From a young age, Nikk Alcaraz had a heightened appreciation for all things creative. Native to Santa Fe, New Mexico, he was raised by his grandmother who had an affinity for peculiar things. It was inevitable that her curiosity would rub off on him. Little did he know that that curiosity would follow him into adulthood and essentially become the inspiration for his career.
Nikk is a proud winner of “Craftopia” (a crafting competition on HBOmax) and recently was a series regular judge on Amazon’s Killer Cakes. His inaugural cookbook - Peculiar Baking: A Practical Guide to Strange Confections – is a bestseller and debuted to rave reviews. Nikk continues to enchant his audience through the lens by making creepy cakes, pies, and DIY’s.
