Nailed It! Holiday! (2018–2019): Season 1, Episode 2 - Winter Blunderland - full transcript

Ooh, brrr! Baby, it's cold outside.

So snuggle up to your boo
and get a cup of hot chocolate,

because we’re about to get all
winter wonderlanded

on another holiday episode of Nailed It!

The baking competition show
where we ask someone to make this...

but it doesn’t quite get there.

I’m your host, Nicole Byer.

Behind me are two people
who I’ll tell you about in just a minute.

Now, today three amateur bakers
will attempt to re-create

some gorgeous wintry confections

to compete to win $10,000!



Let’s meet our bakers. Mmm.

[clang]

My name is Brian Cookstra.
I'm from New York City.

I’m always passionate about whatever I do,

whether it’s doing Iron Mans,
and doing marathons,

or it’s in the kitchen.

-He gets to try the first one.
-God, I don’t want to eat that.

I want to be a better baker because

baking is my way of showing people
how much I care about them.

I can convey that love and that joy
and that happiness to other people.

I am Lily Orn from Baltimore, Maryland,
and I’m stoked to be on Nailed It!

because Jacques is the most
adorable person.

I mean, first of all,
he makes amazing chocolate.

Second of all, he’s French,
and you’re like,



"I don’t know what you’re saying,
but I really love you."

I’m Tanya Eby.
I’m from Grand Rapids, Michigan,

and I’m an audio book narrator.

I am... super awkward.

I’m not good talking to people,

which is why I work in my basement
all by myself.

Baking, it’s a good time for me to relax.

Smells... moist.

'Cause I'm not only awkward,
I have lots of anxiety,

but I have passion.

Lots of passion.

Today we are diving headfirst into
a couple of wintry dessert challenges.

Standing next to me as always,

our head judge, the ice prince
of chocolat,

-Jacques Torres!
-Bonjour, everyone.

Oh, my God.

When can I get near him?

Aah! You’re so cute!

This is the best moment of my life.
Thank you so much.

I love you.

Am I creeping you out?

-[Lily laughing] He's so cute!
-[Nicole laughing] That's so sweet.

[Jacques] She’s adorable.

And this is Justin Willman,
not only a talented magician,

but he also hosted another baking show
that I am not going to mention.

But it does rhyme with
"schmuck shmake shmores."

You guys know what that is?

Whatever.

-It wasn't as big of a hit as Nailed It!
-[Nicole] Yes. -I'm doing well.
-"Shmailed it." [laughs]

[Nicole] Okay, guys, our first round
is called Baker’s Choice.

If you love to cuddle up
and eat your feelings,

you'll be a fan of these!

Winter animal donuts!

[laughter]

These succulent
little winter animal donuts

and their baby donut holes
are totes delicious and totally adorable.

We have walruses, penguins
and polar bears, oh my!

Each of our winter duos
are perfectly fried donuts

coated in beautiful chocolate glaze

and finished with fondant detailing
to create their adorable little faces.

When I say go, y’all will run up

and grab your favorite
little winter animal to make.

Okay? Do you understand?

Get it! Go, go!
Go get your winter animals!

-For a runner, you are slow.
-[Brian] I just did a race.

-He's chivalrous.
-[Brian] I think I got the cutest one.

-So I'm fine being the slowest one.
-[Nicole laughs]

Okay, you’ve got 30 minutes on the clock!

It’s time to get the snow on the road!
Do it!

"Quarter cup unsalted butter, melted."

"Butter, milk..." Oh, coating chocolate.

Jacques, what do these people need to do
to get this right?

[Jacques] So, you begin by
mixing together the dough.

Once your dough is ready, press it out,

cut the outside of the donuts,

and with a smaller cutter,
you’re going to cut the little hole.

Place your doughnuts into the oil.

When they are nice golden-brown,

dip one side in melted chocolates,

then use modeling chocolates
and fondant

to add detail to your donuts
to make them into character.

So it's not a very,
very complicated project,

but you cannot waste any time.

Two eggs.

I don’t want salmonella. I don’t want
anybody else to get salmonella.

When I’m baking,
my biggest distraction is cleanliness.

It'll drive me insane.

