If you are a fan of this show....I thought it would be fun to list things we have learned..
I have learned:
1. Butter your pan, do not spray it 2. Make sure you use chocolate with cocoa butter for melted chocolate 3. Use that blast chiller before you frost!

I've learned not to overfill your baking pans, lol.
Some of the creations on this show had me dying.

It's on my Netflix list - I was wavering, but now, I'll start watching.

I didn't think it would appeal to me, I'm not a baker show person. But you get a hot cake and some icing? Magic happens!

I don't like to bake so I watch it purely for entertainment. When I introduced it to my sister she was laughing so hard she was crying. She went home and showed it to her husband. My daughter and I started watching it about the same time unbeknownst to each other. We both were going to recommend it.
Sometimes you just watch stunned. I don't bake or cook much but I know I wouldn't make some of the mistakes they make. Not that I think I could do a good job but then I'm not on TV trying to! It is for $10,000 so maybe I would for that.
It cracks me up how the judges try to be encouraging but sometimes they can't help themselves and have to laugh anyhow.

I just started watching this show. It's the perfect show to watch if you need a good laugh. It's hilarious! I'm terrible at cake decorating, so I can relate to the contestant's final product. I did learn a few things that a couple of you have already mentioned: Use butter instead of cooking spray, use chocolate with cocoa butter and not those chocolate wafers, and don't overfill your pans.

I can't stop talking about it!
And I had no idea you could 'carve a cake'!

My daughter reminded me that we learned it's necessary to put flour in your cake

New season starts at the end of June, guys! Good, because I'm about to finish this whole season. I couldn't stop watching. The guy who stacked all those cakes with no frosting? Dude! And I think he was the one who was randomly putting water in the batter. No measuring. Then there was the creepy princess... I can't believe they win 10 grand for those "masterpieces." Where do I sign up?

I need a picture of that creepy princess! So when I'm down I can look and laugh.
I've baked a cake once and put bananas in it.....my friend asked if it was lard. There isn't improvisation in baking.

I remember from other baking shows that fruit has liquid and you have to adjust accordingly if you are going to add it to a batter. Bananas may seem dry...

Finally, I got a chance to start this series. I think I was laughing so hard during Princess Cake because Zak was laughing so hard. Nicole is priceless and the head Judge, Jacques, is also in on the fun. The guest judges have been fantastic. Here they are at the top of their profession and other than wiping away tears of laughter actually give critiques on the taste of the offering. Okay, I'm in.

..and to think, they award $10,000 to the best of the worst! I watch the cake shows on the FoodTV channel and then this. The stark contrast between the two.

I think it's awesome that they give them $10,000. That's a pretty good prize just for putting yourself out there in this crazy manner! I hate to bake, and I'm pretty sure I'd be disastrous, but 10k makes it tempting to apply for the show.

If you don't put flower in your cake mix it's an omelet.

I saw a clip somewhere today of the Queer Eye guys doing a short Nailed It competition where they made and decorated cupcakes of each other. It was pretty funny. I don't know if it was actually part of the new Nailed It season or just a promo thing they filmed, but it was fun.

It is a bit silly. I can't believe how bad these folks are. I am watching the one were there are using pizza dough to make doughnuts. Baking is chemistry so you have to measure stuff to make sure it works correctly, but common sense is very useful also.

While I love this show, I hate the host Nicole. She is so noisy, annoying, and unfunny, it really detracts from the show for me. I would be much happier if she wasn't on it.

Maybe that's why I don't like the show. I kept wanting her to be quiet and I didn't think she was funny. I only made it through 2 episodes.

I can see where Nicole might be an acquired taste, but I like her. She'll taste ANY of that crap they call baking. I thought it was nice of the guy who won and split his prize money between the other two - he just wanted that obnoxious trophy. Ha.
