes four rounds of escalating difficulty. Competitors must literally bite into their guesses to determine if they are real cake or an edible illusion. The ultimate prize for success is up to $12,000.
The show premieres on October 5th with two episodes back-to-back on Food Network and streams the following day on HBO Max. "Sweet Deceit" joins other Halloween-themed programming on Food Network.
"Halloween Wars" and "Halloween Baking Championship" are also airing new seasons with spooky-themed challenges. "Sweet Deceit" promises a "frightening" display of talent from specialized cake artists.
