For home bakers looking to feel better about their skills – or lack thereof – Netflix has debuted a new series dedicated to cake baking fails.
The new show, dubbed Nailed It after the popular phrase used in memes of cooking disasters, appeared on the streaming surface on Friday to the delight of baking fans.
Each 30-minute episode features three amateur bakers doing their best to replicate an complicated cake, competing for a $10,000 cash prize.
A real looker: A new Netflix show sees amateur bakers attempt to copy complex cakes, with hilarious results
Having a laugh: The show is hosted by comedian Nicole Byer (right), who is accompanied by a panel of judges
Like many cooking competition shows, Nailed It includes a panel of judges, including host Nicole Byer and master chef Jacques Torres.
Similarly, the competition also involves giving the contestant tight time frames in which to complete their creations.
A preview released with the show sees regular, untrained people being shown incredible molded cakes in the shapes of unicorns, castles and more before being tasked with copying them.
The contestants aren’t given any expert tips on how to copy the complex cake designs, leading to many hilarious stumbles along the way.
Laughably bad: The program shows just how difficult professional baking can be
Oops: The episodes are full of relatable baking disasters, such as overfilling the cake tins
Results: The amateur bakers duke it out for $10,000 by trying to replicate fancy cakes
Not so good: The show is already being compared to the wildly popular UK show The Great British Baking Show
The show promises plenty of relatable baking faux pas, from undercooked cake batter to missed steps producing comical results.
The contestants quickly learn that there is more to crafting cakes than just slathering sponge in icing.
Some final comparisons of particularly dramatic cake fails feature a unicorn cake coming out looking more like an ice cream cone splattered on a rainbow mound, as well as Rapunzel in a castle morphed into a blond Jack Skellington.
The show is already drawing comparisons to the wildly popular The Great British Bakeing Show from the UK.
The six episodes of the show are already available on Netflix to stream.
