00:11Oh, oh, somebody's scared.
00:14And they should be, because it's time for Nailed It Halloween.
00:19The baking competition where cakes start out as beautiful eats,
00:22but end up taking some beef.
00:25It's going to be a Halloween party.
00:26And I'm your host, Nicole Byron.
00:30Quash! Quash!
00:32There's a strange woman back there.
00:34Oh, it's Mary Mouser from Cobra Kai.
00:37Mary, you're in the wrong Netflix.
00:39Sorry, Nicole. I took a kick to the head and I woke up here.
00:43Is this a dream?
00:45Have you seen the cakes that I have to eat?
00:46This is my nightmare.
00:48It's also my job.
00:50Today, three home bakers will compete in Halloween challenges
00:53inspired by Netflix's smash hit show, Cobra Kai.
00:57At stake, the chance to win $10,000.
01:00You know what? Let's go meet our bakers.
01:02Let's do it.
01:07My name is LaJeanne McKinney, and I am a computer science teacher at a middle school.
01:11I also am the dance team coach, and I am also the Black History Month chair.
01:16So, I got a lot on my plate, but I like the base.
01:20My issue is the decorating part of it.
01:22It's going to be plain, but it's going to taste good.
01:26My name is Candace, and I am currently reevaluating my life choices.
01:32At home, I have chickens, cats, one little squirrel that I carry around, and my house rooster.
01:41Woo, this is great.
01:43I enjoy baking when everything goes as planned, which is never.
01:53I'm Gianni DiCenzo, and I say words for a living.
01:56You know what happens to snitches?
01:58They get immunity.
02:00Snitches get stitches.
02:01I have stitches. I've got several stitches.
02:05And apparently, people want to hear me say them, so I'll keep doing that, I guess.
02:09All right, let's bake.
02:11The reason why I'm on this show today is because it's just so much fun to make terrible cakes,
02:17and that's what I'm good at.
02:18Hi, Mary.
02:19Oh, my God, Gianni, hi.
02:21Oh, my God.
02:23Did you not know I was here?
02:25Well, I'm here.
02:28Bakers, we know that you are big fans of today's guest judge.
02:31She plays Samantha LaRusso on Cobra Kai.
02:34Say hi to Mary Mouser.
02:36Hi.
02:36Hi, Mary Mouser.
02:38Mary, you know Gianni from your show Cobra Kai, so you know he can act.
02:44But can he bake?
02:45I sure hope so.
02:48Because I have to eat it.
02:50Mary, Gianni, you may fight for the same fictional dojo on TV, but here in the Nailed It Kitchen, there
02:56will be no alliances.
02:57Yes, sensei.
02:58Oh, sensei, I liked it.
03:00Standing to my left is a man whose hands are highly trained weapons that make treats to die for.
03:07Pastry chef and chocolatier, Mr. Jacques Torres.
03:10Bonjour, everyone.
03:11Bonjour.
03:12The feet do not exist in this kitchen, so be ready.
03:17Well, first up is Baker's Choice.
03:21This Halloween Baker's Choice Challenge will send shivers down your spine and fear in your heart.
03:28Keep that anti-venom handy when you make these...
03:32Cobra Soft Pretzels!
03:35Okay.
03:37These snaky pastries will make you twist in terror.
03:41Each snake has a different flavor.
03:43There's the Cobra Cool who delivers a powerful black licorice bite.
03:47The red Cobra Calamity is caramel.
03:50And lastly, the very sultry Cobra Cosmic is a marshmallow flavor.
03:56This is your fault.
03:59Sorry.
04:00Gianni, which one would you like?
04:02I like purple, and I've been told I'm sultry by no one.
04:06So I'll take the purple one.
04:08You're sultry.
04:10Okay, Lajon.
04:11I like caramel, so I'm gonna go with Cobra Calamity.
04:15That leaves Candace.
04:16Your face...
04:17Wow.
04:18You seem upset.
04:20I hate black licorice.
04:21You hate black licorice?
04:23I do.
04:23But do you like snakes?
04:25Oh, yeah.
04:25Okay.
04:26Well, that's a win.