Organize just a tiny bit.

I don’t have four hours,
like I normally do at home to do this,

but I just can’t handle the mess.

I cannot stand messes.

All right.

So, my technique is to mix this up
until something magical happens,

which should hopefully be a soft dough.

I really want to make something
that's, uh,

kick-ass awesome.

But when I see the example of the walrus,

it strikes me as just too perfect.

Like, like there's no walrus
that is that perfect.

So I'm gonna go for making
an actual walrus.

How fast should this go?

Which would be round
and lumpy and very scary,

but something that’s impressive.

The dough.

And it's super, super sticky,
so I don't know about that.

Oh. Okay, here we go.

And other people are
already mixing stuff,

so, I'm... stressing.

I'm hoping I nail it with what I bake.

I'm also hoping that I nail it
with what I wear on the show.

Whenever I have a big race,

I can be totally self-confident

wearing rainbow ridiculous spandex,
but when I'm in the kitchen

and the pressure is on,
and I need to do something,

I will second-guess myself.

And I've never made a donut.

I've never used a fryer before.
I am terrified.

I need to just own it
like I own the rainbow spandex.

"Until a smooth dough forms." Okay.

Boy, they are really busy out there.

Justin, please do a trick.
Please. I beg of you.

I couldn’t. I don’t want
to steal your thunder, you know.

-Justin! Justin! Justin!
-[Nicole] Please.

I don’t have anything on me,
except this deck of cards right here.

-I guess I--
-Oh, what a dream. A dream!

The first trick has begun. Okay. Ha!

-Ooh, that’s fun, right?
-Yes! -Ah!
-Ooh, right?

-[Justin coughs]
-No!

It's fun, right?

It’s not sanitary.

-This is scary to me.
-Is it really scary to you?

-Oh, my God!
-I love magic.

[Brian sighs] What do I use to cut?

Um, just a knife, right?

Okay.

[Tanya]
I'm gonna try the little one first.

Okay. This is, like,
future beautifulness right here.

[Tanya] Oh, my God. It’s frying.

I think Tanya is already
in the deep fryer.

She's moving! It’s bubbling.
That’s something that’s good.

[Jacques] They really have to be careful.

Cook too long, and the donuts will be dry.

"Fry these until you’re done"?
But there’s... How long does that mean?

Fry until done.
That’s a good time to stop.

Fry until done.

All right.

I'm gonna... organize just a tiny bit.

-You guys have 20 minutes left!
-Oh, my God, already?

Wow.

I'm just going for it.
That looks golden-brown.

[Jacques] Brian's donuts look good.
The other two?

-Maybe too long in the oil.
-Okay.

[Tanya] Doesn't seem right.

That's maybe baked too much.

Okay.

So, it looks like these are
cooked through.

My one donut is a little demented-looking,

but we’ll cover that up.

[Tanya] That looks good.

I chose dark chocolate
because dark chocolate is amazing.

So, all right.

Ah.

[chuckles]

I'm gonna have a donut.

Just the front is dipped,
so I’m going to go...

Okay.

I am going to put some milk in here,
so that it melts better in the microwave.

-That's bad, right?
-That's bad, yes.

[Jacques] Coating chocolate doesn’t need
anything else.

If you put milk, then the chocolates
aren't going to come hard.

It’s a little liquidy,
so I probably shouldn’t have done that.

Whose idea was fondant? It's stupid.

[chcukles] Oh, my God!

Okay, so I need two ears
for each of them.

I need two little ball eyes
for each of them.

Jacques, fondant looks difficult.

Fondant is actually a little bit
like Play-Doh,

-so it’s not too difficult.
-Tastes the same, too, I've noticed.

[chuckles]

[Lily] Tiny little pupil.

Wow, that is terrifying.

I don’t know how to do the face,
so it’s got this face.

[Jacques] Oh.

That walrus!

Tanya should have washed her hands.

[Tanya] Mine has a ball-shaped growth
on its face.

Looks like a mustache.

Five minutes!

Oh, man. That feels good.

Five! F-I-F-E.

Five minutes left!

I am assembling

eyeballs on top,

ears...

I need more fondant.

Oh, I missed the scarf
and that's the cutest part.

