If you find yourself captivated by baking competitions like The Great British Bake Off or various holiday-themed baking shows but lack the culinary prowess to match, you’re in for a treat. Netflix has recently launched a delightful series titled “Nailed It,” which features amateur bakers who boldly venture into the kitchen, despite their apparent lack of skills.
Now streaming on Netflix, each episode introduces three contestants who attempt to create cakes, only to face hilarious setbacks. With its tagline stating, “Nailed It is a baking competition for anyone who has followed a Pinterest recipe and failed spectacularly,” you can expect plenty of laughter.
While the show aims to boost contestants’ baking skills and confidence, viewers are likely to find themselves laughing in solidarity, whispering, “I’ve been there too,” as they witness these baking disasters unfold. Just take a look at some of these comically unfortunate creations!
Host Mia Grant humorously remarked about one particularly frightful cake, “That is so terrifying! And I doubt anyone’s coming to the rescue.”
The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with many viewers feeling a sense of camaraderie with the contestants, reminding us that we’re not alone in our baking blunders. As you settle in to watch, you might recall your own kitchen catastrophes—those ambitious birthday cakes gone awry or the holiday cookies that didn’t quite turn out as expected. It’s a shared experience that many face, and thankfully, Netflix offers a platform to embrace our culinary shortcomings.
I must admit, my last baking endeavor for my children didn’t go according to plan either. And guess what? My mother-in-law is a former cake decorator, so the pressure was on!
Mia co-hosts the six 30-minute episodes alongside renowned chef Eric Martinez, and their banter is nearly as entertaining as the baking attempts themselves. Notably, the winner of each episode receives a $10,000 prize, adding a competitive edge to the comedic chaos.
Described by Netflix as “part reality contest, part delightful mess,” this show is a must-watch.
