Nailed It! Germany (2020): Season 1, Episode 6 - Der reine Horror - full transcript
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Hold on to your seats
because today, it's getting spooky.
It's time for Nailed It! Germany.
In this show, three amateur bakers
try to bake great cakes and pastries,
and fail most of the time.
One of them can win 5,000 euros.
And today's theme is Going To the Movies.
The man next to me
is just a little scary.
It's the Lord of the Cake Rings,
Bernd Siefert!
Today's guest judge is very experienced,
at least, when it comes to movies.
He is one of the most famous
movie critics, Robert Hoffmann.
Hello.
And, of course, every good movie
has main actors.
Here are our contestants!
My name is Rosanna
and I am 18 years old.
I'm from Falkensee
and currently, I am still in school.
I use most of my downtime to exercise.
I love doing gymnastics.
In the kitchen, I'm rather chaotic.
I try to keep everything in order,
but that doesn't always work out.
So...
I am here today
because a lot of my friends
have criticized my baking abilities.
But I want to prove
that I can really do this.
And here is the masterpiece.
My name is Davide, I am 43 years old.
Ciao!
Today, we are baking a cake!
I've been a head chef for 20 years now.
As head chef...
That sounds hard!
...I have almost nothing to do
with baking.
This looks like soup,
not like buttercream.
But... I think it's fun.
This car was in an accident.
I will win today,
I am almost certain.
I will bake my cake
with love, amore, and passion.
My name is Semra, I'm 31 years old
and I'm from Istanbul.
I miss my family here in Germany a lot.
My mom taught me how to bake
and her great-grandma taught her.
I think it runs in the family.
Too hot!
The hardest part for me
is decorating the cake.
I am not really creative.
No!
I'm not really good at fine tuning.
Yes, the egg just dropped down
out of nowhere.
I will win
because my cake will taste the best.
Welcome, sweeties.
Semra, Davide and Rosanna.
Today it's all about performance
that could be straight out of a movie.
Our first round is Baker's Choice.
We'll show you three of the most
bloodthirsty movie characters of all times.
Open the gate!
We have three scary animals that played
the lead role in movie classics
as cake pops.
The great white shark!
The kind that will pull you
under the water
on your next beach vacation.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Scientists brought him back to life
and set him free in our midst.
And the most scary gorilla of all times!
But we won't make it easy for you.
We also want an XXL cupcake
with decoration that matches the theme.
It's your choice!
Choose now or I will devour you.
Semra, why did you choose the dinosaur?
I love dinosaurs.
My daughter always draws them.
This one looked rather nice.
That's why I chose it.
Bernd, how can they show us a blockbuster
and not just some blurry home movie?
The secret of cake pops is in the texture.
If it's wrong,
the result will be horrific.
You have 45 minutes,
and time is already ticking.
I would hurry up! Go!
Ah, glasses.
Sugar.
I will try to stick to the recipe,
but that doesn't always work.
I need sugar!
-Bernd!
-Yes.
How can they beat those cake pop monsters
without being beaten by them first?
Actually, it is simple.
Bake the dough for the cupcakes.
Mix cake with buttercream
for the cake pops.
Then shape the mixture,
put it on a stick and let it set.
Decorate the cupcakes
with buttercream and fondant.
Cover the cake pops with candy melts
and let that set.
And then you can breathe some life
into the animals with fondant.
Gotcha.
Oil...
Oil! Where is my oil?
Oil?
Oil!
I found the oil.
I tried to use everything that I had to
for the batter.
Cake mix. Okay.
Cool.
Where are you going?
Sugar...
Hey, what's up?
Cake mix. We keep going!
And she is running.
She has the longest way to the pantry.
She jumps like a young deer.
I liked my position at the very back,
in comparison to the others.
I have very long legs
that I put to good use.
I'm going to get the muffin mold first.
-She's running back and forth, isn't she?
-Jump.
I'm running back.
The way I run was shaped
through track and field run.
I was a track runner for many years.
Now what?
I'm baking something now.
I'm making something. Anything.
Davide works as a chef.
He didn't measure the oil.
Is a chef better at baking cakes,
or is a confectioner better at cooking?
A confectioner
is used to working accurately.
Chefs, it's all by rule of thumb.
I'm really confused right now.
But I don't know why.
I'll get there.
Sounds like surgeon compared to GP.
Robert, how did you become a movie critic?
I used to be an actor
and that's when YouTube came to Germany.
I started making videos
talking about movies,
and just never stopped.
So you are a real movie geek.
Geek used to be a word
that described
some lonely, pimply, fat guy,
sitting in a corner.
But today, geeks rule the world.
What is your favorite scary movie?
Favorite horror movie?
Yes!
I'm living it right now.
Semra used a whole block of butter.
She has no idea what she's doing.
The butter is too hard.
Now, I have to put this in there.
I can't mix this manually.
I think I was born with my baking skills.
More or less.
I hope this works.
I watched my great-grandma
and later my mother.
This is disgustingly green.
I think it's going to be a slime monster.
The right thing for today.
There she goes!
She's so relaxed.
I'm gonna go
and see what's happening there.
I will try to bake now.
When I'm done, I will...
I will do what I'm best at:
flirting with women.
-Davide, hello.
-Hi.
He's taking off his glasses.
I'm trying to bake something now. Yes.
But I can stand here and watch.
Is your cupcake in the oven yet?
Okay.
-One, two, three, four! Wow!
-Alright.
