Celebrity cakemaster Duff Goldman is known for his massive confections, but things are going to a whole new extreme in Super Mega Cakes on Food Network.

"These life-sized sweet creations are unlike anything anyone has ever seen – there are cakes with holograms, cakes that float, even cakes that have cameras inside,” Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a press release. “Duff and these incredible cake artists pushed culinary limits in every episode, and we cannot wait for our viewers to see each masterpiece."

Some of the themes coming to the six-episode season include a Superman challenge, Under the Sea and Alien Invasion.
