Manganello revealed 10 cakes that look like household items and how much he would charge an individual for each cake. One is priceless, while another is $1 million
Manganello had already been famous on social media for his realistic cakes before becoming a contestant on the Netflix competition.
He is no stranger with sharing his extremely life-like creations over the years.
He did not reveal how much he would charge for the Keurig cake, but he admitted that he would charge food lovers very hefty prices.
Manganello’s least expensive cake on the list is the pumpkin bucket, which he said he would offer for free.
He upped the cake price to $4 for a hairdryer and $650 for an orange cooking pot.
The baker went even higher for the iPhone, cereal bowl and water bottle by jokingly charging between $999 and $1 million for the three of them.
The excellent news for cake lovers is that if they’re looking for a ‘lover’s special’ or ‘floor cake discount,’ they can always try his Croc and sleeping mask cakes.
Anyone hoping to get a priceless cake from Manganello will need to order his baby girl cake, which he cut in half with no hesitation.

Manganello turned out to be a controversial competitor due to his deep-red gelatin squares.
The social media star created red gelatin squares to mimic tomatoes in a real taco to trick judges into thinking the Mexican food item was actually a cake.
He told Tudum that his sneaky move did not break any rules and that the show took their regulations very seriously.
‘Since this episode was a fast-food challenge, I checked with culinary and rules and asked if it was OK to mess with my decoy with food, and they said «Absolutely,»‘ he stated.
Despite the loss and the cheating accusations made by some viewers, Manganello has continued to trick viewers with his cakes and has begun showing fans the secrets to his baking success.

Manganello, who occasionally serves as a judge on Without a Recipe – The Try Guys, currently sells cake kits that give directions on how food lovers can make the realistic treats from their homes.
According to The Jonny Cakes website, his cake kits create ‘the perfect opportunity to dip your toe into the amazing and technical world of hyper realistic cake baking.’
He currently sells the cereal bowl and cartoon cake kit and tutorial for $65 each.
They come with ‘nearly everything’ someone will need to create the cakes and a private link that features Mangenello in a video tutorial.
It’s unclear how many cake kits the baker has sold so far.
TikTok users have left several compliments for Mangenello in his January 7 video and have even thought he deserved ‘a second chance’ on Is It Cake?
Social media users have complimented the baker’s talents but have also realized the joke in his prices after seeing the iPhone and water bottle
Manganello responded to a few comments on the TikTok video and even admitted that he was ‘bad’ when Is It Cake? taped.
While many users applauded his joke prices, some of the commenters believed that the cooking pot would actually be worth $650, but one user wasn’t happy with the $999 iPhone cake price tag.
‘I thought 650 was reasonable but the iPhone being more expensive made no sense to me,’ a TikToker wrote.