Angelina made me absolutely--
She distracted me.
But you know
that you also have to make the shark?
Shark?
Yes.
That's how it is.
-I'll do my best.
-Yes. "He always tried very hard."
-You know?
-How much time?
-Not a lot.
-Okay.
She absolutely confused me.
I saw Angelina...
And then I could only think of Angelina,
not of the cake or the cake pop...
not of the buttercream...
Don't take so much.
Less.
-Too much?
-Yes!
BY THE WAY... CAKE POP BATTER
IS 2/3 CAKE AND 1/3 BUTTERCREAM
Davide took the entire buttercream
for his cake pop.
He has no buttercream left
for his XXL cupcake.
Damn!
I take a little more.
Can't hurt.
Unbelievable.
Hurry up, sweeties.
You only have 15 minutes left.
I won't make it.
-Sorry!
-Yes?
Buttercream is butter and...
And?
-Icing sugar? No idea.
-Icing sugar? No.
I don't know. I really have no clue.
Semra!
Yes?
Buttercream.
-What?
-How do I make buttercream?
-Butter and...
-It's in the recipe.
Butter, cream cheese, and icing sugar.
Mix in equal proportions.
Davide realized
that he needs more buttercream.
He has to make a second batch.
Keep calm!
Okay. Now.
Taste test.
Yummy!
Very yummy.
It tastes like... blue!
Alright.
I have decorated cakes
with candy melts,
but never cake pops.
I always use cream cheese.
This is too much.
I just need a little bit.
Semra put the candy melt
into the cake pop batter.
That could get really hard.
It is important
to cover pops with melted candy melts
and then let them set.
I am not sure
if the result is something
that we want to eat.
He'll bite on granite.
I'll wrap that around my ape.
They're decorating already?
Everybody is starting
to play around with fondant.
And they really should get going.
How will I make this figure?
RECIPE MONSTER CAKE POPS
4. FORM CAKE POP MONSTER
-What is that?
-No...
I'm good at the art of decorating.
I'm really good.
I'm building a shark now.
It looks like maybe calzone or cannoli.
As Italian...
I would have rather made some pasta
and not a fish.
Disaster.
A plate or something?
You have five minutes left!
Now I have to look after my frosting.
It is congealed.
Because the butter was too cold.
Oh no. The frosting is not good.
The piping bag of horror.
When my frosting was more like a soup,
I thought: "Okay, that was it for today."
Oh no.
ROSANNA
READY FOR THE FINAL SPRINT
Oh dear! That looks like...
This one broke apart. I'll take this one.
It's a splatter film.
I'll cut this here.
Like this.
One minute left!
Getting down to the wire!
This doesn't hold.
Don't steal my popcorn!
Oh no. That is too long.
Five!
Four! Three!
Two!
One!
Hands up! Time's up!
-Davide, perfectly done.
-Davide, what did you do?
Oh no!
You wanted your cake crunchy, didn't you?
Semra, we'll start with you.
You chose the T-Rex.
Now show us your monstrous monster.
Okay.
Nailed it!
He lives on a volcano.
And there was an eruption
and melted everything.
I think your T-Rex is really cute.
But everything else is rather runny.
A lot of the details melted away.
I think it's actually really well done,
I gotta say.
The only pity is that
with the cupcake on the bottom
and the cake pop on top,
the cake pop should be on a stick.
There probably is a stick
somewhere in there,
but I have to be able to get to it.
It slid in.
It looks like you left your model outside
on a hot summer's day.
Then we get this result.
But it is really cute.
I'm interested to see how it tastes.
Alright, then we'll try a bite, yes?
Look, here is the stick.
Cutting directly on the table. Rough!
Unfortunately, the cake pop is a rock.
Is it possible that you poured
candy melts in there?
Yes, the recipe said so.
Yes, but on the outside.
The outside...
Semra, I gotta say, your cream...
Yes, I like it a lot, Bernd. Stop it.
I like that it's a bit mushy.
Semra, first of all, thank you.
We'll go to the next creature.
Davide.
You chose the great white shark.
Now show us your... battlefield.
Nailed it!
"Battlefield" was just a guess,
but turns out, I was right.
I see the insides of a whale there.
With shards of glass.
At least you have a wooden stick
for your cake pop.
That is really...
awesome.
Everyone knows the scene in Free Willy
where he jumps.
I think if he hadn't make it, then...
That's what it looks like.
But I hope it tastes good.
Davide, I'm really sorry to say this,
but the glass shards make it impossible
for us to taste it.
On our way to the next creature,
so we can recover from this sight.
-Rosanna!
-Yes.
You chose the scary ape.
And now show us your masterpiece.
Nailed it!
This is obviously a work of art.
On the bottom we see the city.
And my ape wants to leave the city
to climb on his mountain.
And your skyscraper
has already left, too.
-The ape tore it down.
-Yes.
You made a cupcake.
I see popcorn.
But this is not a cake pop
because a cake pop comes on a stick.
-Yes...
-On the bottom we have dough,
on the top we have
something gray and bloody.
But do you find it scary?
-The theme is horror movies.
-Absolutely.
That is one possible interpretation.
And I'm excited to try it.
But it actually looks really good.
So...
-It tastes better than it looks
-Yay!
-Thank God!
-Really yummy.
The buttercream is really yummy,
the sponge cake...
The dough of your cupcake
is really nice and fluffy.
Together they taste really good.
My little stars, come together.
Now it's getting interesting!
