Nailed It! (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Ready to Wear, Ready to Eat - full transcript

Strike a pose!

It's time for Nailed It!

The baking competition show
where we ask you to make

a really ridiculous, hot cake,

and we get this sad, hot mess.

I'm your sparkly host
and aspiring cover girl, Nicole Byer.

It's time for three amateur bakers
to recreate some intricate,

fashion-inspired desserts,

competing for a chance to win $10,000!

Let's do it. Bring in the bakers!

My name's Allison Rook.



I live in Seattle, Washington,
and I own a motorcycle shop.

I do a lot of graphic design.

So if you want a super cool pin-up girl
on your motorcycle tank, I'll do that.

Right now, I just...
I have to spend all of my money

to, you know, keep my business afloat.

So, if I win this competition,

it'll be the difference
between my business having to close

or the ability to continue to flourish
and do what I love.

My name is Everard Strong.

I live in Walnut Creek, California,

with my daughter, Skyler.

She loves baking. She knows her stuff.

[Skyler] I cook better than you.

Whatever.



We were watching season one
of Nailed It, saying,

"Oh, these guys are horrible,"

and my daughter said,
"You're pretty bad, too.

You could probably be on the show."

What's the worst that's gonna happen?

Except for thousands of millions
of people laughing at me.

My name's Christian Rodriguez.

I'm from Carteret, New Jersey,
and I'm a store manager for retail.

When I'm home, I get all my ingredients,

I sit on the floor.

Maybe once it bakes, it'll look nicer.

Our kitchen space is very little,

and I feel like on the floor,
I can get a lot of things done.

I hope to prove to myself that I can make
something people are going to enjoy.

I'm gonna nail it by having something
on the plate that looks edible.

[laughs]

Welcome to Nailed It!

Today is all about fashion.

-Oh, boy.
-Okay.

Next to me, of course,
is the Coco to my Chanel, Jacques Torres.

-I feel a little bit underdressed today.
-[Nicole] You are.

And today's guest judge
is almost too perfect for this show.

He is a cake maker and fashion designer.

Please say hello to pop culture humorist,

Charles Phoenix!

Hi, you guys.

Everard, do you think
being tall is intimidating?

No, I'm more of a teddy bear.

Aw. Well, I hear you're a father.
What do you like to do with your kids?

Intimidate them.

[laughter]

Okay, bakers, it's time to "bake" it work.

Our first round is called
"Baker's Choice."

Behind door number one,
we have some stunning haute couture.

You'll be the envy of every fashionista
during New York Fashion Week

when you make these...

[camera shutters clicking]

-Oh, my God.
-[Nicole] ...high-fashion doll cakes!

Each is made from several layers of cake,

and finished off with fondant cake lace
and wafer paper.

Stunning gowns fit for the Met Gala
in your mouth.

[laughs] Awesome.

Go get your fashion queen, but be careful!

Oof.

Oh, boy.

All right, Charles, any fashion tips?

I say, just go for it, you guys.

Get in touch with your inner fashionista.

Just have fun with it.

Make 'em sparkly, make 'em glittery.

You can do this!

The winner of this challenge
wins a to-die-for prize!

You've only got 45 minutes on the clock.

And guess what?

It's already started. Go!

[Nicole laughs]

Turn this on.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Jacques, how would you do
these doll cakes?

[Jacques] To make this supermodel
doll cake, start with the cake.

Mix together the eggs, milk,
melted butter,

and then combine that
with the dry ingredients.

To make the buttercream,
start with room temperature butter,

then add confectioner's sugar,

vanilla, and heavy cream.

Once the cake is cool,

they should fill, stack,

and carve their cake
to start forming the dress.

Frost the cake
with a thin layer of buttercream,

then cover the cake with fondant,

insert your doll through the top,

and finally, add the wafer paper detail
and fondant pieces

to create the high-fashion look.

Do you think anyone's
gonna carve their cake?

You know, they have to.
There's no other way.

I don't think she can be like that,
and the dress, square.

Green. Everything green.

Ah!

So, I'm definitely not a fashion person.

The majority of what I wear are sweatpants
that are covered in oil and grease.

Of course there's eggshells in there.

As far as baking goes,

creativity is a key.

