Few “Nailed It!” recipes are as infamous as the Toy Robot Cake featured in the fifth episode of the Netflix baking competition’s first “Holiday!” installment, “Toying Around.” While many contestants tried — and failed — to perfect this adorable little guy, the “Nailed It!” team is offering viewers the chance to totally nail the seasonal treat with a recipe from the show’s upcoming cookbook, “Nailed It!: Baking Challenges for the Rest of Us,” which TheWrap can reveal exclusively ahead of the book’s launch next month.
Per its official description: “In the official ‘Nailed It!’ companion cookbook, Magical Elves, the powerhouse unscripted production company and creators of the series, share the tips, tricks, and detailed recipes behind the incredible cakes and baked goods from your favorite episodes, as well as simplified versions of some memorable challenges to give even the most inexperienced baker a fighting chance. With recipes ranging from stress-free cookies and cupcakes you can whip up with ease to the most intimidating cakes we’ve ever revealed behind Door #2, this book contains everything you need to put your skills to the test—and have an absolute blast along the way, whether your creation is a mouthwatering masterpiece or a delicious disaster.”
TheWrap’s exclusive preview of the Toy Robot Cake recipe from “Nailed It!: Baking Challenges for the Rest of Us,” written by the creators of the Netflix show along with Heather Maclean and published by Abrams Image.
For those unfamiliar with “Nailed It!,” the Nicole Byer and Torres-hosted Netflix competition features home bakers with a terrible track record taking a crack at recreating edible masterpieces for a $10,000 prize.
The sixth season of the Magical Elves-produced “Nailed It!” is streaming on Netflix, and the official companion cookbook is now available for preorder.
TOY ROBOT CAKE
Nailed It! Holiday! Season 1, Episode 5, “Toying Around”
Makes one 4-layer cake
Beep-beep-boop-boop! Perhaps the most famous creation from Nailed It!, the toy robot is a four-layer, sweet red velvet cake with a head and arms sculpted from crispy rice cereal, covered in silver fondant, and featuring red and green eyes. It’s also a joy to attempt because no matter how it ends up looking, it tastes delicious! This version of the recipe was adapted by Red Velvet NYC for the Nailed It! At Home Experience produced by Netflix and Fever, so it’s a bit easier to create in your home kitchen than the gigantic version our contestants attempted on the show, which makes it a perfect option to bake for your own holiday celebrations.
