Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm Buddy Valastro, and this is my family.
00:05Together, we make cakes.
00:08Cakes on a plate. What could go wrong?
00:10Big cakes. Crazy cakes.
00:12And those cakes turn into more cakes and pies and cookies and pizza.
00:17In this enormous factory where I work side by side with my family.
00:21Well, I'll tell you.
00:22I said no steam.
00:24Running a small bakery was tough.
00:26But running an empire...
00:28You're in my world now, Junior.
00:30You can down, down, down when your family's by your side.
00:33It's a piece of cake.
00:37Every day at the factory, we ship tens of thousands of cakes across the country.
00:41If they don't get the out of the oven fast enough, that line can't start.
00:45It's the bread and butter of the business, and I love it.
00:49But that doesn't mean our custom cake orders are slowing down.
00:52This week, you won't believe the cake requests we got.
00:55The Kennedys are American icons.
00:58They're basically our version of the royal family.
01:02Ask not what your country can do for you.
01:06Ask what you can do for your country.
01:09So when Anthony Shriver, JFK's nephew, called me for a cake, I was honored.
01:15I mean, presidents, senators, and a baker from New Jersey.
01:18What's up, dude?
01:22Hey, what's up, son?
01:23How we doing?
01:24I'm good.
01:25I'm just fixing my mess here.
01:28Yeah.
01:29It's week two.
01:30Last week was kind of boring with my internship.
01:32I'm excited.
01:33I think it could be really good.
01:34Like, take measure it back.
01:35We rig it.
01:36Junior, you got to go help your mother a little bit.
01:39But this week, we're going full steam ahead into a cake build.
01:41So I'm kind of excited to get my hands dirty and, like, work with some stuff.
01:45If I want to take over this place, I need to know everything.
01:47Every little step about the whole place.
01:49You ready for your first cake consultation?
01:52I am.
01:53Let's see what it does.
01:54Junior inevitably wants to be in my world.
01:58Whether he goes to college or not, he wants to be in my world.
02:02So this week, I'm giving Buddy the opportunity to kind of see this project through from the
02:07cake consultation with Anthony all the way to the delivery.
02:11So he gets the full experience.
02:13Don't embarrass me.
02:15I won't.
02:17Come in.
02:18Hey.
02:19Mr. Shriver.
02:20Hey.
02:21How you doing?
02:22Hey.
02:23I'm so happy to see you.
02:24I know.
02:24I got it.
02:25I know.
02:25Finally.
02:26Finally.
02:27How you been?
02:27This is my son Buddy.
02:28Hey, man.
02:29What's up?
02:29Hey, please.
02:30Have a seat.
02:30There's family in here.
02:31Oh, yeah.
02:32You know how it is.
02:33Yeah, yeah.
02:33Junior kind of, this is like his first cake consultation.
02:37My first cake consultation.
02:39Yeah, see that?
02:39Exactly.
02:40We're both learning our way.
02:42Anthony started Best Buddies.
02:44Best Buddies is a nonprofit that creates opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental
02:50disabilities.
02:52It's not only about when the kids are little.
02:55After these kids go to school, what are they doing?
02:57This organization helps so many of them find employment and social opportunities.
03:03God bless you and what you do.
03:06You know, the event over the weekend is great.
03:07We have so many people with intellectual disabilities at a tent.
03:09How many people?
03:10Well, there'll be a thousand people at this cycling event.
03:13Wow.
03:13We have a 5K run walk.
03:14The Carl Lewis, the great Olympic athlete, been a good friend of mine.
03:18And we have a huge New England clam bake under the tent and a great dessert this year.
03:23That's right.
03:23That's right.
03:24After you ride 100 miles, you deserve to eat a few cakes.
03:27You're riding 100 miles?
03:29Yeah, so I'll be riding 100 miles.
03:31So, you know, you can raise money, have fun, eat good food.
03:33We can't wait.
03:34We're excited to be part of it.
03:36I'm going to actually come with my son.
03:39All right.
03:39Nice.
03:39And my other son, Marco.
03:41Okay.
03:41Awesome.
03:43I'll come up with something great, right?
03:45But I'm just thinking...
03:46How do you normally do it?