He's very intriguing.
Magicians are intriguing.

They do things I don’t understand.

-I think I've got a trick you'll enjoy.
-[Jacques] Okay.

Watch, it's the mystery
of the floating silver orb.

Look at that. It floats.

-Ha!
-[Justin] That's fun, right?

So it's a soup ladle. You shove it up
your sleeve. It's fun, right?

[Jacques] Then it looks
like it's floating. You're right!

I'm really screwed on time right now.
I need to start putting stuff onto it,

and I'm really sorry, baby penguins,
for ruining you.

So, Lily over here is...
having a conversation with her food.

Is that the sign of a need for therapy
or need for something--

-[Jacques] It's therapy.
-Some lessons.

A little... a little cray-cray.

Ninety seconds, guys!

-[Brian] Behind you!
-[Tanya] Okay, okay.

[spritzes]

[Tanya] Oh, my God.

Four beautiful animals.

[Brian] Aah! His eyeball fell out!

[Nicole, Jacques and Justin]
Five, four, three, two, one!

You're done.

You're done!

-I did it.
-You did it.

Oh, my God, you guys.

Tanya, let's take a look at what you
were trying to make.

And let's see what you did.

-[Tanya] Nailed it.
-[Nicole chuckles]

-[enunciating] I don't mean to laugh.
-[Jacques laughs]

[Nicole] Well? Hey.

The walruses that you were trying
to make were brown.

These are brown.
Jacques, what do you think?

I think that you didn’t completely
clean your hands

when you handled the fondant.
But I love his blue eyes.

Well, I see it as a commentary
about man-made climate change.

Rising sea levels.

And this is the devastation
we have to

look forward to if we ignore it.

[Nicole] Let's do it, let's eat it.

Oh, boy.

[Jacques] Oh, my God.
You kill it!

Good, right?

-[Nicole] We’re still chewing.
-If I didn’t know it was a donut,

-I'd think it's a...
-[Nicole] A protein bar?

Protein bar. And they don't taste good.

But they feel healthy.

I find it a little bit dry.

You might put it a little bit
too long into the oil.

The flavor is not bad.

And the chocolate was, like, not sweet,

but it’s not your fault,
you didn’t make it.

It's dark chocolate.

Oh, it was your fault.

-You should've used milk chocolate.
-[Tanya] Oh, no.

-Thank you.
-[Nicole] Thank you.

All right, moving on.

Hello, Brian.

Let’s just remember
what you were trying to make.

And let’s see what you made!

Nailed it!
[laughs]

-I mean, yeah!
-[Justin] That's pretty good.

-[Justin] This must be bears.
-[Nicole] But they're dogs.

We have a big dog, and then...

a lump of snow... or something.

I don't know what that little guy is.

[Justin] I think they were supposed
to have ears.

[Nicole] Jacques?

I think that you get the color right.
It’s white.

-[Justin laughs]
-[Nicole chuckles]

I’m anxious to taste it,
to see what’s going on.

I see it as a commentary on man-made
climate change.

-Hmm-hmm.
-[laughter]

I’m impressed.
I wouldn’t have known it was a dog if...

people hadn’t told me.

[Nicole] Let’s do it. Let’s taste it.

-Hey!
-[Jacques] Okay.

[Nicole] Jacques?

-Mm-mm-mm.
-[Nicole] Whoo!

It’s not overbaked. The glaze bring
a little bit of sweetness to it.

I... I like the flavor.

-Justin?
-I'm a fan. Tastes like a donut.

-No offense.
-[Nicole] I like the chocolate.

I was really pleased. What a dream!  Bye!

[laughter]

♪ Lily! ♪

Let's see what you were trying to make.

And let's see what you made!

Nailed it!

-[Justin] All right.
-[chuckles] You...

[Nicole] One of your donuts is, like,
not black.

But then, like, you were trying
to wrap him in the black.

-[Lily] Yeah.
-Was it a question of time?

So I was busy cleaning and trying
to put this beautiful thing together.

And then I just ended up rushing
and just focused on the cleaning.

Justin, tell us about global warming.

Maybe Jacques can do, like,
a Morgan Freeman narration

of what we see here.

