Nailed It Season 5 Episode 3 We're Gonna Need a Bigger Cake

In Nailed It season 5 episode 3, titled "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Cake," three amateur bakers compete to recreate a Jaws-themed cake, as well as a set of ocean-themed petit fours.

As with every episode of Nailed It, the contestants are hilariously out of their depth. The first challenge proves particularly tricky, as they all struggle to sculpt the shark's fearsome jaws out of cake. One baker's attempt looks more like a friendly dolphin than a terrifying predator, while another's starts to slip apart under the weight of its own frosting.

The judges, including host Nicole Byer and renowned pastry chef Jacques Torres, can hardly contain their laughter as they survey the wreckage. However, they do their best to encourage the bakers, guiding them towards the finishing line with helpful tips and lots of good-natured teasing.

The petit fours round is no less challenging, with the contestants tasked with creating tiny sea creatures out of marzipan. They have to deal with a variety of obstacles, from sticky fingers to rogue blobs of icing, all while racing against the clock to complete as many creatures as possible.

Despite the chaos, there are moments of real ingenuity and skill on display. One baker manages to create a stunningly realistic octopus, complete with writhing tentacles, while another puts her artistic talents to good use by creating an intricate coral reef.

As the clock runs down, the judges gather to evaluate the results. There are certainly some... unique... interpretations of the brief on display, but there are also a few entries that leave the hosts genuinely impressed.

All in all, "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Cake" is a classic episode of Nailed It, featuring all the disaster and hilarity that fans have come to expect from the show. Whether you're a seasoned baking pro or a complete novice in the kitchen, you're sure to enjoy this chaotic and entertaining ride.
