BUDD Y: On this episode of "Cake Boss"...
Oh, my God. It's so ugly. Are you serious?
BUDD Y: This bride is crazy!
No, don't do no more.
I don't appreciate what you just did.
That is exactly not what I wanted.
I wanted to make it high. You told me stay lower.
I mean, I got to worry about everything?!
-We got to do this cake. -I'm not doing it.
We ain't doing another cake, so let him handle it.
All right, if I say we're making a cake,
we're gonna make the cake whether we like it or not.

It's wedding season, communion season,
graduation season, cake season.
I got cakes coming out of my ears this week.
So I'm working on this wedding cake,
and the bride's mother has been a great customer for years.
A couple of months ago,
she came in to plan her daughter's wedding cake.
And where are we having the reception?
Alpine Country Club.
Beautiful. Very nice venue.
It is nice. It's not what she wanted.
We were gonna get married in the desert with no one watching.
BUDD Y: Sounds cool.
With a camel. But I don't do camel riding so good.
We weren't gonna invite you, though.
Oh, thanks. I'm only the mom.
[ Laughs ]
I deal with 30, 40 brides a week.
You're bound to get a couple pain in the asses.
-This is your dream wedding. -No, it's not.
I got married in City Hall. I never had a dream wedding.
ALISON: This is the wedding you never had.
SUELLEN: I never wanted.
They couldn't agree on nothing. It was like night and day.
But she doesn't make any arrangements.
I have to take care of everything.
She doesn't even talk to me now. It's all text.
Then you start crying. She gets loud. She hangs up.
BUDD Y: Let's get back to the cake.
It could be different colors. What colors were you thinking?
Some nice white fondant.
Black.
She wants black. Black's not for weddings.
I'd rather make it a little bit more like funeral-esque,
-maybe like calla lilies. -I like calla lilies.
Death of my parents controlling me.
-[ Tires screech ] -[ Laughs ]
So, if the cake doesn't work out, can we throw it at her?
BUDD Y: Throw on me?
-No, at her. -BUDD Y: Oh, at her.
I want to make something that youse are both gonna love
and that you're both gonna be happy.
For the amount of guests you're having,
I would say probably four tiers.
We'll do it in an ivory.
We're gonna do the draping, compliment Mom,
and then we're going to do the calla lilies.
-Oh, look at that. -ALISON: Looks really nice.
Congratulations. It was a pleasure.
We'll make a beautiful cake, okay?
If you have any other questions, let me know.
M y plan of attack is to fill the cake, cover it in fondant, okay,
and then lay the drapes on it.
I could actually fold the fondant into pleats,
'cause it's so pliable.
Laying drapes on is actually a technique that I love.
The beauty of draping is letting things fall.
Let gravity take effect.
I steam the cake a little bit, and poof, I lay it on,
and I just let it open.
It just opens just enough.
And I was so happy with the way the cake was draped.
We hand-made all those calla lilies,
and then I had to start sticking them on.
So I start sticking them on, and as I'm looking at it,
the cake is getting nicer and nicer.
And I thought that I was gonna make the bride happy
by just having the calla lilies.
-What do you think? -MAURO: She's definitely
gonna like this, mother and daughter.
BUDD Y: Yep.
Hey, I want to talk to you about something.
Girl contacted me from St. Joseph's Hospital
in Patterson.
She asked me if we would be interested in doing something.
It's a kid's hospital, so I want to do whatever she wants.
For the kids, anything.
She has a logo, so I was thinking logo on a sheet cake.
Couple sheet cakes for calls like that, no problem.
I'll call her back. I'll let her know we'll do something.
BUDD Y: We just got to make a couple sheet cakes.
We're gonna knock them out in an hour. Not a big deal at all.
It's gonna be like... no problem.
What?
Buddy. May I help you?
Hi, Karen. How are you?
3-D replica, huh? Wow.
So this cake's got to feed 500 people, too?
KAREN: Yeah.
Send me the logo to my e-mail,
and I'll try to look at the plane
and then try to get an idea from that.
KAREN: Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
BUDD Y: Joey!
Hey, you told me about that charity thing,
and I said no problem because it's for charity.
But she calls me up, and she says it's 500 people.
She wants a 3-D airplane, this and that.