[in Morgan Freeman's voice]
Now you see a little penguin

who is waddling around.

He does not look well.

The other one looks just as bad.

That was good.
I thought he was here.

[normal voice]
Thank you. Should we eat these?

[Jacques] We are destroying it.

[Justin] Mmm.

That's a good sign.

-Is it?
-I don't know. Is it?

Again, you know, it’s a little bit
too long into the oil.

The outside become
a little bit too crunchy,

and the inside become a little bit drier.

It's a bagel.
This is a bagel.

[Nicole laughs hysterically]

[Justin] This is totally a bagel.

-It's a "dogel."
-[Justin] It's a do--

-[Lily] A dogel.
-Dogel?

[Lily] A donut bagel.
Yeah. What up, guys?

Dogel. This is new. Whoa!

-You'll make millions!
-Yes, yes. That's me, right there.

-[Nicole] A dogel?
-Yeah. Okay, everyone.

Please, come down.

Lily, you stay. They come to you.

Oh, I like that!

Jacques?

The winner of the Baker's Choice
challenge is...

-Brian!
-[cheers and applause]

Brian, the flavor and the taste
is what saved you.

-Thank you!
-Justin, tell him what he's won!

Oh, Brian, you’ll be baking all night,
into the next morning,

with this 263-piece baking set!

-Wow, what an odd number of pieces.
-[Lily laughs]

[Nicole] I still don't like your haircut.
It bothers me.

It makes me sad.
I think about it constantly.

Wes? That's my light!

Are you going to be okay?

-[Nicole bleats]
-[all laugh]

There's your hat. I am shook.

All right, you guys.
I have some issues to work through,

but are you ready
for your next challenge?

-Yup.
-Great! Good!

It’s behind door number two,
which is over there! Come on! Come on!

Whoo, baby! That first round was tough.

And guess what?
It’s only gonna get tougher because

there is $10,000 on the line!

Justin, tell them what they got to nail
in this challenge

that we call Nail It Or Fail It!

This cake is going to take the competition
to all new heights.

Don't freeze up when you feast your eyes
on this.

[Justin] It's a ski vacation cake!

[Brian]
Oh, my God. It's checkered on the inside.

This mountain resort cake is stacked high

with several tiers of cake put together
in a plaid pattern.

The cakes are also specially flavored,

and we have a variety of flavoring
in the pantry.

When the cake is put together,

it’s covered with all those
little chocolate penguin skiers

and snowboarders zooming
down the mountain.

There’s, like, 50 penguins on that.

This might look hard,

but if you need help,
hit your panic button,

and I will be here to help you
for three minutes.

And, Tanya,

I’m going to give you an extra-special
freezer burn button.

When you hit the freezer burn button,

your opponents will be sent
to the snow zone,

where they are prevented from baking
for three whole minutes

while being covered in snow.

You have 90 minutes.

-What are you waiting for?
-Go, go, go!

[Nicole] Start it! Go!

"Black, red, and sheet cakes."

"And two burgundy half-sheet cakes."

I don’t know if I need this,
but I’m taking that. And this.

Lily, full-on... looting.

[Nicole] Jacques, how would you do
this cake?

So, start mixing all the dry ingredients.

You can add the butter, eggs, the milk,
and flavoring.

Then you have to divide this batter

in three, because you need
three different colors:

black, burgundy, and red.

You achieve this plaid effect

by cutting each layer into strips,

alternating the color in the layer
to form a plaid pattern.

Next, you stack your tiers
with a layer of buttercream in between.

Then you carefully frost your cake
with a thin layer of buttercream,

followed by a thicker layer
of buttercream.

And then you create skiers, snowboarders,

trees out of fondant and molding chocolate
to complete your ski resort design.

Every step of the way, you’re like,

“All you have to do it this,
and then all you have to do is that,

-and then all you have to do is this.”
-[Nicole chuckles]

[Brian] I got glitter in my butter,
so I don’t know how that’s gonna work.

I've won the Baker's Choice challenge,
but round two is gonna be more extreme.

It is a...

plaid cake in like a checkerboard pattern

which is something
that I've never done before.

In a short period of time,
that I’ve never had to bake anything

that quickly before.

