A New Jersey teen is baking his way through the latest reality competition show Is It Cake? which premiered just last month on Netflix.

A cake artist and instructor by the name of Justin Ellen is running his very own business, Everything Just Baked, alongside his sister Brianna Ellen in Northern New Jersey.

While taking his talents from the Garden State to Netflix, Ellen and the other eight competitors on the show were tasked to create authentic replicas of certain products inspired by a popular meme trend.

Spoiler Alert: Although Ellen didn't take home the $50,000 grand prize, you still have the chance to see more from him very soon. Fans can take an in-person 4-hour class where they will learn floral applications, marble fondant, and more on Sunday, May 1.
