Chef Charity George
I’m the “Secret Chef” for Nailed it! on Netflix, (yes! We were nominated for an Emmy Award in the competition series category this past year) and I’ve been involved in that capacity since the show’s conception in 2017.
To explain what I do on the show; I am Pintrest! I make all the hero cakes and treats that the non-baker contestants have to try and copy during the show. I am filmed making everything I create for each episode and that footage is used throughout an episode to show what the contestants SHOULD be doing to copy each piece of edible art.

More Bio
Charity George is a native of Southern California and was raised in San Diego. She wrecked 2 Easy Bake Ovens as a child so her mother decided to teach her to cook on the “big oven”. By age 12 she had “tapped out” her mother and grandmother’s cooking knowledge so she resorted to reading cookbooks (which you can still find her doing if she gets 2 seconds of spare time). During her senior year of High School she went to work for a local cake shop where she cut, filled, iced, delivered and occasionally got to decorate cakes.
She attended Brigham Young University for her freshman year of college, and then attended Le Cordon Bleu in London & Paris and Le Ritz Esscoffier in Paris, continuing her culinary education. After returning to the States she decided to “experiment with the “corporate world” in graphic design, marketing, advertising, radio, film & TV.