Recipes are there for a reason,

but, like, come on, it's way more fun

to just throw some crazy things in the mix
and see what happens.

I can taste the air.

It's delicious.

How do you take this off?

Oh, how does it come off? Oh.

Okay, that's not how you do it.

I don't have that many gadgets
in my kitchen,

so what I pretty much always use

is a fork. I have a bowl.

I don't really use a whisk.

Nope.

I have some spoons and measuring cups,
and that's pretty much it.

Oh. God!

I need to learn how to use this mixer.

Maybe if I hold it.

It's gonna come out good, I hope.

I'm making a cake
that I think is gonna turn out okay.

Maybe?

I know from watching past episodes,

first thing you gotta do
is get the cake in the oven.

Mixing it, it looks good.

I'm looking at the doll and I'm like,
everything's kind of covered up anyways,

so I'm not sure
if this is gonna matter a whole lot.

[groans]

I think Everard has overfilled his pans,

and I do not think in 32 minutes
that they are going to bake.

Yes, that's a problem.

We might get dress soup.

[Everard] Put that in the oven.

-I think he's going to be in trouble.
-[Everard] Okay.

Okay.

[Christian] Okay.

There we go.

Okay.

We'll mix it a little more.

[Jacques] Why is he beating it again?
That's bad for texture.

[Christian] All right, give some for here.

Four.

I'm gonna make a lot of buttercream.

Mmm.

Wow.

It's actually better than I thought.

So I found some Concord grape flavoring,
which I thought would be good for purple.

-Let's see how that turns out.
-This is...

I bet nobody else is color-coordinating
their flavors with their colors.

Grape is purple.

Wine, grape juice.

This is a perfect...
This is great. Genius.

I've no idea how I'm going to turn
buttercream into that.

This is so not really that thin.

I realized that I've now picked
the hardest one.

Looks like petals.

Okay.

Mine is just covered in, like,

500 of these little, tiny petals.

I need 500 flower petals.

I've got five.

I've royally messed up.

I've made a terrible decision.

I need to find something faster.

So I find these sheets of, like,

edible paper that are colored.

I grab a bunch of those sheets, I start
cutting them into kind of feathers.

So, we're gonna do that now.

Okay.

So at least I have a ton of petals.

I'm gonna do my fondant on the floor.

Christian, why are you on the floor?
What are you doing?

I feel like it's easier.
I never rolled fondant before,

so you know it's not going anywhere.

I have to say, this is taking it
to a whole new level.

It's... it's frightening
what you see in kitchens.

[Christian] I enjoy the floor, yeah,
'cause I feel comfortable.

I feel like I just have a lot of room,

I could do whatever I want,
and I'm just being me.

Start working on her outfit.

I don't know if these floors
have been swept between seasons.

I've actually never done this before,
but I've seen it, so...

[Jacques] Oh, my God.

-[Charles] Uh-oh.
-I think that Everard

wants to roll buttercream.

You cannot roll buttercream. It's a cream.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

Okay, you guys,
this is getting good, though.

[Everard] As I roll this,

one of the cameramen snorts,
like, really loudly.

[snorting]

And I stop, and I'm like,

"Yeah, that's not a good idea. All right."

I need to use fondant.
This is ridiculously dumb of me.

This is not fondant.
I keep thinking it's fondant.

Wait, no, I think he just figured it out.

I'm trying to save my face a little bit.

[Jacques] Everard, what did you put
on your table?

Fondant. Well, it looks fondanty,
I don't know.

"Fondanty"?

[Everard] Work it.

Oh, my cake, my cake, my cake,
my cake, my cake.

All right, I'm gonna do
what I have to do here.

I'm looking at my cakes,

and they're not cooking.

-Let's see how they come out.
-I mean...

Oh, my God.

Uh-oh. He didn't get the cakes
cooked all the way through.

This is the beginning of a disaster.

Oh, I'll bet.

Well, since they're gonna be covered
with buttercream at the end,

I'm gonna throw these back in.

My thought is, okay, I'm just going
to put the pan in the convection oven

for, like, six minutes,

because the convection oven
cooks fast.

I'm just gonna hide these.

Seven minutes left, you guys.

[Allison] These are really bad.

Okay, breathe, Christian, you got this.

Oh, it came right out.
That was a good one.

Buttercream.