[Lily] Red, black and burgundy.

I need to change my strategy a little bit.

I know that I need to focus more
on decorating and less on the cleaning.

This is not looking burgundy.

This looks like an ugly brown.

“Two cups of milk.
Flavor cake as desired.” What?

-[Jacques] Uh-oh.
-[Tanya] I think I'm panicking already.

I’m reading the recipe,
and I don’t know who wrote that recipe,

but I’m not...
I know it was in English,

but it doesn't make any sense to me.

I’m totally panicking. Panic!

-Panic button.
-That's a panic!

Get over there, Jacques.

[laughs] Oui, Tanya?

I’m confused about
“assemble all the stripes.”

-If you bake your cake...
-Yes.

-...in a different color...
-Okay.

...then you’re going to cut
each different color that you bake.

-Okay.
-Then you will reassemble them

with putting the different color to--

How do they stick together?

Put a little bit of buttercream
in between, and that's it.

And it said, “Flavor as desired.”
What does that mean?

So, you can put maybe a little bit
of orange flavor,

maybe peppermint or pistachio.

-Remember, we have to taste it. Good?
-Yes, thank you.

-Perfect. Thank you very much.
-Okay.

I'm on the right track.

He was very, very helpful.

She hit the panic button and she said,

"Which one should I use?"

Brian's using round pans.

[Brian] I don't understand how to make
a checkerboard cake.

So I'm just going to make them rings.

I'm trying to think of other ways
to do this.

The only thing that I can think

is maybe I can make a bunch of round cakes

and then cut holes in them and then
stack up the different holes

to make it look
like a bunch of bull’s eyes,

but when you cut into it,
it’ll give it that checkerboard cake.

I’m baking in rounds, and I’m not sure
that’s the right way to do it.

[Jacques] He’s in trouble.

He might end up with a plaid cake,

but this process is going
to waste a lot of time.

Oh, Lord.

[Brian] I got some cherry flavoring,
which I’m going to add to this one.

That smells real, real strong.

-[Brian] You want cherry?
-Can I have it?

-Yes.
-Thank you.

[Lily] Coconut.

-Here you go.
-Okay.

I don’t know what I’m doing,
so I’m just gonna guess.

I decide to use cherry because it’s red,

coconut, and then I chose caramel
because I thought,

“Caramel. Everyone likes caramel.”

[Tanya] Mine's pistachio,
but I've never used that before. Okay.

[Lily] One of these.

[Brian] Okay.

[Tanya] I’m gonna just bake this mofo.
Okay.

[Brian] One, two, three on top.

[Lily] Can you open this?

These are just glamour muscles.
They're not--

Use those biceps!

Yes, you did it! Thank you.

Okay, that's so nice.

Brian was helping Lily.
And I’ll help you with your hunger.

Oh!

-[Nicole] Here.
-[Jacques] Thank you.

Jacques hasn't eaten his yet.

Come here, this is healthy.

Baby!

[laughs]
Oh, Jacques!

[Tanya] Okay. I have one penguin-ish.

Let's see.

And they need eyes, and they need beaks.

How do you get eyes?

I am making penguins right now,

which is interesting because I keep
forgetting what a penguin looks like.

[Lily] Last time,
I was frantically cleaning instead of

making my penguins look pretty,

so I’m gonna try to focus on making
my penguins look a little bit cuter.

-Can I teach you a trick?
-Yes.

Okay, this is one you can do
to impress people.

-You take a bandana.
-Yes. Any old bandana?

Any old bandana. And you just tuck it
into your fist, like this.

[Nicole] Yes.

And the bandana turns into an egg.

And the bandana...

flies into the pocket!

Oh! What a dream!

-Wanna know how it works?
-Yes.

-[Nicole yelps]
-[Jacques exclaims]

-It amazed you for a second, right?
-Yes!

And if someone's behind you,
that’s when it gets a little tougher.

You actually have to take the hole,
and you have to...

-peel off the hole.
-[Nicole] Wait!

[Jacques laughing]

[Justin] That’s like
the Nailed It! version.

[Tanya] Okay.

Okay, springiness.

Come on!

Doesn’t come out. No way.