Bernd, please give your laudatory speech.
Who won?
The look of everything was
really horrific,
but we appreciate inner values.
That's why the winner is... Rosanna!
Congratulations, Rosanna!
Robert, what does Rosanna get?
A brand-new popcorn machine!
And on top of that,
you get our golden baker's hat!
Oh my God.
Beautiful.
A Star is born.
I have won the first round.
Of course I feel super good.
And I'm really happy.
This was only a short film.
Now, we move on to the blockbuster.
We are in the final round
with the scary name...
Nailed It or Failed It!
Sweeties, spot on, open the gate!
Welcome to our zombie cinema!
Cake isn't only sweet. It can also be used
to make something spooky.
This is a sweet horror cinema.
The screen is a cookie,
under the floor paneling is cake,
and the monster
is made of rice crispy mass.
Davide!
You had such a hard time
in the first round
and that's why you get the SOS joker.
If you activate it,
"Walking Bernd" will come to you...
and help you for exactly three minutes.
And don't forget,
the winner gets 5,000 euros
as the baking award.
-And I'm gonna say: "Action!"
-Go!
Let's see what I need.
Batter? A batter,
a base...
In the end, the taste counts.
I will do my own thing.
I will try to improve the recipe
to make it really tasty and not too sweet.
I want to convince the judges
with the taste of the cake.
We could use some film score.
-Film score?
-Yes, in the background.
With a slow build.
Bernd, explain.
How does the zombie cinema work?
It's not that hard.
The base of the cinema is a cake.
For the screen and the chairs,
we make shortcrust pastry and roll it out.
Cut the screen and the chairs.
The screen should be pricked before baking
to avoid blisters.
It will also keep it from breaking easily.
Bake until golden brown.
For the zombie head, mix rice crispies
with melted marshmallows,
then form.
Now, all the parts are done
and can be covered with fondant,
put together, and decorated.
Please don't forget the audience.
Yes, but that doesn't sound easy, does it?
I'm reading it,
but I will use my own recipe
for the cake.
I put butter in the batter.
It says oil, but I use butter.
This recipe is from my great-grandma.
We'll see what we get.
In the second round,
I want to try harder.
In the beginning,
this was only fun for me.
-I don't see a lot of blood...
-He's very quiet.
Davide! Hurry up!
-Faster!
-Yes!
-Go!
-What? I am hurrying up!
Oh no, what was that?
-Mamma mia!
-That was mean of you!
That was too fast.
Will it be better this time?
-I hope so.
-Yes. Me, too.
Now I add some vanilla.
I had an organized start.
Now I add a drop of this.
But just a little because... I've no idea.
I'm pretty good at forgetting ingredients.
And now the batter goes back in here.
No! Stop!
Lime zest.
What I'm doing right now
calms me down.
It's relaxing
because I don't have to run around.
Why can't I use lime juice?
Why is lime zest better?
The zest carries the flavor.
The juice is just sour.
-Alright!
-Okay.
RECIPE ZOMBIE CAKE
2. MAKE SHORTCRUST PASTRY FOR SCREEN
Look at Davide.
He's killing the machine.
It's a no-go to try and make
shortcrust pastry with a whisk.
For one, it's killing the machine,
and second...
I hear her cry.
...the batter gets foamy.
Which means it can get runny later on.
I'm getting a bit worried.
The batter didn't turn out
like I wanted it.
Yes, but now I'm getting help.
-SOS!
-I knew it.
I knew it! Davide!
-Please!
-What happened?
-What happened?
-I want...
-shortcrust pastry.
-Yes, okay.
But I got this.
-That is too soft.
-Yes.
You have to wrap it in foil.
Roll it out very thin
and put it in the blast chiller.
That cools it down quickly.
He only talked the entire time.
Cool down.
Not freeze.
I understood only half of it.
You have to see,
maybe back there or here...
I had hoped he would talk
about Angelina...
but he only talked about the cake. Yes.
Bernd, you're back already.
And?
We will have to work on your performance.
I spotted the tinfoil.
Yes, I really fought
with everything I had.
I took stuff from the others.
But you have to look at it this way:
I had the longest way
and didn't want to run to the pantry
all the time.
It's enough when one of us goes.
I'll cut this to size later.
Now, I make the...
Whatchamacallit?
The...
frosting!
I don't know what frosting is.
I've never made that.
Alright, buttercream!
Okay, it's a buttercream.
Like this. Like...
This... Buttercream.
The frosting didn't go so well
in the first round.
That's why I really want to try
to make it better this time.
The ingredients
didn't have the right temperature
and the whole thing just became a soup.
The batter is almost done.
Now, I put it in the fridge.
She's really into it now.
She is really, um...
Showing teeth now. She's in it to win it.
Well, it does look good.
Attention.
You have one hour left.
And then we close the gates.
Okay, was that not hectic enough?
You have one hour left!
Hello! Davide!
Faster, Davide!
Yes!
This thing is rad, I'll take it home.
Hello, Bernd.
Butter.
I make a dough
and then I can build humans.
Davide puts way too much butter
into the marshmallows.
8oz...
Utter chaos.
No, bollocks.
Instead of 1oz...
I used 8oz of butter.
It was my mistake.
The butter is swimming in there.
It is a disaster.
He's making a soup,
that's what he's doing.
Now I need rice... crispy.
Too small.
It's not good.
I'm not looking forward to eating
what Davide is making.
This is way too hot,
but I think I can touch it.
Yes.