04:29Yes!
04:31Okay, Bakers, there's 45 minutes on the clock, so go. Start. Do it.
04:36All right.
04:37Candace, come on. Let's go.
04:46Let's go.
04:46Ha, ha, ha.
04:48Cup.
04:49I'm a genius.
04:51I'm entering with the pot.
04:53Jacques, how would you go about making pretzels?
04:58Nicole, we give them the raw dough, but they have to do everything else.
05:02So, first, they must shape the pretzels, then boil them in a mixture of baking soda and water.
05:09As the pretzels bake to a golden brown, sculpt the cobra faces using fondant and modeling chocolates.
05:15Next, dip the pretzel in melted chocolate mixed with just the right amounts of flavoring extract.
05:22And then finally assemble and decorate, making their cobra pretzel worthy of any dojo.
05:28I'm excited. This is going to be good.
05:29Pretzels, that's a classic.
05:30Right?
05:31Like, Halloween time treat.
05:33Wait, really?
05:33Yeah, I think, like, fares.
05:35Oh, okay.
05:35Like, I think, like, fall.
05:36You know what I mean? Like, like, popcorn.
05:38I was like, you went trick-or-treating and someone said, here's a soft pretzel for you.
05:41And you're like, thank you.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Okay, read the whole thing. Candace, read the whole thing.
05:46Shake the pretzels. Remove the dough from the bowl.
05:47I feel like my pot's not big enough.
05:50I'm a little late for now, now.
05:52Uh, make poaching liquid.
05:54Okay, okay, all right.
05:55Okay, where are the...
05:58Where's the pot?
05:59I am a little intimidated.
06:00There's so many steps.
06:02But I'll figure that out, I guess.
06:04Ha, ha, ha.
06:05Baking soda.
06:06Half a cup of that.
06:08Easy peasy.
06:09The difference between Nailed It and Cobra Kai is I don't get kicked in the face.
06:14Must not make mistakes.
06:16At least, I hope the competition doesn't do that.
06:19All right.
06:22I apparently have some sort of double-double boil in trouble, or whatever the crap that is.
06:28This could not be worse.
06:30I have made pretzels that are frozen, and then you put them in the microwave, and those are great.
06:37Okay.
06:39Is that half?
06:40That's about.
06:45Ooh!
06:48Gianni?
06:49What happened?
06:50I forgot that baking soda reacts to things.
06:53That's not even baking.
06:54That's science.
06:55This is bad.
06:56I quit.
06:58Is that an option?
07:00Can I quit on the first round?
07:03All right.
07:04Shape the pretzels.
07:05Come on.
07:06Come on.
07:08Okay.
07:10How do we make a pretzel shape?
07:12Muscle memory.
07:13Muscle memory.
07:14Muscle break.
07:16Mm-mm.
07:17I used to work at a pretzel shop back in high school, so I have like an ounce of experience.
07:23Nope.
07:27It's tiny.
07:28I feel like it's too tiny.
07:29You're gonna admit that?
07:32It's, I mean, it's obvious.
07:34I love an honest man.
07:46I'm gonna plop both of them in.
07:48Okay.
07:49Uh, you know what?
07:50Can't use that anymore.
07:56Candace, how you doing?
07:58Doing absolutely fine, Nicole.
08:01I mean...
08:02Don't get mad with your do.
08:05Jacques, why would you think I'm mad?
08:11It's Timmy approaching one of the 30 seconds on each side.
08:14I think it's been 30 seconds?
08:20This is just disgusting is what it is.
08:24I misread the instructions that you have to make the shape first and then put it into boiling water.
08:32I just threw those suckers in there like they were sausages.
08:37Another one.
08:39Oh, Jesus.
08:41This looks like something the dog threw up.
08:43Seriously.
08:44Move from water and place on a lined baking sheet.
08:48I'mma flip it.
08:49Wax, paper, that's lined.
08:54Great.
08:56Does everyone else look like a pretzel?
08:58I don't know, top or bottom.
09:00I don't know.
09:00We'll find out.
09:01Oh, yeah.
09:03For how long?
09:05Until done?
09:06How the hell am I supposed to know that?