03:47Like, you try to connect it to our event?
03:48I try to connect it to the event.
03:50Everybody who rides gets a medal.
03:53And then we got the great Best Buddies logo that was designed by Keith Haring.
03:56Okay.
03:57The great pop artist.
03:58Of course.
03:58Who was wonderful, gave us that image.
04:00Definitely have the logo on there.
04:01Yeah, it'd be great to connect the logo.
04:03Logo, medals, you know...
04:06Bikes.
04:06Bikes, yeah.
04:07I'm thinking, like, a big trophy, too.
04:09That'd be good.
04:09We give out trophies to the top finishers.
04:12We cannot wait to be part of this event, Anthony.
04:14I know.
04:15It's good stuff.
04:15Excited.
04:16I really appreciate it.
04:16Thank you so much.
04:17Awesome.
04:18It's such a pleasure.
04:19I'll see you on Saturday.
04:20I'll finally meet you in person.
04:21Yeah, no, finally.
04:22And I'll see you guys Saturday, right?
04:24Yeah, we can't wait.
04:25Yeah.
04:30Hello.
04:30Hello.
04:31Hello.
04:31Hello.
04:31Hi.
04:32Good morning.
04:33How are we doing, everyone?
04:35Good.
04:36Hi.
04:37Excellent.
04:37Hi.
04:38We just had a consultation with Anthony Shriver.
04:40And he needs a cake for his foundation, Best Buddies.
04:43It's a great cause.
04:45We're going to go up to Hyannis Port, to the Kennedy Compound.
04:48That's where it is.
04:49Just saying, Jess.
04:50I said he's making lobster and clams.
04:52What?
04:53Clams.
04:53I love.
04:54Bring me back a plate.
04:55You love a clam bake, Jess.
04:58We'll talk more about that later.
05:00This week, I got to finalize the next phase of the factory construction going in.
05:07We're growing his business.
05:08We're scaling it.
05:08To go to the next level of the factory, it's spiral freezers.
05:12Right now, in a day, we could probably do 30,000 to 60,000 cake slices.
05:17With the investment into this freezer, we probably could do 120,000 in a day now.
05:27So I'm going to be doing a lot of measuring and figuring, and things are going to get changed,
05:31and it's going to be a logistical nightmare, but it's important.
05:35Do I get a vacation during this construction?
05:38No.
05:39No, you got to work.
05:40Okay.
05:40So that's that, and then Lisa?
05:44So we finished up the month strong with our vending machines in Jersey.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Notice I said in Jersey.
05:51We're having still some issues with our Delaware machine, but I'm not going to blame anyone
05:55because, again, without the proper training...
05:57Don't blame Lou's brother.
05:58I'm not.
05:59I just said...
06:00We're not brothers at work.
06:02June is Lou's brother who's been here for, like, 13 years.
06:05We brought his brother on, thinking the apple don't fall too far from the tree.
06:10But June is definitely unique.
06:13He's got some quirks, but I love him like family.
06:16Able to make decisions on a fly.
06:19Whether he goes left, whether he goes right, who knows?
06:22The vending team is really Lisa and June.
06:26He gets distracted.
06:27He gets distracted.
06:29Yeah.
06:29Okay?
06:29Shiny things.
06:30No good for June.
06:31You said you had a delivery to do here, and then you were going to go fill the machines.
06:34You didn't fill any machines.
06:35What happened?
06:36He needs structure.
06:38You ever seen any keys laying around anywhere?
06:40You lost them again?
06:41Yeah.
06:42Well, why do you say again?
06:43Like, that doesn't happen all the time.
06:45We're a family business, and we consider June family.
06:49You don't get rid of family, you help family.
06:51So, when we moved the machine from one location to the other...
06:55June moved it.
06:56Well, he never plugged that in.
06:58So, for six weeks, the machine kept going offline, and we couldn't figure out why.
07:04Whatever the problem was, what happened?
07:07The sales.
07:08How much?
07:0950%.
07:1050%.
07:11Mm-hmm.
07:13It's a lesson learned.
07:14Well, it's an expensive lesson.
07:15Now, it's going to be on my radar.
07:18Everybody good?