Have I ever told you that my kids say
I have iron hands
because I can touch the hottest stuff
in the world?
-No.
-That's how it is.
-Should we clap now?
-Yes.
Thanks.
Thank you.
This is getting interesting.
It looks pretty.
-Right?
-Yes.
Really good.
-Where is she going?
-I don't know what she's doing.
She has the face in her hand. Careful!
She jumps like a young deer.
This is becoming the head of the monster.
Somehow. I have to... something.
I'll try. I can't do anything else.
This is not A Nightmare on Elm Street,
this is A Nightmare on Baker Street.
I'll put the crispy on the cake now.
Then I'll color them.
The monster, the face,
I did that with risotto.
Something weird is brewing back there.
And this was the result.
Okay, five minutes until the showdown!
RECIPE ZOMBIE CAKE
5. DECORATE AND PUT TOGETHER
No! I have...
-Am I allowed to put it back?
-Oh no!
Ten-second rule. It's still good!
-Really?
-No! Toss it!
Man!
-Semra has put the screen up.
-Yes, it's tilting forwards.
Oh no. Please, no.
Or a cucumber? I'll just try it.
-Cucumber.
-Why is she putting a cucumber behind it?
What is that supposed to be?
I have to...
build up a wall.
Oh God, what a nail-biter!
I don't think so. Disaster is in the air.
Guys, one minute!
-The last minute!
-Just one minute!
Ros... Oh!
Rosanna...
just mashes everything together.
I'd really like to help.
Hold that!
I'll grab something.
-I'm sacrificing my cake.
-Davide, how cute of you!
He has no interest in baking.
He only wants to marry Ms. Kirsch.
Possible.
Awesome, Davide!
An act of heroism!
Yes!
An act of heroism!
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
Hands up! Time's up!
Yes, I think... It tastes good!
Now for the big reveal.
We will take a look at our horror cakes!
Semra, we start with you.
First, we take another look
at the original cake.
And now show us what you made!
Okay.
So...
Nailed it!
I see a... couch.
And Bernd. It looks just like him.
Very nice! In his pajama bottoms.
And when your zombie saw grumpy Bernd,
it fainted.
I like that a lot.
Thank you.
Yes, sure, the screen is broken.
You didn't roll out
the shortcrust pastry evenly
and you didn't bake it properly.
That's why it breaks.
Unfortunately, that's a fact.
I think it's likable
and a small disaster, but still cute.
Thank you.
On to the next station.
Davide!
Show us your remake!
Nailed it!
What should I say about the vomit?
Davide.
I see two zombies,
watching a zombie movie.
-Yeah.
-Something close to home.
Yes, exactly.
I really like
-that you have made something edible.
-Right.
Your rice crispy mass is stuck
to the outside of a chunk of...
fondant, I think.
The monster has been turned inside out.
Exactly.
You have one thing going for you.
You stick to the theme.
But just like a horror movie,
this gives me nightmares.
-Right.
-And it has an effect.
Thank you.
And on we go!
Hello, Rosanna!
Show us your piece of horror!
It was holding up until now. I am afraid
the screen will break at any second.
Davide, be the hero again!
-I'd love to!
-Come!
Nailed...
it!
Yes...
So...
Yes.
It's something between...
Dracula, losing his teeth,
and something in love.
The back of the 3D screen
has broken open.
Again, the shortcrust was done too fluffy
and probably worked on
when it was still warm.
That is a very reduced version
of the original.
But I have witnessed your pizzazz
and it is charming on its own.
Speaking like a character
straight from a horror movie:
"I want to see the insides!"
Get out your knives and cut us a piece.
We want to try!
Will it taste good
or will it make us puke?
I will win because my artwork
is the most memorable.
Also, the cake tastes very good.
Bernd can't wait.
Semra,
I find it really hard to stop eating.
I like it a lot.
I think the buttercream is too sweet.
There's too much icing sugar in there.
I really like your shortcrust pastry.
It's really crispy, crunchy, and crumbly.
I have to say, you really nailed it.
Thank you.
I think the base is very tasty.
I agree with you on the buttercream.
But overall, it's really well done.
-Thank you.
-On to the next horror.
Come on guys, dig in! Be brave!
Cola flavored jelly worms.
Are you serious?
Your sponge cake is tasteless.
The shortcrust pastry
feels like dust on my tongue.
Sorry.
All good. Thanks.
I was very surprised. I ate it and...
nothing.
It tastes exactly like what it looks like.
But thank you very much.
On to the next trick!
Rosanna.
Your cake tastes very good
through the buttercream.
The sour note in there
is an acquired taste,
but I like it.
You really nailed the sponge cake.
I think the lime buttercream
makes it very refreshing.
I understand why you guys
like the sour note in the cream.
I think it's nice
for the first and second bites.
If I were to eat a whole piece,
that would be too much.
And now for the great reveal!
Who made the spookiest cake
and wins 5,000 euros
and the Nailed It! trophy?
Robert, are you ready
to rain down the money Hollywood-style?
-Absolutely.
-Okay, Bernd.
Please tell us... Who won?
The winning cake is the one
that tasted the best.
And the baker is...
Semra!
Congratulations, sweetie!
And you also get some money
and the trophy.
I'll take this home, to Istanbul.
Everyone will be so happy.
Davide, come here!
I am really sorry!
You almost poisoned me!
I'll give you my number and then, please,
give Angelina my number.
-Group selfie!
-Bye-bye!
