A scene from "Dallas Cakes"

Sometimes, you can have your cake and eat it, too. OK, so you might have to bake (or buy -- I won't judge) your own, but if it's just cake-focused TV shows you're looking for -- or, really, any sweets for that matter -- then Monday nights on Food Network sure have you covered. Every week gets off to a sweet start with a night of dessert-filled shows, and this week's new episodes of "Spring Baking Championship" and "Vegas Cakes" are welcoming a new arrival.

"Dallas Cakes" joins Food Network's Monday night lineup on Monday, April 30, bringing the city's signature larger-than-life grandeur to the baking realm. They say that everything is bigger in Texas, and the cakes on display here definitely give that old idiom a whiff of truth. Each episode finds three of the city's most talented bakers creating edible art from flour, sugar, eggs and icing, with cameras following along for the entire process, from conception to delivery to the customer.

In this week's premiere, a groom wants nothing more than a "Game of Thrones"-themed cake for his special day, and the result -- an intricately detailed Iron Throne complete with a sculpted ice dragon -- is so beautiful that someone could lose their head. Then, a block party celebrating the Chinese New Year wants a cake that really captures the celebration's spirit -- and the bakers deliver a confection that even smokes!

Finally, the Fort Worth Stockyards Championship Rodeo is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and a milestone like that deserves a one-of-a-kind cake. With 24 layers of coffee cake molded into what might be the world's largest edible belt buckle, the real challenge is transporting the gargantuan dessert from the bakery to the arena without it falling apart.

Things don't get any less over the top in next week's episode. With an incredibly lifelike five-foot-long alligator, a massive police badge celebrating one of Dallas's finest, and even a realistic giant golf cart all being put together, the cakes on display here really are works of art worthy of their own TV show.

Luckily, that show is easy to find. "Dallas Cakes" joins Food Network's Monday night baking lineup on April 30.