All right, I'm doing good, I'm doing good.
Okay.

Oh, wow.

Go in, go in, go in.

Uh...

[laughs]

-[Allison chuckles] Oh, this is so funny.
-[Charles] The color looks good.

And we're getting buttercream
between each layer, which is very nice.

[Charles] Mmm.

Spatula just weren't cutting it.

I'm doing it with my hands.

Oh, no.

So... and we're gonna taste
this stuff, Nicole?

-I mean...
-[Nicole] Yeah, sorry about it.

[Jacques] That's a lot of buttercream,
and her cake is way too hot.

[Allison] I'm so bad at time management.

Eww.

At home, I have, like, all the time
in the world to work on stuff, so,

doing this where you only have 45 minutes
is absolutely crazy.

Four minutes remain.

[Everard] That's ready.

The cakes look done-ish.

You know, they're not raw.

I'm looking at the clock and I'm like,
I just got to go.

Say hi.

This is the fastest-assembled cake
I've ever seen.

I think this is still hot.

I'm grabbing the buttercream
and throwing stuff on there

just to kind of make a foundation,
which I'm hoping I can cover with fondant.

I just want to say, Skyler,
if you're watching right now,

I'm so sorry.

[laughs]

Careful. Oh, okay. Well, you know.

[Christian] Okay.

I feel like if I was one of the designers
in Fashion Week

and I noticed the dress was about
to go out and it looked a hot mess,

I would run with the glue gun
and add something.

Oh, God.

-He's like a couturier.
-[Nicole] Yes.

-[Jacques] That's it, you know?
-[Christian] She looks good.

[Nicole] One minute left, you guys.

Need the balls.

She has a lot of balls
going down her back.

Give her a little trimsy.

Oh, my God, what is she doing?

She gotta look good.

[Nicole] There's gonna be hair
in that cake.

[Everard] I don't know what else to do.

[judges] Five, four, three, two, one.

-[Nicole] You're done!
-Yay!

I've never been less excited
to taste something.

All right, Allison!

Let's take a look at the doll cake
you were trying to make,

and let's see what you did.

[drumroll]

-[fanfare]
-Nailed it!

[Charles] Whoa.

[laughter]

[Jacques] She's naked. She's naked!

-This is wild.
-[Allison] I love it.

-It's so good.
-Oh, boy.

I would hate to see what you think is bad.

I don't understand
how your cake is so wet.

There's like a pool of goop in the middle.

[Charles] Look at that cake,
ready to party!

Her ball gown, or whatever it is
at this point, has fallen down.

She doesn't care. You don't care.

-I don't care, and you did her hair too.
-I did.

I did. I definitely did her hair.

You know what? We should taste this cake.

You should absolutely taste this cake.

That cake stayed way too long in the oven,
but because you put buttercream on top,

the butter melted and went into the cake

and made it very moist.

That was a delicious taste of cake.

It was very buttery,
and who doesn't love buttery cake?

I did not like your cake, I'm so sorry.

There was different crunches.

-There was hard crunches, soft crunches.
-Yes, sugar. Sugar.

I've never had so much crunch in my life.

[laughs]

But we must move on...

To the winners? I know.

Maybe this will be
the best cake we've ever seen.

[whispers] I don't think it is.

[Jacques] That was special.

It's really good.

Everard.

Let's take a look
at what you were trying to make,

and let's see what you did.

-[drumroll]
-Nailed it!

[fanfare]

Okay.

I like that she's leaning.
She's like, "Hi, girl, hi."

I like that she doesn't really
have a corset.

It's kind of like a bustier, if you will.

Almost there.

I was looking at you when those cakes
were raw. You put them back in the oven.

I look at the clock, I said,
"That's it, he's out. No cake today."

And then you find a way to assemble
everything together and make it...

a little bit look like what we asked you.

-Are there little sparkles in there?
-Yeah.

You can't decorate sparkle, I thought.

Some beading, some sparkly balls,
and some glitter.

[Nicole] Let's do it. Let's taste this.

Oh.

I think you won...

the worst cake of the day.

Yeah! I hit something.

[Jacques] What flavor did you put in?

Uh, the cake doesn't have a flavor.

The buttercream has
some grape flavor to it.

Why? Why grape?

'Cause it's purple.