-Hello!
-Selfie!
Selfie!
Hold on to your seats
because today, it's getting spooky.
It's time for Nailed It! Germany.
In this show, three amateur bakers
try to bake great cakes and pastries,
and fail most of the time.
One of them can win 5,000 euros.
And today's theme is Going To the Movies.
The man next to me
is just a little scary.
It's the Lord of the Cake Rings,
Bernd Siefert!
Today's guest judge is very experienced,
at least, when it comes to movies.
He is one of the most famous
movie critics, Robert Hoffmann.
Hello.
And, of course, every good movie
has main actors.
Here are our contestants!
My name is Rosanna
and I am 18 years old.
I'm from Falkensee
and currently, I am still in school.
I use most of my downtime to exercise.
I love doing gymnastics.
In the kitchen, I'm rather chaotic.
I try to keep everything in order,
but that doesn't always work out.
So...
I am here today
because a lot of my friends
have criticized my baking abilities.
But I want to prove
that I can really do this.
And here is the masterpiece.
My name is Davide, I am 43 years old.
Ciao!
Today, we are baking a cake!
I've been a head chef for 20 years now.
As head chef...
That sounds hard!
...I have almost nothing to do
with baking.
This looks like soup,
not like buttercream.
But... I think it's fun.
This car was in an accident.
I will win today,
I am almost certain.
I will bake my cake
with love, amore, and passion.
My name is Semra, I'm 31 years old
and I'm from Istanbul.
I miss my family here in Germany a lot.
My mom taught me how to bake
and her great-grandma taught her.
I think it runs in the family.
Too hot!
The hardest part for me
is decorating the cake.
I am not really creative.
No!
I'm not really good at fine tuning.
Yes, the egg just dropped down
out of nowhere.
I will win
because my cake will taste the best.
Welcome, sweeties.
Semra, Davide and Rosanna.
Today it's all about performance
that could be straight out of a movie.
Our first round is Baker's Choice.
We'll show you three of the most
bloodthirsty movie characters of all times.
Open the gate!
We have three scary animals that played
the lead role in movie classics
as cake pops.
The great white shark!
The kind that will pull you
under the water
on your next beach vacation.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Scientists brought him back to life
and set him free in our midst.
And the most scary gorilla of all times!
But we won't make it easy for you.
We also want an XXL cupcake
with decoration that matches the theme.
It's your choice!
Choose now or I will devour you.
Semra, why did you choose the dinosaur?
I love dinosaurs.
My daughter always draws them.
This one looked rather nice.
That's why I chose it.
Bernd, how can they show us a blockbuster
and not just some blurry home movie?
The secret of cake pops is in the texture.
If it's wrong,
the result will be horrific.
You have 45 minutes,
and time is already ticking.
I would hurry up! Go!
Ah, glasses.
Sugar.
I will try to stick to the recipe,
but that doesn't always work.
I need sugar!
-Bernd!
-Yes.
How can they beat those cake pop monsters
without being beaten by them first?
Actually, it is simple.
Bake the dough for the cupcakes.
Mix cake with buttercream
for the cake pops.
Then shape the mixture,
put it on a stick and let it set.
Decorate the cupcakes
with buttercream and fondant.
Cover the cake pops with candy melts
and let that set.
And then you can breathe some life
into the animals with fondant.
Gotcha.
Oil...
Oil! Where is my oil?
Oil?
Oil!
I found the oil.
I tried to use everything that I had to
for the batter.
Cake mix. Okay.
Cool.
Where are you going?
Sugar...
Hey, what's up?
Cake mix. We keep going!
And she is running.
She has the longest way to the pantry.
She jumps like a young deer.
I liked my position at the very back,
in comparison to the others.
I have very long legs
that I put to good use.
I'm going to get the muffin mold first.
-She's running back and forth, isn't she?
-Jump.
I'm running back.
The way I run was shaped
through track and field run.
I was a track runner for many years.
Now what?
I'm baking something now.
I'm making something. Anything.
Davide works as a chef.
He didn't measure the oil.
Is a chef better at baking cakes,
or is a confectioner better at cooking?
A confectioner
is used to working accurately.
Chefs, it's all by rule of thumb.
I'm really confused right now.
But I don't know why.
I'll get there.
Sounds like surgeon compared to GP.
Robert, how did you become a movie critic?
I used to be an actor
and that's when YouTube came to Germany.
I started making videos
talking about movies,
and just never stopped.
So you are a real movie geek.
Geek used to be a word
that described
some lonely, pimply, fat guy,
sitting in a corner.
But today, geeks rule the world.
What is your favorite scary movie?
Favorite horror movie?
Yes!
I'm living it right now.
Semra used a whole block of butter.
She has no idea what she's doing.
The butter is too hard.
Now, I have to put this in there.
I can't mix this manually.
I think I was born with my baking skills.
More or less.
I hope this works.
I watched my great-grandma
and later my mother.
This is disgustingly green.
I think it's going to be a slime monster.
The right thing for today.
There she goes!
She's so relaxed.
I'm gonna go
and see what's happening there.
I will try to bake now.
When I'm done, I will...
I will do what I'm best at:
flirting with women.
-Davide, hello.
-Hi.
He's taking off his glasses.
I'm trying to bake something now. Yes.
But I can stand here and watch.
Is your cupcake in the oven yet?
Okay.
-One, two, three, four! Wow!
-Alright.
Angelina made me absolutely--
She distracted me.
