What the Is It Cake? Valentines Special Is About
Is It Cake Kitchen takes on a Valentine’s theme for the first time, with three baking couples competing instead of individual contestants.
The couples face a new set of games and challenges as they create cakes that closely resemble everyday objects, enough to mislead the judges and their fellow competitors. Netflix also confirms that the episode introduces viewer-focused games, marking the first time the franchise has incorporated interactive-style elements intended specifically for the audience at home.
The competition maintains the series’ core premise while adjusting the format to emphasize teamwork, collaboration, and shared decision-making among partners.

Netflix has confirmed the following couples as competitors in Is It Cake? Valentines special:
- Alex & Amanda

The judging panel for the episode features two celebrity couples:
- Ashlee Simpson & Evan Ross
