Freakshow Cakes is a culinary competition reality show that aired on the Oxygen network in 2019. The show was hosted by pastry chef Zac Young, and each episode featured four contestants who were challenged to create horrifying and fantastical cakes based on a different freak show theme.

The contestants were a mix of professional bakers, home bakers, and even people who had no prior experience in making cakes. They were given a limited amount of time to create their designs, and the judges – which included Young and Vivian Chan – evaluated their cakes based on creativity, taste, and execution.

One of the main draws of the show was the creativity and imagination that the contestants brought to their cakes. Each week featured a different freak show theme, such as "Zombies vs. Vampires," "Killer Clowns," and "Carnivorous Plants." The contestants had to come up with cakes that matched the theme while also being visually striking and delicious.

The challenges were often intense and demanding, with contestants having to work quickly and carefully to stay on schedule. There were moments of drama and tension as contestants struggled to overcome technical difficulties or creative blocks.

The judges were a key part of the show, offering feedback and critiques to the contestants while also adding their own flair to the proceedings. Young and Chan were both experienced bakers in their own right and offered valuable insights into the world of cake-making. They were also entertaining and engaging hosts, making the show enjoyable to watch even when the contestants were struggling.

Throughout the season, viewers were treated to a wide variety of cakes, from grotesque monsters to elegant fairy tale characters. Some of the standout creations included a giant zombie head made entirely out of cake, a menacing clown with a flowing cape made of sugar, and a carnivorous plant with teeth that were as sharp as knives.

Overall, Freakshow Cakes was a fun and entertaining show that highlighted the creativity and skill of amateur bakers from around the country. It was an interesting take on the traditional cooking competition format, blending horror and fantasy with baking to create a unique viewing experience. And though it only aired for one season, it left a lasting impression on fans of cooking shows and horror fans alike.

Freakshow Cakes is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (4 episodes). The series first aired on October 4, 2019.