You know, it's gonna be tough.
Where am I gonna have the time to make this?
This has got to be a big cake. This cake is gonna be huge.
We'll cut it out to look like a cloud.
I look at the logo, and once I look at it,
boom, it pops in my head what I'm gonna do.
The bottom cake was going to be, like, clouds.
And then on top of it, we were gonna have the biplane.
And then coming out the back would have been a little banner,
and it kind of wraps around the front
where it says, "St. Joseph's Hospital. "
You cut the board.
-You get the sponge. -I'll start trimming it.
Remy will start the plane. Let's get in gear.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. You got to shake it.
I said, " Mauro, you're gonna cut out the sky pattern
from sheet cakes. "
It's gonna be filled with chocolate ganache,
fresh strawberries, and vanilla cake.
I mean, it's gonna taste delicious.
-Buddy? -What?
I have an Alison here. She's getting married tomorrow,
and she wanted to come in and check on her cake.
Are you serious? She wants to check on her cake?
LISA G.: Yeah.
Okay. Send her up.
LISA G.: Okay, hon, you could go right up.
BUDD Y: This isn't something that happens often,
but when it does, I'm happy to have my brides come see my work.
Hi. I just want to see my wedding cake.
You getting excited? You're here the day before your wedding.
-Can I see it? -Of course.
I'm gonna get it. Let me pull it out for you.
Come check it out.
Oh, my God. It's so ugly.
-[ Scoffs ] -Are you serious?
Yeah. This is...
This is kind of what we said.
I said, " I'm gonna do the calla lilies.
I'm gonna do the draping down it. "
It looks just really traditional.
I'm not sure if I came across as like super-traditional
or if you got the wrong idea or if my mom paid you extra money
to make it extra boring or what was going on.
But this wasn't really what I had in mind.
And the cake was actually one of the very important parts to me.
l-I mean, I...
All right, so do you just want to, like, make a whole new cake?
-For tomorrow? -There's really no color here.
I told you I was wearing purple shoes, like, blue soles.
No, I know, I know. But you're gonna have to give me a second.
Let me go talk to my team and see what I can do.
I walk out of the room for a second, and what's going on?
She goes, she grabs the piping bags
and starts squirting my cake.
I don't appreciate what you just did.
You come into my bakery, you squirt icing all over this cake.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't even know what to say.
I don't know how else to spell color.
Listen, I know that, but that's not what we agreed on.
It's inspiration.
So you want me to bring this to your wedding tomorrow?
-Do you want to show this -- -No, I want a new one.
You want a new one?
I should bring you this, because you ruined this.
I was giving you an art lesson.
You know what? I'm gonna be nice now.
Just do me a favor and go, okay?
ALISON: I look forward to the cake. It's gonna be awesome.
-I think you get it now. -Yeah, I get it.
-ALISON: Bye. Bye. -All right. Bye.
BUDD Y: M y first thought is, I ain't making this cake.
I'm so... aggravated.
Aggravated? We have a lot of work, too.
We ain't nowhere near finished today.
BUDD Y: After I thought about it,
I'm like, " I at least owe it to the mother
and let her know why there wasn't gonna be a cake
at her daughter's wedding tomorrow. "
This is Buddy from Carlo's Bakery.
I'm like, "You don't even know what your daughter just did. "
She totally, totally ruined the cake.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to do a cake for you.
The next thing I know, the mother's bawling her eyes out
over the phone to me saying how sorry she was
and how she'd pay for another cake.
You're a good customer,
and I want to do the right thing for you.
Take care.
All right. Listen.
-Danny. -DANN Y: Yeah?
Come on. We got to do this cake.
-What cake? -For this pain in the ass.
Unh-unh. I'm not doing it.
She can have that cake over there. I'm not doing it.
You should have been like, "All right, you need to stop. "
-I did! I did! -Who acts like that?
We ain't doing another cake, so let him handle it.
You should deliver that cake to her.
She has a little tantrum because she didn't get what she wants,
so now we have to be here all night long.
All right, listen. I gave the mother my word.
All right, if I say we're making a cake,
we're gonna make the cake whether we like it or not.
At that point, I felt like I had something to prove to her.
I wanted to prove to that girl that I was a better person.
Sunshine, we're gonna cut some colorful flowers.