09:0935 minutes remain!
09:11Okay.
09:12We got this.
09:14We're gonna make this head, right?
09:18Gianni, what are you trying to open?
09:20Uh, molding chocolate?
09:22I don't know.
09:23I have never in my life even heard of molding chocolate.
09:28Is it child proof?
09:29Is it child proof?
09:30Yeah.
09:31Karate chop it open.
09:34Yay!
09:35It did nothing.
09:36Yeah, I can work with molding chocolate.
09:39Trying to get the general structure of the face going here.
09:43We're gonna give her a little bit of a body.
09:45Why do pretzels take so long?
09:47Oh, nostrils, nostrils, nostrils.
09:48Pick your nose.
09:51It's okay today.
09:52I had a happy snake.
09:54This dude, not happy.
09:56Not happy at all.
09:59She's got big sassy lips.
10:0227 minutes remain!
10:07Alright.
10:08Oh, boy.
10:09Kenny's pretzels are underdone.
10:11Obviously, that one's gonna be the one.
10:14Certainly too early, no long enough.
10:16Well, now I'm gonna look up the pretzels.
10:18Ooh, look at that one. That looks delicious.
10:20This is how bad the food is on this show.
10:22I'm Googling food pictures and going,
10:24Oh, I wish.
10:27Uh-oh.
10:28He looked like Gianni's pretzels are also underbake.
10:32That's hot.
10:35Gianni, was your tray on the floor?
10:37It was on the floor.
10:38It was hot, and I didn't want to hold it anymore.
10:41Why not put it on a counter or somewhere where feet don't go?
10:45There was no more room, and that was really far away.
10:49Oh, boy.
10:50Uh-oh.
10:52Oh, no, Gianni!
10:54Oh, he used wax paper instead of parchment paper.
10:57What is the difference?
10:58Oh, one stick to your stuff.
11:00If I just peel off half the paper,
11:01can you guys just eat one side of it?
11:04Scrape it.
11:04Just rip it. It's gonna...
11:06Just grip it.
11:07Oh!
11:07Uh-oh.
11:08Do we have to eat it?
11:10Oh, your girl's pretzels looking brown.
11:13Pretzels looking brown.
11:14Your girl's pretzels looking brown.
11:17Pretzels looking brown.
11:18All right, you gotta come out,
11:19because I got some decorating to do.
11:20Milk-colored chocolate.
11:22Add the desired flavor.
11:25Marshmallow. Oh, my God.
11:27They have a flavor for that.
11:28Less is more.
11:30Less is more.
11:34Candice is very entertaining.
11:38Oh, no.
11:39Look.
11:40Are we adding more liquor?
11:41Usually, it's drop by drop.
11:43Whoa!
11:44That's a lot.
11:45Oh, boy.
11:45Oh, yeah!
11:49Lajon?
11:49Did she just not put any flavor?
11:51Ooh.
11:52There you go.
11:54Oh.
11:58There's so much frantic energy over here.
12:00Yeah.
12:01It's pretty wild.
12:01Like, I feel like we got smiles.
12:03Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
12:05We have, like, fear and panic.
12:06Ah!
12:07And then we have, like, anger.
12:09it.
12:11Yes, you're right.
12:12You're right.
12:12I hate this flavor.
12:16Flavor!
12:17Oh, my God.
12:19I forgot to put flavor in my pretzel.
12:21Oh!
12:22Beep, beep!
12:25Lajon is getting all her steps in.
12:27I forgot the flavor.
12:29And, uh, the caramel.
12:31I grab a caramel dust-flavored-looking thing.
12:35I don't even think it's right.
12:37Then pour it back over to this bad boy.
12:38That's right.
12:40Yeah!
12:42Save the day!
12:46Don't have time to pick all my little triangles.
12:49This head is way too big.
12:50You know, I'm not stressed.
12:52Say I love you.
12:54Oh!
12:56Just make sure your head stays on.
13:03There you go.
13:04It's not gonna taste good.
13:06But it doesn't look... bad.
13:09Thirty seconds!
13:10I'm nervous.
13:11I have so many diamonds left to add.