I have never had that much grape flavor

-in my life!
-Yes.

That was like a bottle of cough syrup.

We have to move on.

Oh, Christian.

You're up.

Let's see the doll cake
you were trying to make,

and let's see what you did.

-[drumroll]
-Nailed it!

-[fanfare]
-[Charles] Oh.

Okay.

Her gown starts a little low,
but that's called a mermaid cut.

Uh, she's got some jewels
on the bustier area.

Uh, it's yellow.

The cake was supposed to be yellow.
I think you did a really nice job.

I like that we have a bicolor here.

We have some orange, we have the yellow,
we have the bustier completely covered.

You know, the details are here.

But the thing is, she's a little stiff.

I mean, she's just kind of like
come to the party like this.

What about a little, like, "Whoa,"
or, "Whoa," or "Hi, everybody"?

-There you go.
-There she goes. Let's taste this.

Ooh.

I think that's pretty moist,
the flavor is pretty good,

and the look of the cake is not bad.

It kind of had
a cornbready kind of texture,

which was unexpected.

Um, it was a little coarse.

It wasn't smooth, and light, and airy.

It kind of went a little sideways on you,
I think, there.

[Christian] Okay.

I liked the taste of your cake.

I... It wasn't...

It wasn't grape.

She was wearing a dress.

I think you did a great job.

-Congratulations.
-Thanks. Thank you.

All right, bakers,
it is time to announce the winner.

[sighs] Jacques?

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

The winner is Christian.

[cheering and applause]

Congrats!

You went a little bit more
into the presentation of this cake,

and this cake looks the closest
to what we asked you to do.

So, Christian, congratulations.

Charles, tell him what he's won.

[Charles] As the winner of this challenge,

you will get your very own...

baking set.

[applause]

[Charles] Yee-haw!

-And the hat.
-Oh, and the hat!

-There you are.
-[Charles] Oh.

-Congratulations!
-Very nice.

-Dude.
-Thank you.

Bakers, it's time to continue our journey
through the fashion world.

But it gets harder,
because behind door number two

is our Nail It or Fail It challenge!

Now, Charles, tell them
what they have to nail.

Okay, guys, for this next challenge,

you are going to make a truly
one-of-a-kind dessert creation.

You will be the talk of Milan

if you can nail this!

[Christian] Oh, God.

Oh...

What is that?

[Charles] Edible headdress!

Every single thing
on this beautiful mannequin is edible.

Her headdress is made of an assortment
of fondant and cake fruits.

Her flowy scarf is made of edible fabric,

and her dramatic makeup

is made with cocoa butter
and edible glitter.

You can literally lick her face.

[Christian chuckles]

If you get stuck,
you can always hit your panic button

for a little help from the fashion police,

and we'll help you for three minutes.

[Nicole] And Everard, since you made

what is quite possibly

the most inedible cake we have ever had,

we're gonna give you a helping hand,

the extra special frenemy button.

-[button sounds]
-When you hit your frenemy button...

[button sounds]

...both of your opponents stop
whatever they're doing,

and they become your baking assistant
for three whole minutes.

Also, you guys can't sabotage it.

You have to listen to him.

[Jacques] So, bakers.

You have only one hour
to create your edible headdress.

The clock is already running.
Go get baking. Go!

Oh, boy.

This is magical.

I shall call you Miranda.

♪ Let's go ♪

What's buttermilk?

"Cream. Fruit flavor." Okay.

So, Jacques, how would you do
an edible headdress?

Okay.

They start by baking the cake.

Once their cake has cooled,
they will crumble it

and mix it together
with some buttercream to form balls.

They will cover them with fondant,
and then finish them

by adding texture and edible color.

Cut out pieces of wafer paper

for the leaves and flowers,

and paint them with an airbrush.

Then, they will secure the pieces
to the headdress,

and lastly,
to get her ready for the party,

they will add her fondant-covered
pearl necklace

and paint her face with colored
cocoa butter and edible glitter.

-[Nicole] Hmm.
-A lot of things to do.

[Allison] I need to get it together.

Obviously, the first one was awful.

Hopefully, the second one is better.

I just grab as many tropical flavors
as I possibly can.

Anything I can possibly think of
that might help.

I'm gonna learn from my mistakes,

which were everything.

I just start portioning out
all of my batter. Be organized.