So, yeah, I get it now. She wants something different.
This new wedding care is gonna be a five-tier square cake,
offset tiers, tiny little quilt pattern on it
with little silver pearls in between each quilt.
And I'm gonna cover the cake in bright sugar flowers.
Let's do peonies, orange and pink.
Let's do hydrangeas,
-like a limy, sage green. -Okay.
BUDD Y: So I got the girls working on the flowers.
They're painting all the flowers.
-WOMAN: All that work. -We're gonna be here all night.
BUDD Y: Me and Danny are working on the quilting.
Quilting is something that I figured out
a long, long time ago.
Basically, what you go to do is do a crisscross.
You lay the ruler across it, and you make these lines.
And then you go the other way,
and you get, like, a quilt pattern on top.
The crazy bride's wedding is tomorrow,
so we really got to crank this cake out.
I got to go back and check on the biplane cake,
because that's coming up.
Let me ask you a question.
Where are you gonna put "St. Joseph's Hospital"?
Right here. Right here.
BUDD Y: Should have came up higher.
This is exactly not what I wanted.
I told you, Maur. I told you it was too low.
I wanted to make it high. You told me stay lower.
BUDD Y: Looking at this, if you want to stand it up,
the thing's got to be this tall.
You got to bend it.
Now, the only other thing we can do
is use this as a resting place for the banner.
But this should be more... chopped.
I thought I was crystal clear on what I wanted.
I guess I got to be on top of everything.
Everybody's busy.
We're multitasking, filling out these orders like crazy.
What about this order?
And Frankie -- He's got a simple cupcake order to fill,
the customer's waiting, and he's not done yet!
They're waiting for this freaking order!
-The order's done! -Frankie, I mean, everything --
It's busy!
I mean, I got to worry about everything?
You got to put cannolis in this box.
I know! I was gonna fill them downstairs!
-I don't have a bag up here! -Where are you gonna stuff them?
Look. Where are you gonna put cannolis in this box?
-We got to be on top of things! -They're here an hour early.
-What do you want from me? -BUDD Y: What do you want?!
I want to know where I'm going next.
You don't know where you're going yet?!
You are that dumb that you don't know where you're going yet?
I don't feel like getting yelled at after last week.
-But everything you do! -There was something last week
that wasn't supposed to be there,
so I thought I should double-check with you.
BUDD Y: Oh, Stretch...
And I got Stretch in my ear.
I'm like, "Are you kidding me, Stretch?
I'm gonna throw you out the window. "
You are the epitome of bad delivery guys.
STRETCH: Bad delivery guys? You sure about that?
I've been around for an awful long time
to be a bad delivery guy.
Get out of here. I don't want to see you two.
FRANKI E: I'll go do your consultations, too.
Go!
-I'm gonna stand right here. -Okay.
-Get him to stand right there. -Okay.
As soon as he's there, open the door and just move.
He's gonna get whacked.
[ Chuckles ] All right. Sounds good.
-FRANKI E: All right? -All right.
-Make sure you move. -I'm going to get him now?
Right now. I don't want to sit back here long.
I know.
I really want to get Buddy back just 'cause the past few weeks,
he's just been dumping stuff on me.
[ Laughter ]
BUDD Y: Stretch, you're driving me crazy.
-[ Laughs ] -STRETCH: [Bleep]
Don't mess around!
[ Laughter ]
What's up now, Stretch?
You think that you're gonna get my people on me? I
What's wrong with you?!
And then boo-yah-ka! He got it.
You got nerve coming after me.
What happened was, Stretch went to Frankie and was like,
"Hey, let's try to get Buddy back. "
You think Frankie's not gonna tell me what's going on?
You mess with the bull, and you get the horns.
Okay. Playtime is over.
I got to finish up this biplane cake.
This cake has got to be perfect.
After I cut the cake and then we put the fondant banner on,
the cake actually looked really good,
but we still had a lot of work to do on it.
Remy carved pound cake for the plane's body and wings,
iced it, then covered it in bright-yellow fondant.
Let's go. Stick it on.
Once we put the plane on,
I was like, "Wow, what a freaking cake!"
I mean, it was great. Where's the tail?
We made almost everything else out of modeling chocolate.
That's the top wing, the wheels, and the cartoon face.