13:13Let's set you up just a little bit.
13:17Oh, my God.
13:18My head is gonna fall off.
13:19Oh, yeah.
13:20Five, four, three, two, one.
13:24You're done!
13:26I stepped on a pretzel on the floor back here.
13:31Wow, Candace.
13:33Let's remember the Cobra soft pretzel you were trying to make.
13:37And let's see what you made.
13:40Nailed it!
13:47I got to say, for an animal lover, I don't know if you've ever seen one.
13:52This was supposed to be a tail that ended up as legs.
13:55A lot of my Cobra Kai opponents, I would describe them as snakes with legs.
13:58Well, after you were done with them, they looked like this.
14:00Yeah, I think you're right.
14:02Okay, should we chop it?
14:05Jacques, I think you should.
14:06Oh, it's a soft pretzel.
14:08It is underbaked.
14:10Oh, boy.
14:13Are you... are you nervous?
14:15Yes.
14:15I keep sniffing it like it's gonna cook and make it better.
14:23You said, I'll put all the licorice I've ever found ever in the world in this pretzel.
14:28Essential oil usually just put some drops.
14:32Okay.
14:33I'm...
14:35So grateful for this lovely little bite I had.
14:39All right, toodle-oo.
14:42All right.
14:43I'm so sorry they don't like you.
14:45Well, well, well.
14:46If it isn't Mary's friend Gianni, let's remember the Cobra soft pretzel you were trying to make.
14:52Gianni?
14:53Let's see what you did.
14:56Nailed it!
14:57Hey!
14:57Oh!
14:59All right.
15:01All right.
15:03Gianni.
15:03Mm-hmm.
15:04I love this.
15:05Yeah?
15:05Oh, I love these lips.
15:06I love that tongue.
15:08This is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
15:12The pretzel, I don't really see it, but the head is beautiful.
15:17Let's cut it.
15:19That's wet.
15:21Underbaked.
15:22It's feel underbaked.
15:23Look at...
15:23Ooh, wow.
15:24Gianni, ew.
15:25Yeah.
15:25Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:37Ooh!
15:38Ooh!
15:39Ooh!
15:40Ooh!
15:40Ooh!
15:41Ooh!
15:41Ooh!
15:41Ooh!
15:41This comes close to one of the wildest things I put in my mouth.
15:43Yes, it is.
15:44It is.
15:44It was so wet.
15:46I love marshmallow.
15:47And there is...
15:50I can't find it.
15:52Gianni, honestly, I really thank you for coming here.
15:55Thank you so much for having me.
15:56I love this show.
15:57Because now I have something to talk about with my therapist this week.
16:00Oh, great.
16:02All right, Lejeune.
16:04Hi.
16:04Let's remember the cobra soft pretzel you were trying to make.
16:08Let's see what you did.
16:10Nailed it!
16:13Wow.
16:14I cannot believe I'm getting paid.
16:16I love this so much.
16:19I really do love how, like, cartoony and adorable your snake is.
16:25This pretzel is hiding somewhere.
16:28We need to find it.
16:29Let's taste it.
16:31Okay.
16:32It's less wet.
16:33It is less wet.
16:34It is less wet.
16:34Which is always a plus.
16:36Okay.
16:37Oh!
16:38This is the most pretzely pretzel of the pretzels.
16:40What's the flavoring?
16:42Caramel?
16:42Caramel?
16:43No, not at all.
16:44I didn't use any extract.
16:46I used, like, the powder stuff.
16:47I think it's a lot of that caramel powder.
16:50You get...
16:50Play-Doh.
16:52Yeah, bury that.
16:54Sorry.
16:55I think we're done.
16:58Someone's gonna win.
16:59Isn't that wild?
17:00That was so much fun.
17:01Let's go, Mary.
17:03Thanks, guys.
17:03Lejeanne, merci, c'était fantastique.
17:06Oh, Burien.
17:07All right, everyone.
17:09Jacques, which baker swept us away?
17:12Everyone did something really special.
17:17But one baker beat the competition into submission.
17:21And the winner is...
17:29Lejeanne!
17:30Mary!
17:32Mary?