But you know
that you also have to make the shark?
Shark?
Yes.
That's how it is.
-I'll do my best.
-Yes. "He always tried very hard."
-You know?
-How much time?
-Not a lot.
-Okay.
She absolutely confused me.
I saw Angelina...
And then I could only think of Angelina,
not of the cake or the cake pop...
not of the buttercream...
Don't take so much.
Less.
-Too much?
-Yes!
BY THE WAY... CAKE POP BATTER
IS 2/3 CAKE AND 1/3 BUTTERCREAM
Davide took the entire buttercream
for his cake pop.
He has no buttercream left
for his XXL cupcake.
Damn!
I take a little more.
Can't hurt.
Unbelievable.
Hurry up, sweeties.
You only have 15 minutes left.
I won't make it.
-Sorry!
-Yes?
Buttercream is butter and...
And?
-Icing sugar? No idea.
-Icing sugar? No.
I don't know. I really have no clue.
Semra!
Yes?
Buttercream.
-What?
-How do I make buttercream?
-Butter and...
-It's in the recipe.
Butter, cream cheese, and icing sugar.
Mix in equal proportions.
Davide realized
that he needs more buttercream.
He has to make a second batch.
Keep calm!
Okay. Now.
Taste test.
Yummy!
Very yummy.
It tastes like... blue!
Alright.
I have decorated cakes
with candy melts,
but never cake pops.
I always use cream cheese.
This is too much.
I just need a little bit.
Semra put the candy melt
into the cake pop batter.
That could get really hard.
It is important
to cover pops with melted candy melts
and then let them set.
I am not sure
if the result is something
that we want to eat.
He'll bite on granite.
I'll wrap that around my ape.
They're decorating already?
Everybody is starting
to play around with fondant.
And they really should get going.
How will I make this figure?
RECIPE MONSTER CAKE POPS
4. FORM CAKE POP MONSTER
-What is that?
-No...
I'm good at the art of decorating.
I'm really good.
I'm building a shark now.
It looks like maybe calzone or cannoli.
As Italian...
I would have rather made some pasta
and not a fish.
Disaster.
A plate or something?
You have five minutes left!
Now I have to look after my frosting.
It is congealed.
Because the butter was too cold.
Oh no. The frosting is not good.
The piping bag of horror.
When my frosting was more like a soup,
I thought: "Okay, that was it for today."
Oh no.
ROSANNA
READY FOR THE FINAL SPRINT
Oh dear! That looks like...
This one broke apart. I'll take this one.
It's a splatter film.
I'll cut this here.
Like this.
One minute left!
Getting down to the wire!
This doesn't hold.
Don't steal my popcorn!
Oh no. That is too long.
Five!
Four! Three!
Two!
One!
Hands up! Time's up!
-Davide, perfectly done.
-Davide, what did you do?
Oh no!
You wanted your cake crunchy, didn't you?
Semra, we'll start with you.
You chose the T-Rex.
Now show us your monstrous monster.
Okay.
Nailed it!
He lives on a volcano.
And there was an eruption
and melted everything.
I think your T-Rex is really cute.
But everything else is rather runny.
A lot of the details melted away.
I think it's actually really well done,
I gotta say.
The only pity is that
with the cupcake on the bottom
and the cake pop on top,
the cake pop should be on a stick.
There probably is a stick
somewhere in there,
but I have to be able to get to it.
It slid in.
It looks like you left your model outside
on a hot summer's day.
Then we get this result.
But it is really cute.
I'm interested to see how it tastes.
Alright, then we'll try a bite, yes?
Look, here is the stick.
Cutting directly on the table. Rough!
Unfortunately, the cake pop is a rock.
Is it possible that you poured
candy melts in there?
Yes, the recipe said so.
Yes, but on the outside.
The outside...
Semra, I gotta say, your cream...
Yes, I like it a lot, Bernd. Stop it.
I like that it's a bit mushy.
Semra, first of all, thank you.
We'll go to the next creature.
Davide.
You chose the great white shark.
Now show us your... battlefield.
Nailed it!
"Battlefield" was just a guess,
but turns out, I was right.
I see the insides of a whale there.
With shards of glass.
At least you have a wooden stick
for your cake pop.
That is really...
awesome.
Everyone knows the scene in Free Willy
where he jumps.
I think if he hadn't make it, then...
That's what it looks like.
But I hope it tastes good.
Davide, I'm really sorry to say this,
but the glass shards make it impossible
for us to taste it.
On our way to the next creature,
so we can recover from this sight.
-Rosanna!
-Yes.
You chose the scary ape.
And now show us your masterpiece.
Nailed it!
This is obviously a work of art.
On the bottom we see the city.
And my ape wants to leave the city
to climb on his mountain.
And your skyscraper
has already left, too.
-The ape tore it down.
-Yes.
You made a cupcake.
I see popcorn.
But this is not a cake pop
because a cake pop comes on a stick.
-Yes...
-On the bottom we have dough,
on the top we have
something gray and bloody.
But do you find it scary?
-The theme is horror movies.
-Absolutely.
That is one possible interpretation.
And I'm excited to try it.
But it actually looks really good.
So...
-It tastes better than it looks
-Yay!
-Thank God!
-Really yummy.
The buttercream is really yummy,
the sponge cake...
The dough of your cupcake
is really nice and fluffy.
Together they taste really good.
My little stars, come together.
Now it's getting interesting!
Bernd, please give your laudatory speech.
Who won?
