Ten-Episode Series Premieres Sunday, November 5th at 10pm ET/PT on

NEW YORK - October 24, 2017 - Freed's Bakery in Las Vegas has been making magic happen for fifty-eight years with their famous cakes and Food Network reveals the creativity and skill that goes into these unique creations in the ten-episode series Vegas Cakes. Freed's may look like a neighborhood bakery, but the cake artists in their secret back room make the most fun, outrageous and elaborate cakes in town. From a giant Cadillac Cake for the Viva Las Vegas rockabilly weekend and a stunt man's birthday cake illustrating a legendary record jump to cakes for Las Vegas legends like Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Newton and Penn and Teller, Freed's sugary creations wow their guests every time. Vegas Cakes kicks off with two back-to-back episodes on Sunday, November 5th at 10pm ET/PT.

"The sinfully sweet masterpieces on Vegas Cakes are works of art," said Courtney White, Senior Vice President, Programming, Scripps Networks Interactive. "Watching these unique confections take shape is sure to entertain our audience and inspire them to think outside the cakebox."