17:33Tell her what she's won.
17:34You will be ready to make your kitchen dojo proud with this deadly set of bakeware.
17:39Oh, nice!
17:41And, of course, you get the nailed-it golden baker's headband.
17:46It is like a black belt, but just for mediocre baking.
17:49Thank you!
17:52Ooh!
17:53Yes!
17:54I want that for my dojo.
17:55Yes!
17:56Give it to them!
17:59Excellent!
18:00But it's time to move on.
18:04Ooh!
18:05Ooh!
18:05Ooh!
18:05Ooh!
18:06This Halloween, nail it or fail it, is one of our toughest yet.
18:11In Cobra Kai season one, a defining moment for Miguel was his defeat at the hands of Kyler
18:16in the West Valley High bathroom during the Halloween dance.
18:19No!
18:19Grab him!
18:20Get him!
18:21Let me get him!
18:23Pick him up!
18:25No!
18:25No!
18:26Come on!
18:27Bakers, this will be your defining moment as you recreate that scene into this...
18:35Halloween Dance Fight Cakes!
18:38Oh, no!
18:41No!
18:42I have to make my face!
18:43You do!
18:44Oh, my God!
18:46Oh, that's your face, too!
18:47That's my face!
18:48What do you mean?
18:49Who did you think that was?
18:50We're going down together, then.
18:54This Halloween Dance Fight Cake is a single tier covered in fondant.
18:59On the top is the fight with modeling chocolate used to create Miguel and Kyler,
19:04and a cookie wall painted in cacao butter to make the locker room.
19:08On the bottom is the dance with the face of Sam and Dimitri, made from raised and painted fondant.
19:17Look at that!
19:18And just like the scene, neither of you is in the locker room helping out poor Miguel.
19:23Okay, bakers, there's $10,000 for the winner!
19:26You have 90 minutes.
19:28Starts now.
19:29Oh!
19:36My plan is to follow the recipe.
19:38That is just way too much.
19:40A lot of eggs.
19:42Not a lot of time.
19:44I do not know how to crack an egg.
19:46Come on.
19:46Jacques, that is a Halloween Dance Fight Cake.
19:50How would you make it?
19:51We'll start with the cake.
19:53First, mix the cake batter and get the cake in the oven.
19:56Then bake the cookies for the lockers and make the buttercream.
20:01After that, sculpt the figurine and Sam and Dimitri's faces.
20:05And then finally, assemble and decorate to complete a cake that carrot tastes amazing.
20:11I really like how my hair came out on that cake.
20:14I'm gonna be really sad if somebody doesn't do my curly hair.
20:18Oh!
20:19Oh!
20:21I love Lajon's trot.
20:23Oh!
20:25I'm gonna win this $10,000.
20:27No cake, no scary monsters.
20:29Don't get in my way.
20:30Tablespoon, shmable spoon.
20:33I'm in the process of buying a home.
20:35And $10,000 would help solidify that perfect house for me and my dog.
20:41And then some Jamaican rum.
20:44When you add that little spice of rum in there, you make a good cake.
20:50Karate chop!
20:52Slow and steady will not win this race.
20:56And now, very carefully, we're gonna figure out a third of a cup.
21:00Okay.
21:01I'm not feeling too confident.
21:03But this round, I'm gonna give my baked goods time to cook.
21:08Okay.
21:09I can't fail.
21:10One and a third cup melted butter.
21:13I didn't melt the butter.
21:19Here's what we're gonna do.
21:22That's truly disgusting.
21:24Okay.
21:26Okay.
21:27Chiani!
21:30Put the eggs on the microwave.
21:34So we're getting scrambled eggs.
21:35I guess so.
21:36Mixed in.
21:37This is melted.
21:38Nice and wet.
21:40Like my pretzels.
21:45I'm thinking I got this.
21:46I'm going to go more for taste than I am for how the cake looks.
21:52Oh, that looks...
21:54The decorations and stuff are kind of freaking me out.
21:57There's...
21:59Is what I thought.
22:01All right.
22:01Cool.
22:02Cool.
22:02Cool.
22:03All right.
22:05Should I put parchment paper?