07:19Yeah.
07:19All right.
07:21Come on, let's go get this.
07:22Let's be careful.
07:29That's beautiful.
07:31All right.
07:32So, Junior.
07:36What's up?
07:38Tell them what we got this week.
07:39Oh, we have to make cake.
07:40Okay.
07:41We have bakery.
07:43Nice.
07:44Yay.
07:44Yay.
07:44Good job.
07:46So, yeah.
07:47We're making a cake for Best Buddies.
07:49It's for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
07:53And they really try to help these people get jobs and do so many different things.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Nice.
07:59Yeah.
08:00They're doing this huge clam bake, huge dinner, candy compound.
08:04You know I like a good lobster.
08:04Yeah, it'd be a clam bake.
08:05Bring me a cake.
08:06All right.
08:07With that being said, they give out medals, so I think there should be some sort of medals
08:11on it.
08:11And we top it with a big trophy.
08:13Can I put a lobster on it?
08:14Of course, we're talking about Kennedys, we're talking about Olympians, we're talking about
08:19Carl Lewis.
08:20How about like a bottom tier that's got like Americana bunting?
08:25Patriotic.
08:26Patriotic.
08:27Hey, I like that.
08:28You know what I'm saying.
08:29So for this Best Buddies cake, the bottom tier, I'm going to do some bunting in red, white,
08:35and blue.
08:35There's nothing more Americana than that.
08:37And on top, we're going to do a giant trophy with a lobster sculpted in it.
08:42And then we're going to paint this trophy up with edible silver paint and just put a couple
08:47modeling chocolate details to finish it off.
08:50Like medals on the cake and a sign with the Best Buddies logo right on top.
08:55Where's this cake going at?
08:56Where are we taking this cake with?
08:58I ain't a sport.
08:59Huh?
08:59Hyannis port.
09:00What?
09:01So I'm thinking of flying the cake.
09:04Assemble?
09:04The cake and a plane.
09:05What kind of plane?
09:06Seaplane.
09:07My buddy's got a seaplane.
09:09In the water?
09:10You want to take off in the East River.
09:13Hyannis port is a minimum of five, six hour drive without traffic.
09:16I need to get right back to work, okay?
09:18I'm busy.
09:19I got a million things going on.
09:21The only way to do that is by getting a jet or a seaplane.
09:26So you want to know why I'm using a seaplane?
09:29Uh-huh.
09:29There's a door that's like a four by four.
09:32Perfect spot like a four by four cake.
09:35Stick the cake in.
09:37Me, Junior, and Marco.
09:39Do the event.
09:40The plane goes up like this.
09:43You know what's going to happen to the cake group?
09:45I could build a cake to withstand being flipped upside down, okay?
09:54It's in the construction.
09:55So basically I have a pipe going through the cake that's screwed onto the board that should
10:00keep it, you know, from going down.
10:02You guys make the best buddy logos.
10:04You do the molds.
10:05You two fill the cake.
10:06I got a meeting about the blast freezer.
10:09Unfortunately, I got to go whirl my winds and figure out the wind chill.
10:15We got it.
10:15So I'm going to build a freezer.
10:18Come on.
10:19Let's go.
10:20The key to this best buddy's cake is to make it not only solid to withstand the plane
10:31ride, but make it aesthetically beautiful.
10:35Ana and my son Buddy are going to deal with all the lobster sculptures, all the metals, and
10:41all that kind of stuff.
10:42Then I got Jess working on the Keith Haring logo.
10:47And then this structure is very important, so I tasked Mauro with building this thing
10:52to last.
10:54You know, before I started making cakes, the way I met my wife, actually, is I used to
10:58be a carpenter.
10:59I know about plywood, two-by-four strength, and all that stuff.
11:02That's why usually Buddy tells me to go into a workshop, cut the boards.
11:05You know, when you build a cake, it's the same thing like building a house.
11:07If it doesn't have a strong foundation, flop.
11:09So, these are the trim for the trophy.
11:15You can just grab yourself some black and just make a bunch of stuff, because it's going
11:19to kind of go all over the thing.
11:22Ana's teaching me kind of how to make the trim for the trophy.
