In the first episode of Netflix’s new series “Bake Squad,” Denver-based pastry chef Gonzo Jimenez sculpts a giant chocolate egg with an edible dragon hidden inside. Its sharp claws reach out from a hole in the surface, its beady eyes stare lifelike from within the shell, waiting to be cracked open and devoured. Filming for the series took place during the pandemic, a time when “the world needed something that was a little pick-me-up when it came to food and shows overall,” Jimenez said. “I think it clicked after the pandemic (started),” he added.