22:07Should I put parchment paper?
22:09I'm not gonna put parchment paper.
22:12There's one hour and 17 minutes left.
22:15Roll the cookie dough.
22:17In the oven, they go.
22:19Look, Kenny's cakes are in the oven just now.
22:21Oh, God.
22:22Yeah.
22:23Roll the cookie dough.
22:24Roll the cookie dough.
22:25Roll the cookie dough.
22:26Roll the cookie dough.
22:27Roll the cookie dough.
22:28Maybe this...
22:29Will this work?
22:30Let's find out.
22:31No.
22:32Do we give them the cookie dough?
22:33Yes.
22:34Yes.
22:35Not warm enough.
22:37Oh, no.
22:40It looks like Candace is microwaving her cookie dough.
22:44Why?
22:45What's with the microwave?
22:49You didn't see that.
22:53Cut, cut, cut.
22:54One of these is gonna be irregular, and that's okay.
22:57Oh, she's singing a song.
22:58Yay, seven.
22:59Mm-hmm.
23:00That worked out great.
23:01Perfect.
23:01There's a lot of math involved today, and I'm not a fan of this.
23:09Yeah.
23:11Yeah.
23:12Oh, my goodness.
23:13In the world of Miyagi dough karate, Dimitri, Gianni's character, was kind of like a little ugly duckling.
23:20I still look at him as like my little brother.
23:22Put a couple of sticks in here like I'm making s'mores only I hate myself.
23:28He's here.
23:29Okay, what's next?
23:31Mary, do you want to teach me how to do some moves on that bag thing over there?
23:37I'm no sensei, but I'm happy to punch out our frustrations.
23:41So, you have your one jab, jab, cross, jab, cross, hook.
23:48Oh, no.
23:48And for TV, we throw him a little cheated.
23:51Let's see if I can line you up with a camera.
23:53Okay.
23:53If you're right here, that's the camera that I'm trying to punch for.
23:56This just sells real good.
23:59Okay, so she goes...
24:00So you gotta jab, jab, cross, hook.
24:03Like that?
24:04Why am I single?
24:07Why does anyone love me?
24:20Action.
24:21Thank you, Nicole.
24:22Action.
24:23Oh, Jesus.
24:24Definitely not.
24:2758 minutes.
24:28I've never made buttercream before.
24:30You know, frosting come in a can.
24:33Okay.
24:34Hi-yah.
24:36I want some color in mine.
24:37Vanilla's cool, but I want some color.
24:39It's gotta get that air in there so it's nice and fluffy.
24:43I do not have fluffy yet.
24:46It's pretty!
24:48This is frosting.
24:50I've made frosting.
24:52Who knew I could do that?
24:55Are you making your people?
24:56I'm making my people.
24:57You making your people?
24:58I'm making my people.
24:59Okay.
24:59My people thick.
25:01Okay.
25:02Little spooky boy.
25:04Spooky boy.
25:05Is that how you talk to Miguel on set?
25:07Yeah.
25:08I call him a little spooky boy.
25:09I'm your spooky boy.
25:09Did you just talk to your figurine and call him spooky boy?
25:12Yeah.
25:13That's funny to me.
25:14He's a spooky boy.
25:1637 minutes remain.
25:18He's got figures already.
25:20Jesus Christ.
25:22Nicole, Kenice is very behind.
25:25I don't know if Kenice did any of the decoration.
25:27Maybe she's really concentrating on, like...
25:29The cake?
25:30The cake.
25:34You're about to get this face done.
25:36The problem is I remember this costume,
25:38but this is what I'm making.
25:41Hey, G.
25:42What color are your eyeballs?
25:44The color of a rainbow on a Tuesday afternoon.
25:48Uh-uh.
25:49They're green.
25:50Okay, thank you.
25:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:54Push it down.
25:57Push it down.
26:00Push it down.
26:00Push it down.
26:03Kenice was the last one to put the cakes in the oven.
26:06She's the first one to put the cakes together.
26:07So they have to be hot.
26:09The cake is hot.
26:10The buttercream's gonna seep into the cake.
26:12Yeah, you're right.
