Celebrity pastry chef Duff Goldman is set to premiere a new competition series on Food Network featuring colossal cake creations. The appropriately named “Super Mega Cakes” will kick off with a Superman-themed challenge, perfectly timed ahead of James Gunn’s highly anticipated “Superman” movie release on July 11.
Man of Steel Meets Master of Sugar
The series premiere, airing June 16 at 9:00pm ET on Food Network (and streaming the next day on Max), will feature Goldman’s “Team Duff” facing off against a renowned British cake artist and her team. The Superman-inspired challenge will require contestants to create life-sized cakes that not only capture the essence of the iconic superhero but also incorporate animation elements.
This Superman-themed launch represents a strategic collaboration between Food Network and DC Studios, both owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The timing provides excellent cross-promotion for the upcoming “Superman” film while showcasing the extraordinary talents of the cake artists.
The six-episode series will see Goldman and his Charm City Cakes team, including his right-hand man Geof Manthorne, competing against six teams of elite cake artists. Each competition will unfold over an intensive four-day period, with all teams working simultaneously to create their masterpieces.
“Super Mega Cakes” premieres June 16 on Food Network, with the Superman challenge serving as the perfect launchpad for this ambitious new series.