Banana, apple.

Pineapple, orange.

Okay, those are in.

Okay, I learned from my mistake
the first time.

I'm not gonna use that much flavoring.

-[Jacques] Oh, my God, that's a lot.
-[Nicole] Everard.

-[Everard] Yes.
-What you doing?

I'd like Jacques to know
that I did butter this pan beforehand.

He's gonna bake his cake
for his cake balls in the muffin tin.

[Everard] See if this works.

-Is almond a fruit?
-Is what?

Almond is a fruit?

You're adorable.

I'm gonna try a little orange.

So, I start working on the cake batter,

and I go for round two
with my best friend, the mixer,

but now I feel like I know how to do it,

and I feel super confident,

and I feel like I actually have a chance
to win this.

Oh, wow. That's a lot of orange.

Mmm. [laughs]

I'm gonna put some sugar in it.

So I keep adding powdered sugar,
powdered sugar.

Put it all in there.

Then I didn't notice the orange that much,
so, I'm like, "Let's bake it."

Who had the most famous
fruit headdress ever?

-Carmen Miranda...
-[Nicole] Yes!

...was a legendary movie star
in Hollywood...

-Mm-hmm.
-...in the late '30s and the '40s,

and she put that tutti frutti headdress
on her head,

and the rest is iconic Hollywood history.

You know what I wish?

That Wes would dance for me.

[Nicole laughs]

"You will beat the butter
on a medium speed until fluffy." Okay.

Buttercream frosting.

Okay, cool.

So, that's made.

Uh, I'm making, like,
a simple sort of icing, I guess.

Whipped cream icing, 'cause I don't have
time to make buttercream at the moment.

All we're doing
is make sure it stays together.

So I'm hoping this does the trick.

WWJD?

What would Jacques do?

[Jacques] I wouldn't make
whipped cream icing for the cake balls.

It will be too runny.

[Everard] You're done.

[Christian] Oh, no,
that one looks really gooey.

Okay.

Come on.

My cakes are still so liquidy.

They're not going to bake in time.

I'm gonna have the same issue
I had last time

where I have hot cake
and a bunch of melty garbage

all over the place.

It needs to bake faster.
I don't have that much time.

So I just started dumping out cake batter
into these muffins,

hoping that it's gonna cook 'em faster.

This sucks.

This cake just doesn't cook.

It's awful.
It's a repeat of the first challenge.

My cakes, they're not cooking fast.

Looking at the final product,
there's a lot of fruit on it.

Freak out, freak out, don't freak out.

But then, I'm like, I'll do the fondant,

and the Rice Krispie treats for the fruit,

but there's no way in this lifetime
or the next

I'm able to finish this in an hour.

-[button sounds]
-Frenemies!

Frenemy time!

-Stop! Allison, stop what you're doing.
-Frenemy time!

-What do you need help with?
-Christian!

Come over here.
Allison, you go over there.

Everard, what are you having
your sous-chefs do?

Christian, because
he's so good at fondant work,

I'm having him do fruit.

Look at that. Look at that lemon. See?

And Allison here is gonna do
some spray painting.

He makes her paint his flower.

This is smart.

-Just go for it.
-[Allison] Okay.

Allison, what's happening
with your airbrush machine?

I don't know. I think Allison is...

Oh, I'm not trying to be dumb.

-You can't sabotage.
-[Allison] I'm not, I'm not.

[Everard] There you go.

The frenemies thing kind of helped me out

because what Everard was
having Christian do

was make a bunch of Rice Krispie things.

And that's when I was realizing
not everything has to be cake.

-There's your lemons.
-[Everard] Okay.

-You're getting practice out of this.
-No more frenemies!

No, stay!

They can't. You gotta do this yourself.

Good work, everyone.

What a treat that was, what a treat.

I want to see some fruit. Come on.

[Christian] Rice Krispies.
So I helped him work on his lemons,

but now it gave me an idea
of how to work on my lemons,

so, I don't really know
if it's a frenemy button.

This somewhat looks like,
you know, a good pineapple, I think.

[Charles] Allison is rolling out
her fondant.

Okay.

I don't know what's happening
with Everard.

He's, like, in slo-mo.
What's he doing, playing with his cake?

[Everard] Whoo-hoo!