No, like that. Bang!

That’s it. It should come out.

Lining your pans with parchment paper

is a guaranteed way
to have your cake come right out.

[Lily] Come on.

-That's bad, right?
-That's bad, yes.

[Lily] Okay. You know what?
I can work with this.

[Brian]
Oh my God, those are still in there.

-Freezer burn!
-[automated voice] Yeah, baby!

[Brian] Oh, no!

-[Justin] Freezer burn! Freezer burn!
-Oh, my!

Oh, that’s not nice.

Tanya, why did you use the freezer burn?

Because his cakes were still in the oven.

-[Jacques] Oh!
-Oh! God! Yes!

Do I have any guilt about
using the freezer burn?

No.

[Brian] I'm very happy I'm wearing
athleisure right now.

Is that the penguin dance?

-What do they call that dance?
-I don't know.

[Lily] We can do one of these.

Well, I can do that.

[Tanya] My strategy now is
to cut it into fat strips.

I’m gonna have to--

Wait, wait, wait! I want to be part of it!
Wait!

I want to be under the snow! Wait! Wait!

I'm gonna regret this.

[Nicole]
Five, four, three, two, one. You're done!

-[Lily] All right, safe.
-Oh, wow.

[Brian] These are done.

-[Lily] Going to use this as my base.
-[Justin] Lily’s got Rice Krispies out.

If you put Rice Krispies
on the bottom of a cake,

you have stability.
So it’s not a bad idea.

And because her cake fell apart,
if she stacks things right,

she could add some much-needed height.

Lily, I love your style!

It's so bad!

My station is a huge mess.

I can't focus on it because
I need to focus on my cake.

I’m going to do a checkerboard
where I cut, like,

circles around like this
and then mix and match.

I definitely went the long route.

Ten minutes, guys!

Ten!

Okay. I'm just gonna...

I just need to cover it up.

I need a flag.

I’m creating a winter wonderland
with candy.

My strategy is to make
as little stuff as possible.

It's a holiday cake.

So I just need to put
sparkles and rainbows

and maybe let that be a distraction
from the actual appearance

of my poor penguins.

[Brian] I just shot myself in the foot
trying to do a checkerboard this way.

Lily and Tanya are both decorating,

and all of my cakes are out,

but I’m still trying to assemble them
into a checkerboard

as I really want to get that right.

One minute left, guys!

[Tanya] My strategy right now is
to add more candy.

[Brian] I had all these designs
for how this was gonna look real pretty.

Let’s put some of these
insane penguins on here.

[Lily] I brought this adhesive thing.

I don’t know how to use it,
but I’m just gonna tape the bottoms

of these and try to get them
to stick on here. Come on.

[Nicole, Jacques and Justin]
Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Sprinkles!

...five, four, three, two, one!
You’re done!

Oh, my God.
This is the ugliest thing ever.

Okay, Tanya.

Let’s take a look and remember
what you were trying to make,

and let’s see what you made!

[Tanya] Nailed it!

[Nicole] That's a mountain shape.
I think... I’ve seen mountains like that.

-Slow clap.
-Your eyes are red.

[laughs]
I'm getting a slow clap.

-I'm inspired.
-[Tanya] Oh, my God.

-[Justin] I feel inspired.
-That's all I ever wanted.

-Okay.
-I've never gotten slow clap for anything.

Like the '80s movies.

They have this ’80s music montage,

where someone is training for something.

Right. They’re training really hard,
and the music changes,

and they’re getting better all through
the span of, like, 15 seconds.

And then at the end of the movie,
they win the thing.

And there’s, like,
one person who stands up,

and they’re like, "That is so good."

A slow clap.

I love how the top of the cake
became a penguin.

Um, and the use of the candy,
you know, let’s say it’s very colorful,

and it’s your interpretation of the cake
that we asked you to do.

I like that you said,
“I will not make trees.

I will just take something green
and stick it up in there.”

There's an... there's an evil owl.

[ominous hooting]

-All right. We got to move on. See ya!
-[Tanya] Thank you. Okay.

All right, Brian.
Let's see what you did.

[Brian] Nailed it!

-[chuckles] Ooh.
-Oh.

