In 'Duff Takes The Cake', Duff Goldman and his team of decorators, designers and builders work around the clock to make epic, show-stopping cakes for milestone events and parties for their social media followers. The team is then challenged with delivering these extra-special creations to a variety of venues and locations both on time and intact. Season 2 is returning to television soon, read on to find out more.

Release date

'Duff Takes The Cake' Season 2 will premiere on Monday, May 4, 2020.

Plot

Each episode will follow Duff and his team as they work around the clock to meet impossible deadlines, defeat design challenges and overcome delivery obstacles, but the reactions to their incredible designs are always the icing on the cake. Throughout the first season, Duff and his team transformed last-minute requests into innovative cakes in just days, often facing unforeseeable challenges. From birthday cakes for kids who survived the Northern California wildfires to an aquarium-themed cake to celebrate the hardworking volunteers at a local aquarium, each one will require meticulous detail. Making it even more challenging, every cake must be intact and make it on time to some wild events like an ice-cold plunge in a frozen mountain lake and a rodeo surrounded by 2000-pound bulls.

For Season 2, they are upping the game. From a life-size angel cake for volunteers of Project Angel Food, who prepare and deliver healthy meals to the sick, to a “Star Wars” droid cake with a twist for kids who are leading the way with science and technology innovation, and to a deceptively real grill cake with meat barbecuing for a celebration for the Los Angeles Fire and Police departments, these cakes always impress as an added surprise for these celebrations.