You have 19 minutes!

[Christian] I'm gonna make her headband.

[sighs] This is not working.

[Allison] Banana.

Okay, I'm just going to mix that all up
for now.

See if this works.

Make the necklace.

[Jacques] What is he doing?

Why not fondant or wire?

[Everard] With time running out,

I grabbed the cake balls with my hand,
and I'm just kind of...

plopping them on her neck.

I didn't think of fondant.

Uh-oh.

My pearl necklace is falling down.

Oh!

Actually, I'm just gonna make everything
out of white.

Because then I can airbrush,
'cause that's my skill.

I'm realizing,

remember my roots.

I'm good at art, I'm bad at cake,

so let's just try to get as much art done
as possible.

Cool, there's one flower.

-She's coming back with those papers, huh?
-Honestly, I think it's really pretty.

Jacques, how would you go about
painting her face?

-Guess what?
-What?

I have everything in front of me here.
Oh, my God! Where'd that come from?

This is cocoa butter...

-Yes.
-...and color.

-Yes.
-So, plastic, nothing really sticks to it.

-Mm-hmm.
-So, we use cocoa butter.

So, as an example,

-the red is for the lips.
-[Nicole] Mm-hmm.

So we will take a small brush,

and we will take
a little bit of that red color...

Ah!

...to make the lips.

-Look, I did a good job, no?
-[Nicole] Yeah.

-Okay, do it like that where you can see.
-Okay.

-Let's see.
-Okay, you have that.

[Jacques] Colored cocoa butter
hardens when it dries.

Okay.

[Charles] Oh, look.

Everard's is really coming together.

-[Nicole] Oh, wow.
-[Everard] Looks like a pineapple.

Yes, Everard is the one
who is the most advanced now.

I'm so messy, I can't find anything.

-Allison needs to really get in gear.
-[Nicole] Yes.

And so does Christian.
Has nothing on his headdress. Nothing.

Ooh. Okay.
Ooh, yeah, we're gonna give you an arch.

-[Charles] Put a unibrow on her.
-A unibrow?

-Yes! Look at her like...
-[Jacques] Sexy!

-"Gordo?"
-[Jacques] You did good.

But I have to wrap this around her neck
and start shoving the balls in.

All right. So...

Banana.

Oh, crap.

Ten thousand dollars, you guys.

-Ten thousand dollars.
-Ten thousand dollars!

Ten thousand dollars!

Get moving!

How many dollars?

-[Nicole] Ten... [laughs]
-[Charles] Ten thousand.

[Allison] Dude, come on, fondant.

Lips.

Less than two minutes!

Oh, God.

I'm gonna do something I've never done,
and that is put makeup on a girl.

You can't let homegirl walk into the party
without some eyeliner on.

That's just rude.

[Christian] Oh!

[Allison] Now I need blue.

[Everard] This isn't working.

[Allison groans]

[Jacques] Look, they are not even
attempting to use cocoa butter.

You've seen better days.

[judges] Five, four, three, two, one.

-You're done!
-[alarm sounds]

Oh, my God.

Okay, Allison, so this is
what you were trying to do.

-Let's see what you did.
-[drumroll]

-[fanfare]
-Nailed it! [laughs]

[Nicole] Your headdress
tried to jump off her head,

but then it said, "This is my home."

There's a pineappley over here.

A pineappley? I'm gonna start
calling them pineappleys. I like that.

You had a good idea,
to make those big flowers

and airbrush them with beautiful color

will be what brings her alive.

[Charles] We have some color.

We have a little exuberant kind of style.

I, uh, bronzed her cheeks, you know,
for that tropical look.

It looks like she's never
put on makeup before, like she's three.

We going out later.

Allison, thank you so much,
but we've got other headdresses to see.

Everard...

-let's see what you did.
-[Everard] Okay.

[drumroll]

-[Charles] Oh.
-[Everard] Nailed it!

-[Nicole] Okay.
-[laughter]

[Everard] This is Miranda.

Miranda doesn't have a headwrap on.
Did you have trouble with that?

[Everard] Yeah, that was last on my list.

But you got a bunch of fruit on.

Is there any cake?

Yes, so the cake is actually...

-[laughter]
-...the pearl necklace.

[Nicole] Oh, boy.

