Baking reality shows are always fun to watch, even though they’re quite a rarity amid the drama shows. They are insightful and visually stunning, and the competition is massive. One among them is Netflix’s bake-off competition television series, ‘Nailed It!’ which first premiered in 2018 and became an instant hit. Season 3 came out in 2019 and featured another set of amateur yet promising bakers who attempted to replicate the perfect cake to get crowned the winner and take home a cash prize of $10,000. As it has been several years to the show’s conclusion, fans must be wondering about the whereabouts of the winners from ‘Nailed It!’ season 3.

In January 2021, he joined Drastic Games as their lead writer, and since August 2022, Ben has been working at Ithaca College as Manager of the IT Student Employment Program.
Other than that, he’s also been working as a critic, trivia host, comedian, competitive storyteller, and radio interviewer. So far, Ben has written three books; ‘The Origami Man,’ ‘A Farther Orbit,’ and ‘The Good Idea/Bad Idea Book.’ He’s currently associated with HTA Casting, but his social media profiles have been inactive for a while now.

Beth Bailey is Fully Focused on Her Family Life
Beth Bailey won the ‘Oui Can’t Bake!’ episode. She was expecting her third child during the shoot, and the inspiration behind her final cake was her 15-month-old son, K.C. She had intended to use the money to pay off her credit card bills and take a trip with her kids. Since her episode aired, Beth seems to have decided to maintain a low profile. Even though she does have a social media profile, the account stopped being active some time ago, and the last post happens to be of the Healthy School Food Pathway Fellowship. However, Bailey likely resumed her role in the school cafeteria of Fortuna High and Bridgeville School after taking the much-awaited vacation with her kids.
Allison Rook is Now a UFC Gym Owner