[Nicole] The blue fluffs? I don't...

[Brian] Those are clouds.

Those are clouds around
the peak of the mountain.

This guy at the top claimed the mountain
on behalf of the gays.

-[Nicole] I love it!
-The penguins are adorable.

They all look like the same breed
of penguins.

None of them are evil.

-[ominous hooting]
-[Nicole cackles]

I think that you really went out
of the recipe by using round cake pans.

[Brian] I think it worked.
It just took me longer, and that was...

Maybe I should have budgeted
more time for that.

I can’t wait to taste this.
But... we got another cake to see.

See ya. Go.

Lily!

-Hey, guys.
-I have high hopes for you.

Let's see what you did.

All righty.

-Nailed it!
-[Nicole laughs]

[Lily] It’s a bunny slope.

[Nicole] Oh, yeah! There you go.

Oh, boy.

And your penguins are massive

in comparison to the mountain.

The scale of this is so far from reality.
I love it.

The red flag represents?

[Lily] I don't know.

Actually, if you take Brian’s top
of the mountain

on top of your cake,
then you have a complete mountain.

This is wild, and I like it.

-Well, thank you. It was really hard.
-You're welcome.

Do you think it will be plaid?

Oh, my God, no!

Definitely not.

-Thanks, Lily.
-Thank you.

Now it is time to taste
these amazing cake mountains.

My expectations are not very high,
but there's hope.

I am hoping that when they taste my cake,
they'll be completely blown away.

Jacques, can you please show us
Tanya's cake?

What do you think?

I've got to say

-it's not flannel.
-[Tanya laughs]

-[Jacques] Stripes.
-It's not plaid. Jacques, please.

[Jacques]
So what flavor did you put in it?

Pistachio.

Which color has the pistachio?

I don't know.

-[Jacques] Okay.
-Um...

-There's not much flavor on the cake.
-Okay.

But it's actually pretty moist.

-It's in my stomach and it feels good.
-Right.

The cake tasted really like cake.

-I'll take it.
-I'm not bothered by the fact

that it's brown and orange and green.

Because flannel comes in all colors.

-[Nicole] Well, thank you, Tanya.
-You're welcome.

All right. Brian, let's look at your cake.

The inside, it is plaid.

-[Justin] It is plaid.
-[Nicole] It is.

All right, Jacques, please.

-[Jacques] Oui, oui.
-Dig in.

[laughs]

That's not a good sign.

That cherry blew my wig back.

[loud laughter]

It was wild in my mouth.
[laughs]

-What did you think, Jacques?
-I think that...

you have true color.
You see the red? How red it is?

That means that you actually baked it
pretty well.

-[Nicole] Justin?
-I agree. Texture is great.

The cherry, though, is really like...

-Really cherry?
-Really cherry.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Brian.

Lily?

-Yeah?
-♪ Ooh, Lily ♪

So...

Sure, it could be plaid, as an abstract.
As a thought.

[Jacques] Or before the plaid is together?

[Lily] It's like deconstructed plaid.

-[Jacques] Exactly.
-Shall we?

Yeah, let's do it.

[laughs]

-[Jacques] Is it all the same flavor?
-[Lily] No. I, uh, put in some cherry.

And then I did coconut.

And then caramel.

-[Nicole] Cherry, coconut and caramel?
-I went all out.

I was like, "Oh, flavors? Great!
I'm giving every cake

a different flavor."

I don't mind the cake.
It's not overbaked, it's not dry.

But those flavors...
You have a heavy hand.

Also, there is so much flavor in it,

truly it's a taste that lingers.

Forever.

[Nicole] Mm-hmm. It's still in my mouth.

Now, we have got to pick a winner.

Wes?

Oh!

Okay. Were we interrupting
your trip to Switzerland? What is this?

So... the winner is...

Oh, no!

Is this for real?

Oh, my God!

[cheering]

Tanya!

Oh, my God!

[Nicole] Yes, Tanya! You did it!

Oh, my God!

[Nicole] Tanya!

Congratulations! Yay! You did so great!

That’s all for Nailed It!
We’re out to hit the slopes.

Stick around.
There’s another one coming.

[Jacques] Are you ready? Everybody's in?
