C'est du gâteau

Funny to watch with friends, pretty good for what it is - don't watch when hungry though!

Nicole and Jacques are a well paired and hilarious duo. Omg I've been binge watching this and I'm in tears laughing at their interplay and reactions to the creations of the contestants on the show. A must watch especially if you like baking cook offs, comedy, French men...

The hosts are hilarious, the rules are silly and the contestants are having a blast! I suddenly wish Nicole was the host of ALL shows, she is unconventional and fun in her approach and keeps the other judges guessing what will happen next. The upbeat atmosphere of the show is a welcome change to the catty negative vibes fostered by most reality/competition shows. Had so much fun watching season one and have my fingers crossed there will be more coming soon!

I am a terrible baker so this show really resonates with me. I also love things that are so bad they're good, and that's exactly what a lot of the baking attempts by the contestants are. I'm fairly sure I couldn't do a better job, so credit to them all for having a go.

I love the host. She's warm, loud and joyful. She'll laugh at disaster cakes without being cruel. She seems like the kind of person I'd want in my life as a friend.

This show is dumb fun, and since I'm writing this during a COVID-imposed lockdown it's just the sweet dessert I need to stay happy and sane.

Nailed it! is one of my guilty pleasure shows. Watching amateur bakers tackle elaborate confections made by master pastry chefs is just so much fun. The confections that the amateurs are supposed to copy are elaborate and well designed, but the real selling point here is the glorious train wrecks that our contestants turn them into. The show does a great job at lingering on the stumbling without feeling as though it's being mean spirited. Thanks in no small part to Nicole Byer and Jacques Torres as well as their various guest hosts, the atmosphere the show creates is a friendly one where even if you mess up you can still win so long as you messed up slightly less than everyone else.