26:13An ooey-gooey butter cake, maybe?
26:15Ooh.
26:1828 minutes remain.
26:24I'm making hazelnut ganache
26:26because I know hazelnut is Jacques' favorite flavor.
26:32Kenneth just put some type of, I don't know,
26:35ganache Nutella on her layer cake.
26:37That's going to be good.
26:39Oh.
26:40Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:42Ha, ha, ha.
26:43I mean, it was a very good witch cackle.
26:46Yes.
26:51Girl!
26:53You did that!
26:55Yes!
26:56Oh!
26:57Okay!
26:58Okay.
27:01Part of cake.
27:05Oh!
27:06That's pieces of cake.
27:09Should I put parchment paper?
27:10I'm not gonna put parchment paper.
27:12I never thought I would die from baking a cake.
27:16This is great.
27:16But I am.
27:18Yeah!
27:19Oh!
27:20No!
27:21You got 15 minutes left.
27:23Why is it so holy?
27:26My cake love the Lord.
27:28Oh, my God.
27:29It looks like a cake.
27:33I'm doing things.
27:34Okay.
27:36So many details.
27:38Trying to make lockers.
27:39Oh, God.
27:43I'm having some sort of problem.
27:46After using the microwave, the cookie dough is not the right consistency.
27:52Are these graham crackers?
27:54They look like lockers.
27:57Three minutes remain.
28:00Okay.
28:01We can do this.
28:02We can stick this on here.
28:03Okay.
28:05Ooh.
28:05Some orange here.
28:07We're getting down and dirty here.
28:09You got a butt.
28:11There's tiny little balls all over it.
28:13Oh, my gosh.
28:14My heart's beating really fast.
28:18One minute, you guys.
28:21Adios, Mia.
28:28Five, four, three, two, one.
28:31You're done!
28:37Candace, let's remember the Halloween dance fight cake you were trying to make,
28:41and let's see the Halloween dance fight cake you made.
28:45Nailed it!
28:49Wow.
28:50Gotta say, bold choice on the faces.
28:54Nothing but eyes.
28:55Actually, it's starting to look like a duck.
28:58Okay.
28:59This is you.
29:00I've never felt prettier, first of all.
29:06The little figurine are, you know, I mean, they are here.
29:10They're too close to the sun.
29:12They're melting.
29:12This time, I was going for taste over looks.
29:17It's fine, Candace.
29:18You're a true delight.
29:20I'm gonna send you back to your station.
29:23All right, Gianni.
29:24I'd just like to say I'm sorry in advance.
29:26It wasn't my intentions to hurt you like this today.
29:30Gianni, show us what you made.
29:34Nailed it.
29:37Okay.
29:38Wow.
29:39They look like they're fighting on a cloud.
29:41Yes.
29:42Mary looks like she got a mustache going on.
29:45That's her mouth?
29:46Mouth, yeah.
29:47I had to improvise.
29:48Everything's there.
29:49Oh, boy.
29:50When I saw that face make it onto the cake, I was like,
29:54boy, he took a stab by doing his own face first.
29:57But it was me.
29:58It was me.
30:00And honestly, that is the version of Miguel
30:03that I will remember from his love.
30:04So you agree, it looks like him, right?
30:05Identical.
30:06Gianni, I'm gonna ask you to wheel back to your station.
30:09Oh, my God.
30:10All right, Lajon.
30:13Let's see what kind of cake you made.
30:15Nailed it!
30:18Hey, these faces.
30:19They're great.
30:21It looks just like you.
30:23Sure.
30:24I like the color of your cake.
30:26That's fun.
30:27Yay!
30:27These brows are thick!
30:30It was a marker, not a brow pencil.
30:32Okay.
30:33Your cookies look insane.
30:36Gianni looks far more feminine than I.
30:38Um, he looks lovely.
30:42Those two little guys on top, they're completely drunk.
30:45Hey.
30:46Hey.
30:47Well, you guys are gonna cut us a delicious slice of your Halloween dance fight cakes.
30:53And I can't wait to taste them.
30:54Delicious?
30:55I don't know.