The look of everything was
really horrific,
but we appreciate inner values.
That's why the winner is... Rosanna!
Congratulations, Rosanna!
Robert, what does Rosanna get?
A brand-new popcorn machine!
And on top of that,
you get our golden baker's hat!
Oh my God.
Beautiful.
A Star is born.
I have won the first round.
Of course I feel super good.
And I'm really happy.
This was only a short film.
Now, we move on to the blockbuster.
We are in the final round
with the scary name...
Nailed It or Failed It!
Sweeties, spot on, open the gate!
Welcome to our zombie cinema!
Cake isn't only sweet. It can also be used
to make something spooky.
This is a sweet horror cinema.
The screen is a cookie,
under the floor paneling is cake,
and the monster
is made of rice crispy mass.
Davide!
You had such a hard time
in the first round
and that's why you get the SOS joker.
If you activate it,
"Walking Bernd" will come to you...
and help you for exactly three minutes.
And don't forget,
the winner gets 5,000 euros
as the baking award.
-And I'm gonna say: "Action!"
-Go!
Let's see what I need.
Batter? A batter,
a base...
In the end, the taste counts.
I will do my own thing.
I will try to improve the recipe
to make it really tasty and not too sweet.
I want to convince the judges
with the taste of the cake.
We could use some film score.
-Film score?
-Yes, in the background.
With a slow build.
Bernd, explain.
How does the zombie cinema work?
It's not that hard.
The base of the cinema is a cake.
For the screen and the chairs,
we make shortcrust pastry and roll it out.
Cut the screen and the chairs.
The screen should be pricked before baking
to avoid blisters.
It will also keep it from breaking easily.
Bake until golden brown.
For the zombie head, mix rice crispies
with melted marshmallows,
then form.
Now, all the parts are done
and can be covered with fondant,
put together, and decorated.
Please don't forget the audience.
Yes, but that doesn't sound easy, does it?
I'm reading it,
but I will use my own recipe
for the cake.
I put butter in the batter.
It says oil, but I use butter.
This recipe is from my great-grandma.
We'll see what we get.
In the second round,
I want to try harder.
In the beginning,
this was only fun for me.
-I don't see a lot of blood...
-He's very quiet.
Davide! Hurry up!
-Faster!
-Yes!
-Go!
-What? I am hurrying up!
Oh no, what was that?
-Mamma mia!
-That was mean of you!
That was too fast.
Will it be better this time?
-I hope so.
-Yes. Me, too.
Now I add some vanilla.
I had an organized start.
Now I add a drop of this.
But just a little because... I've no idea.
I'm pretty good at forgetting ingredients.
And now the batter goes back in here.
No! Stop!
Lime zest.
What I'm doing right now
calms me down.
It's relaxing
because I don't have to run around.
Why can't I use lime juice?
Why is lime zest better?
The zest carries the flavor.
The juice is just sour.
-Alright!
-Okay.
RECIPE ZOMBIE CAKE
2. MAKE SHORTCRUST PASTRY FOR SCREEN
Look at Davide.
He's killing the machine.
It's a no-go to try and make
shortcrust pastry with a whisk.
For one, it's killing the machine,
and second...
I hear her cry.
...the batter gets foamy.
Which means it can get runny later on.
I'm getting a bit worried.
The batter didn't turn out
like I wanted it.
Yes, but now I'm getting help.
-SOS!
-I knew it.
I knew it! Davide!
-Please!
-What happened?
-What happened?
-I want...
-shortcrust pastry.
-Yes, okay.
But I got this.
-That is too soft.
-Yes.
You have to wrap it in foil.
Roll it out very thin
and put it in the blast chiller.
That cools it down quickly.
He only talked the entire time.
Cool down.
Not freeze.
I understood only half of it.
You have to see,
maybe back there or here...
I had hoped he would talk
about Angelina...
but he only talked about the cake. Yes.
Bernd, you're back already.
And?
We will have to work on your performance.
I spotted the tinfoil.
Yes, I really fought
with everything I had.
I took stuff from the others.
But you have to look at it this way:
I had the longest way
and didn't want to run to the pantry
all the time.
It's enough when one of us goes.
I'll cut this to size later.
Now, I make the...
Whatchamacallit?
The...
frosting!
I don't know what frosting is.
I've never made that.
Alright, buttercream!
Okay, it's a buttercream.
Like this. Like...
This... Buttercream.
The frosting didn't go so well
in the first round.
That's why I really want to try
to make it better this time.
The ingredients
didn't have the right temperature
and the whole thing just became a soup.
The batter is almost done.
Now, I put it in the fridge.
She's really into it now.
She is really, um...
Showing teeth now. She's in it to win it.
Well, it does look good.
Attention.
You have one hour left.
And then we close the gates.
Okay, was that not hectic enough?
You have one hour left!
Hello! Davide!
Faster, Davide!
Yes!
This thing is rad, I'll take it home.
Hello, Bernd.
Butter.
I make a dough
and then I can build humans.
Davide puts way too much butter
into the marshmallows.
8oz...
Utter chaos.
No, bollocks.
Instead of 1oz...
I used 8oz of butter.
It was my mistake.
The butter is swimming in there.
It is a disaster.
He's making a soup,
that's what he's doing.
Now I need rice... crispy.
Too small.
It's not good.
I'm not looking forward to eating
what Davide is making.
This is way too hot,
but I think I can touch it.
Yes.