11:26I'm happy to be on the cakes now, because before I was allowed to be here, I had to shadow
11:31my dad.
11:32It was day-to-day things, sitting and meeting, so it's a lot more fun doing the builds.
11:36This might help squash it in and then trim off.
11:40I'm having Junior make the molded elements that are going to decorate the trophy, but
11:47it's a little bit fussy, and it has to be done right, because these are so visible and
11:53really important to the finish.
11:55Otherwise, it's going to look sloppy, and that's no good.
11:58I covered the whole board with purplish modeling chocolate, and now I'm cutting out the circles
12:03in black, and I'm cutting the same exact size out of the purple, and then placing, and then
12:09doing each row one by one.
12:10There's a lot of logistical stuff with this cake.
12:12It's got to be a certain size.
12:14It's got to fit through the door.
12:14It's got to go on an airplane.
12:15It's got to be able to take off from the river, not at an airport.
12:19This cake has to be built super strong.
12:21In order to provide stability, we're going to put a nice pipe going right through the whole
12:25cake from south all the way up to north.
12:28The lobster is the centerpiece of the trophy design.
12:33I think it's the thing that makes it feel like it's part of the theme.
12:38It's a cool-looking lobster you got there.
12:40It's starting to look like a lobster.
12:42It sure is starting to look like a lobster.
12:45If we do it where we're staying, how long is it going to take you guys to put it in and
12:50get it up and running?
12:51So it's day one of the cake build, but I'm engineering the spiral freezer, because I don't
12:56know if you know that, but that's another thing that I do.
12:59I engineer spiral freezers on the side.
13:01Now, you like how I angled that a little bit, huh?
13:04Yeah.
13:06Spiral freezers work with wind chill to freeze the cake faster.
13:10But when they come out, they'll be like rock hard, and they'll be easier to cut.
13:15This is going to double our production.
13:18We're going to push it as tight as we can to there.
13:20We're going to enter this way and exit that way.
13:24Spiral freezer is going to go dead smack in the middle of a decorated room.
13:27We've got to move the air conditioning, because the new room is going to be there anyway.
13:31So honestly, for our flow, this is going to help our flow tremendously.
13:35You know what it is, and then we'll go from there.
13:38Okay.
13:40Great.
13:40That's perfect.
13:41It's a pain in the ass, and I've got to knock walls down and do a lot of construction and
13:46everything else, but it's for the greater good and for the long haul.
13:57We've got the base of this cake done.
14:02It's sturdy.
14:03For this cake, we've got to do a lot of bunting.
14:05We've got to cut all these strips, put them on there, and secure them very well.
14:09It's not going to make it on takeoff.
14:10So you've got to do like little pieces, maybe three bunts at a time.
14:13It's easy to manipulate here.
14:15Just got to keep on doing it, then doing it, then doing it.
14:20Can you do this a little thicker?
14:22Do it like...
14:22They want it lighter, and you want it thicker.
14:24The thinner model and chocolate that we go, the more likely it is to break.
14:28So I just want to go a little heavier, never put a cake on a plane, so I don't know how
14:33that's going to work out.
14:35I really hope this looks nice.
14:37I'm sure it'll be great.
14:39Junior and I have been working on the decorative elements for the cake, including the medals
14:44and the moldings that go on the trophy, and I have to say that he's doing a great job.
14:50It's lovely that he is so focused and so productive.
14:54I am working on the Best Buddies logo.
14:59It's by Keith Haring.
15:00I think this is just going to be separate.
15:02They're going to put it on when they get there, because I think it's too high.
15:06So it'll survive.
15:08So we wanted to make sure that we were honoring the actual champions from this event.
15:14So we're including the medals that they give out.
15:17We just received a call from a very angry driver.
15:30Good morning.
15:31One of your trucks on the Long Island Expressway this morning proceeded to flip me off once you
15:36pay attention.
15:36Who's driving the vehicles?
15:40You know who's driving the vehicles.
15:42This is what I was built for.
15:44Like, I'm a driver.
15:47June?
15:49Sometimes when you have employees that are like family that have been here for many years,
15:53it's a lot harder to manage.