We used royal icing to make everything stick together.
I think that looks good. The nose, the eyes are on.
It really came together great at the end.
You guys did a great job. I know I'm tired.
We're all tired. It's for a good cause.
I think it looks cool. I think it looks like a cartoon.
MAURO: Looks like the logo to me.
BUDD Y: At the end of the day, we did a great job.
M y team is great. We rock.
[ I mitates biplane whirring ]
Today is a big day.
It's bridezilla's wedding day
and the children's hospital charity event,
so we got two major cake deliveries.
And I'm not even done with bridezilla's cake yet.
She might have been a bridezilla,
but I want to make her happy.
So after I put the flowers on,
we had to add the little silver edible pearls
where the quilts met.
Come on, ladies. Let's go.
So I called everybody over. "All right, come on. "
Wherever there's a dot, you put a ball.
Those little silver pearls
actually really made that cake pop.
I n the end, the cake was great.
Listen, I know this was a real, real pain in the ass,
and I know she drove us crazy.
I appreciate all your hard work. It looks great.
It looks really nice.
Easy.
I got to make this delivery to this bridezilla
because I really want to see her reaction,
so I'm delivering it personally.
Nice and easy.
SUELLEN: Oh, my God. [ Gasps ]
Oh. Hi, Buddy.
BUDD Y: Hi, how you doing, M rs. Freeman? How are you?
Oh, good. Oh, this is beautiful.
Do you like it? Congratulations.
Thank you. I love it.
I love the bright colors. Can we eat the flowers?
BUDD Y: Of course. They're all sugar.
She was so appreciative that I even made another cake.
Especially after what happened with her coming in --
-I am so, so, so sorry. -I just hope that --
-Are you okay? -I'm totally okay.
I just want her to be happy on her day.
Ali, you want to see your cake? Alison.
-Oh, my god. -SUELLEN: Ali.
Mom kept calling Alison over to come look at the cake.
SUELLEN: Ali, you just have to take a look.
ALISON: Oh, it's beautiful.
She didn't, I think, want to give me the satisfaction.
It's so stressful.
I understand. I'm not worried.
Bridezilla's reaction was not what I hoped for,
but all the bridesmaids, the mom -- Everybody loved it.
SUELLEN: Can you believe this is all edible?
-That's amazing. -It's a work of art.
-It is. -It's a total work of art.
WOMAN: I totally thought they were real.
-I can't believe that. -BUDD Y: Thank you.
At the end of the day, I did my job.
I made her a beautiful cake.
I got to say to her fiance, good luck, brother.
[ Chuckles ] You got your work cut out for you.
Do your stuff.
-Thank you. -M y pleasure. Enjoy your day.
But you know what?
At this point, I got to deliver this biplane cake.
So, we get to the venue. It's go time. We go to go.
We got to present this cake.
Got it?
MAURO: Want to spin it, Buddy?
BUDD Y: This way, nose first.
[ Cheers and applause ]
M y God!
BUDD Y: This cake was awesome.
JOEY: There you are. Enjoy.
The cake tasted delicious.
BUDD Y: I feel that this cake was a really big success.
I was so happy with it.
What a good event. What a good cake.
Hey, come on. Fuhgeddaboudit. It was great.
-BUDD Y JR.: Hi, Daddy! -Hello! Daddy's home.
-What are you guys doing? -Hello!
BUDD Y: I've been working so hard the last couple weeks,
I feel my kids -- I haven't seen them in so long.
I miss them so much.
Ah! Give me a hug. Oh, I love you.
[ Smooches ] How's my big boy?
-Are you hungry? -BUDD Y: Oh, I am hungry.
-LISA V.: Is everyone hungry? -SOPH IA: Yeah.
LISA V.: Yes?
BUDD Y: Nothing like a home-cooked meal.
'Cause after a long day's work... I look forward to this.
Hey, you know, this is what life's all about --
famiglia, you know?
That's what it's all about.
Thank you, baby.
-Love you. -I love you, too.
Bellissimo.
What does Mommy do, and what does Daddy do?
-Daddy makes cakes. -Okay.
-And Mommy cooks. -And Mommy does nothing!
-[ Laughs ] Hey! -Hey! What?!
-You do nothing! -Really?!