The cake balls,
you should wrap them with fondant,

not with icing.

And icing was a little bit
too liquid, so everything...

it's messy.

-[Nicole] Looks like she's crying blood.
-[Charles] Oh!

I don't think your daughter will ever
ask you to help her with her makeup.

And if you took that to a party,
I can guarantee you,

people would freak out.

We have a third edible headdress to see!

What a treat!

♪ I can't wait to see! ♪

All right, Christian.

Let's see what you did.

[drumroll]

-Nailed it!
-[Nicole laughs]

-[Jacques] Oh! It's moving!
-[Charles] Whoa!

-No!
-[laughter]

Christian, this is my favorite thing
I've ever seen!

It's all kinds of abstract art.

I don't mean to laugh, but her lips!

I had, like, two seconds,
so I had to improvise.

See the gold
that's just slapped on her face?

That necklace is straight out
of a sci-fi movie

that we haven't even seen yet!

It's made out of cake,

so it weighed it down a little,
you know. [laughs]

[Nicole] Okay, Christian,
thank you so much.

-Oh, no, it's time for us to taste these.
-[Everard laughs]

[Nicole] Please bring us any part
of your headdress that has cake in it,

-and me and my friends will pray.
-[laughter]

The only thing
I really don't have a lot of is cake.

The cake balls are kind of it.

But, uh, I'm holding my head high,

and I will never laugh at anybody
doing a baking show ever again.

All right, Allison, you're up first.
Let's do it!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's a lot of artificial flavor,
it's not enough buttercream.

The cake is super dry.

I love all kinds of artificial flavoring
and artificial colors and all that,

but when you pour, like, the artificial
flavor like glug, glug, glug, glug,

it's too much.

It was, like, a teaspoon.

Was it a teaspoon or a tablespoon?

Mini, pequeña.

It was a lot of flavoring,
it was a little dry, but...

your banana tasted like a Runt!

And that's my favorite candy!

Hey, I was gonna say, it is banana.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Nicole] All right. Everard.

-Yes.
-[Nicole] You are up.

Let's taste it!

[laughing]

Oh, come on.

-Ah! Ah!
-Nicole, you're killing me.

Jacques! [laughs]

-Ah!
-[Jacques] Texture is better.

You put enough buttercream,
but you know what?

Again, why so much flavoring?

I tried to really not put in flavoring
this time, but...

Tastes like piña colada.

There you go! See?

I must say,
I like the texture of your cake.

-[Jacques] Texture's nice.
-It was the creamiest cake ball

of all time.

And cake balls need to be creamier.

Amen.

We're on different pages
and a different chapter

of a different book.

It was like pulling a piece of pineapple
out the trash and putting it in my mouth.

Don't say those things to me... It's fine.

I guess we gotta move on.

Thank you.

Christian.

Let's do it. Let's taste it.

[Charles] I want my fruit cake.

Christian, I don't taste any flavoring.

Did you put any?

I put orange and some almond.

I don't feel the flavor.

I liked it. There wasn't
too, too much flavor,

but it wasn't super wet.

I thought you did a good job.

I mean, to me it had a nice,

good, buttery cake taste.

It was a little grainy, but okay.

I really liked it.

Well, bakers,

it's finally time for us to announce
the winner of the $10,000

and the Nailed It trophy.

Wes, bring out the goods.

Ah, what a lovely smile you have.

I will make you dance.

Charles, you ready to make it rain green?

I'm ready.

All right, Jacques?

This was definitely a unique challenge,

and we got some very interesting results,

but there was one that stood out
in appearance.

And the winner is...

Allison!

-[cheering]
-[Nicole] Yay!

Whoo!

Congratulations! There you go!

[Allison] I am actually
really bad at baking,

but thank the heavens, I'm good at art.

This is the most amazing thing ever.

I've worked so hard
to make my own business.

It now means that I get to reach
that next step.

[sniffles] Like, I'm literally
about to cry again.

Well, that's all for today's Nailed It!

See you next time.
Hopefully, in a few seconds.

Wes, hit it!

-[dance music plays]
-Oh-ho!

[Nicole] Oh. Oh!

-Wes!
-[woman] Whoo!

Where do you change it?

[Nicole and women] Wes!

We need to snap a selfie.

Come in, everyone, everyone, everyone!