15:54But at the end of the day, this is a business, and the business has to run a certain way in
15:58order for us to all get a paycheck.
16:00This is not a good look for us.
16:02Yeah, I'll call the customer.
16:03It's embarrassing.
16:04Answer, answer, consent.
16:06All right.
16:07All right, thank you.
16:19Hey.
16:20Hey, what's up?
16:20Just the person I wanted to see.
16:23Step into my office.
16:24What did I do now?
16:25Listen, we need to talk about this whole driving situation.
16:28We have to understand something.
16:30When you are in one of our trucks, and the truck says Carlo's Bakery on it, you're representing
16:36our company.
16:37They're calling here to complain about my driver, but when the people get the call here, who
16:43do you think they're coming after?
16:44So not only are you representing this company, but now you're representing me because I'm your
16:50boss.
16:50So not only is the company looking bad, but you're making me look bad.
16:54And do you want me to look bad, June?
16:56Of course not.
16:57Okay.
16:58June definitely means well.
16:59He just needs a little bit of guidance.
17:01So please, please, please, please, for the love of God, you need to watch your driving.
17:07All right?
17:07All right.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Like everything else in life, you take the good and the bad.
17:11But to grow this vending business, I need more people than June.
17:19Listen, always paint the back first.
17:22You know why?
17:22Because then you've got to flip it and do that underneath so that when you look at it,
17:25you can't see any black.
17:26I got you.
17:27Don't worry.
17:28Everything on this cake needs to be designed for transport, even the painting.
17:32Okay.
17:33That looks good.
17:34We're going to spray everything with vodka.
17:37Vodka is really great, especially to set a metallic after it's already been painted.
17:43Oh, why, thank you.
17:45Uh-huh.
17:46Come on, hurry up, man.
17:47I'm waiting for you.
17:49Spread.
17:50Done.
17:50Although, is that pipe screwed in correctly?
18:02It looks like it's at an angle.
18:05I screwed that thing in.
18:07Beautifully.
18:08No, no, no.
18:09Maybe the board is forced or something.
18:11This cake is going to go where no cake has gone before.
18:14It's going to go on a seaplane.
18:15So, we got to screw it, glue it, whatever's got to get done, it's got to be able to withstand the seaplane.
18:23I think the pipe should go through the top.
18:25Yes.
18:26I noticed the pipe's too short.
18:27Everyone's, like, not really realizing it, but, like, this is, like, literally the most important part of the cake.
18:32The one pipe supporting everything, it's got to be able to hold it up.
18:35And if the pipe's not long enough to hold it, it's not going to go.
18:38So, now we have to modify.
18:43Okay.
18:43We miscalculated on the length of the pipe.
18:47We've got to take it out and recut it.
18:49We're going to piece 17 and a half from the top of here.
18:51Recutting it, rethreading it, reputting it in.
18:53It's a step that we didn't account for.
19:05I'm getting it, slowly but surely.
19:09To the wood shop.
19:10The number one thing for the best buddy cake is stability.
19:14Do you need this?
19:15Plus 17 and a half.
19:18It has to make it on the plane and has to fly and then land.
19:22So, if it's not stable, we're going to have a complete disaster on this.
19:25Is he cutting that piece of pipe, daddy?
19:31It's not even an easy job.
19:32It's a little shaky, but I'll leave it all up to him.
19:35I have every confidence in my nephew.
19:37He can do it.
19:37No way.
19:44That's pretty good.
19:45No way.
19:47All right.
19:48That's what I'm talking about.
19:50I knew there was something I liked about you.
19:52Feels good to contribute to the cake.
19:55You know, getting the pipe the right size and how everything's working out.
19:58And I don't know.
19:59Feels good being here.
20:01That's pretty good.
20:02I didn't think we were going to get it in that fast.
20:04It's kind of amazing.
20:05Junior did it on his first try.
20:07Awesome.
20:09That made my day.
20:12Where's those sticks?
20:13The skewers?
20:14Right there.
20:15Buddy threaded the pipe, cut it right.
20:17We put a few skewers in there to hold everything together so it's stable.
20:20Now it's time to finish up for the night.
20:22Tomorrow we have to assemble the trophy, paint it, and trim it.