30:56I'm deciding to be optimistic as opposed to a realist.
31:00Thank you, Nicole.
31:00It's exhausting.
31:04I did step outside of the recipe.
31:07I did some things that were creative.
31:10I'm still thinking maybe I'll win on taste.
31:16Candace, you're up first.
31:22I think you put your buttercream on your cake while it was still hot, so the buttercream like soaked into
31:27the cake and made the cake like a little sweeter.
31:30I'm into it.
31:30I love that you went off script.
31:34You had some hazelnuts with it.
31:36Hazelnuts, yeah.
31:36I like that we have layer into the cake.
31:40Overall, you know, it's pleasant to it.
31:42I don't know why I'm getting like marshmallow cereal like when I was a kid.
31:46Oh, yeah, yeah.
31:46The texture confuses me, but that's not a bad thing.
31:51Necessarily.
31:51Janice, thank you.
31:53You're welcome.
31:54Moving on to Gianni.
31:56Oh, God.
32:00Oh.
32:02Did you try your face?
32:04I did.
32:05That's a sentence people don't say often.
32:07I ate my nose.
32:09Again, another sentence.
32:11So the cake part, it's like kind of moist in some parts, crumbly in other parts, crunchy in others.
32:17Some bites are good and some are bad.
32:20Yeah.
32:20Do you remember Gianni put eggs and butter into the microwave at the beginning to melt it?
32:27Yes, I do remember.
32:27And maybe crumble the eggs a little bit?
32:30Maybe you came up with something totally new.
32:33Can we name it the scrambled egg cake?
32:35Yeah.
32:36But does that mean it's necessarily good or...?
32:40Yeah.
32:41No, it's okay.
32:42You don't have to answer it.
32:43Thank you, Gianni.
32:45Le Jean.
32:51Oh, my God.
32:52It's cake.
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:53It's like an actual cake.
32:55Oh, my God.
32:56What's happening on Nailed It?
32:58I don't know.
32:59We're supposed to have bad cake all the time.
33:01I am so excited to have cake right now.
33:04Mm-hmm.
33:04And I like the texture and I like the taste.
33:07This is wild.
33:08I've been hosting this show, I believe, for six whole years.
33:11I truly think this is the first time I've ever had, like, cake.
33:16Like an actual cake that I'm like, this is cake.
33:19No questions.
33:20You know?
33:20You're right.
33:21Oh, my goodness.
33:22The cake is good.
33:24Now, what I will say is it's kind of light flavor.
33:28Cooking is all about making it yours.
33:31So I did put that little powdered rum in the cake mix.
33:34Yeah, I would have done a little bit more.
33:36But I think you're asking for a lot.
33:37She actually made a cake.
33:40It's just that with a little extra step, it will be really outstanding.
33:45That's what I mean.
33:45Thank y'all.
33:47Well, remember, whoever wins this challenge gets $10,000 and the Nailed It Trophy.
33:55Wah!
34:03That's your binary brother.
34:04I'm having flashbacks, man.
34:08Okay, Mary, do you have the money chucker ready?
34:12I so do.
34:14Jacques?
34:15Bakers, you all made a very interesting cake.
34:20So the winner is...
34:26Lejeune.
34:27Woo!
34:32I nailed it!
34:33I nailed it!
34:35Yes, Lejeune!
34:37I'm so ready to get home.
34:39To my puppy and tell her that she's going to get a yard.
34:42My dog can have a yard.
34:45My dog can have a yard.
34:45I'm going to take a picture.
34:47Oh, that's the one!
34:52Well, that's it for this Nailed It Halloween.
34:54In the wise words of Daniel LaRusso, we kick the competition!
34:59Jamie and if you're here on the show with you tonight...
35:04They've got a yard, two of those demons.
35:07I was like a precipice and the åe!
35:11Well that's it's a piece of here, 28 first, I'm ready.
35:16I've been waiting for a cell 10, you know, there's none.
35:17That's absolutely really pretty gutted.
35:18I knew the thing, but that's what the hell I said.
35:19When is it all?
35:28I'm going to get Sam Fox, something that's gonna happen to guys.
35:32You
36:05You