Have I ever told you that my kids say
I have iron hands
because I can touch the hottest stuff
in the world?
-No.
-That's how it is.
-Should we clap now?
-Yes.
Thanks.
Thank you.
This is getting interesting.
It looks pretty.
-Right?
-Yes.
Really good.
-Where is she going?
-I don't know what she's doing.
She has the face in her hand. Careful!
She jumps like a young deer.
This is becoming the head of the monster.
Somehow. I have to... something.
I'll try. I can't do anything else.
This is not A Nightmare on Elm Street,
this is A Nightmare on Baker Street.
I'll put the crispy on the cake now.
Then I'll color them.
The monster, the face,
I did that with risotto.
Something weird is brewing back there.
And this was the result.
Okay, five minutes until the showdown!
RECIPE ZOMBIE CAKE
5. DECORATE AND PUT TOGETHER
No! I have...
-Am I allowed to put it back?
-Oh no!
Ten-second rule. It's still good!
-Really?
-No! Toss it!
Man!
-Semra has put the screen up.
-Yes, it's tilting forwards.
Oh no. Please, no.
Or a cucumber? I'll just try it.
-Cucumber.
-Why is she putting a cucumber behind it?
What is that supposed to be?
I have to...
build up a wall.
Oh God, what a nail-biter!
I don't think so. Disaster is in the air.
Guys, one minute!
-The last minute!
-Just one minute!
Ros... Oh!
Rosanna...
just mashes everything together.
I'd really like to help.
Hold that!
I'll grab something.
-I'm sacrificing my cake.
-Davide, how cute of you!
He has no interest in baking.
He only wants to marry Ms. Kirsch.
Possible.
Awesome, Davide!
An act of heroism!
Yes!
An act of heroism!
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
Hands up! Time's up!
Yes, I think... It tastes good!
Now for the big reveal.
We will take a look at our horror cakes!
Semra, we start with you.
First, we take another look
at the original cake.
And now show us what you made!
Okay.
So...
Nailed it!
I see a... couch.
And Bernd. It looks just like him.
Very nice! In his pajama bottoms.
And when your zombie saw grumpy Bernd,
it fainted.
I like that a lot.
Thank you.
Yes, sure, the screen is broken.
You didn't roll out
the shortcrust pastry evenly
and you didn't bake it properly.
That's why it breaks.
Unfortunately, that's a fact.
I think it's likable
and a small disaster, but still cute.
Thank you.
On to the next station.
Davide!
Show us your remake!
Nailed it!
What should I say about the vomit?
Davide.
I see two zombies,
watching a zombie movie.
-Yeah.
-Something close to home.
Yes, exactly.
I really like
-that you have made something edible.
-Right.
Your rice crispy mass is stuck
to the outside of a chunk of...
fondant, I think.
The monster has been turned inside out.
Exactly.
You have one thing going for you.
You stick to the theme.
But just like a horror movie,
this gives me nightmares.
-Right.
-And it has an effect.
Thank you.
And on we go!
Hello, Rosanna!
Show us your piece of horror!
It was holding up until now. I am afraid
the screen will break at any second.
Davide, be the hero again!
-I'd love to!
-Come!
Nailed...
it!
Yes...
So...
Yes.
It's something between...
Dracula, losing his teeth,
and something in love.
The back of the 3D screen
has broken open.
Again, the shortcrust was done too fluffy
and probably worked on
when it was still warm.
That is a very reduced version
of the original.
But I have witnessed your pizzazz
and it is charming on its own.
Speaking like a character
straight from a horror movie:
"I want to see the insides!"
Get out your knives and cut us a piece.
We want to try!
Will it taste good
or will it make us puke?
I will win because my artwork
is the most memorable.
Also, the cake tastes very good.
Bernd can't wait.
Semra,
I find it really hard to stop eating.
I like it a lot.
I think the buttercream is too sweet.
There's too much icing sugar in there.
I really like your shortcrust pastry.
It's really crispy, crunchy, and crumbly.
I have to say, you really nailed it.
Thank you.
I think the base is very tasty.
I agree with you on the buttercream.
But overall, it's really well done.
-Thank you.
-On to the next horror.
Come on guys, dig in! Be brave!
Cola flavored jelly worms.
Are you serious?
Your sponge cake is tasteless.
The shortcrust pastry
feels like dust on my tongue.
Sorry.
All good. Thanks.
I was very surprised. I ate it and...
nothing.
It tastes exactly like what it looks like.
But thank you very much.
On to the next trick!
Rosanna.
Your cake tastes very good
through the buttercream.
The sour note in there
is an acquired taste,
but I like it.
You really nailed the sponge cake.
I think the lime buttercream
makes it very refreshing.
I understand why you guys
like the sour note in the cream.
I think it's nice
for the first and second bites.
If I were to eat a whole piece,
that would be too much.
And now for the great reveal!
Who made the spookiest cake
and wins 5,000 euros
and the Nailed It! trophy?
Robert, are you ready
to rain down the money Hollywood-style?
-Absolutely.
-Okay, Bernd.
Please tell us... Who won?
The winning cake is the one
that tasted the best.
And the baker is...
Semra!
Congratulations, sweetie!
And you also get some money
and the trophy.
I'll take this home, to Istanbul.
Everyone will be so happy.
Davide, come here!
I am really sorry!
You almost poisoned me!
I'll give you my number and then, please,
give Angelina my number.
-Group selfie!
-Bye-bye!
-Hello!
-Selfie!
Selfie!