20:26I think we did pretty good today.
20:28We could have did better.
20:29We need to be really careful about height.
20:30We added a layer of cake on that one tier.
20:33Is that going to mess?
20:34The seaplane door is only 48 by 48 inches.
20:37So, you know, we're building a big cake here.
20:38So we've got to make sure it fits right through that hole.
20:40Let's go rest and we've got another day tomorrow.
20:52Hey, what are you doing out here?
20:55Relaxing, enjoying the view.
20:57You know, I know you had a long day.
20:59Let's not talk about my day.
21:01I think you need a glass of wine.
21:03My favorite wine?
21:05I got a good one for you.
21:06Oh, good.
21:07Okay, my dear.
21:08June, man.
21:10This is a very special boy.
21:14To you.
21:14Taluz.
21:15Taluz.
21:15Okay?
21:16Let me see.
21:17Get cozy here.
21:19Ah, see?
21:20Okay, so...
21:21This is my thing.
21:22You see a vending machine.
21:24Looks easy.
21:25You press a button, your item comes out, and you call it a day.
21:29Baby, you know what...
21:29Who would have thought the amount of pieces and parts and problems and connections...
21:36When you put me in charge of vending, I didn't think, you know, it was going to be this hard.
21:40But now I find myself waking up at 6 o'clock in the morning and the first thing I do is look at my vending numbers.
21:44Like, that's sick.
21:45When you get this figured out, I'm telling you, the juice and that berry is going to be so sweet, it's going to be like nothing you ever ate.
21:54No matter what area of the business it is, every single job takes so much, and people think that things are easy.
22:03Do you know how drained I feel at the end of the day?
22:05And defeated.
22:06I never felt like this before.
22:08No matter how bad the day was the day before, tomorrow is a fresh start.
22:13Okay.
22:14Okay, cheers to you.
22:17Salute.
22:18Salute.
22:24So, maybe I could just cut, like, a small...
22:26How are we doing, guys?
22:27...or something.
22:28He's looking for the wash.
22:29Yeah, he just went off with the pipe.
22:33Where's Junior?
22:34Because he's going to flow.
22:34He's coming back.
22:36Junior's coming to the kick side this week.
22:38I'm excited to see his chops.
22:40Yo, where are you?
22:41I'm trying to make things work.
22:44For what?
22:46Excuse me.
22:46Uh, cake, man.
22:48Silver first.
22:49Yeah.
22:53Go in nice and tight.
22:54That's it.
22:55Boom.
22:56That thing ain't going nowhere.
22:57No, nowhere.
22:59This thing can be on the seaplane, on the pontoons, and it ain't going nowhere.
23:03It's a good thing that I got the pipe right.
23:05Finally, my dad will see that I can do stuff, and he'll treat me with a little more as, like,
23:09an adult, unless there's, like, a kid that doesn't know much.
23:12Why don't you paint them before, man?
23:15Because we're going to paint the whole thing.
23:17Hmm.
23:18Got it.
23:19But it's a good question.
23:21We still need to put the lobster on, put the finishing details, and then paint everything
23:25silver, add the medals and logos.
23:28It's a lot of work that's got to get done.
23:29Let's start.
23:30Yeah.
23:31What I want to do is get everything glued on, get the judge handles on, and then go.
23:35I'm trying to anchor the handles into the sides of the trophy, which has some challenges
23:41because I can't actually make the anchors as long as I'd like, and I'm concerned that
23:46they're going to fall off when they're on the plane and it's in the air.
23:51Are we just going to fully go straight paint?
23:53Yeah, we're just going to paint the whole thing.
23:55All right.
23:56Stay wet, boss man.
23:57I'm not...
23:57I got to put all the molds on, dude.
24:00All right.
24:01Lobster's on.
24:03Okay, so like this.
24:04This is a great cover.
24:05Take this, and I'm going to put that right on that seam.
24:09Don't go crazy because we ain't going to be able to paint it.
24:12We're using a steamer to kind of wet the chocolate a little so that whatever we make is going to
24:18stick on.
24:19If you're oversteaming, you can't paint it too much.
24:21It's going to paint.
24:22No, don't.
24:23I said no steam.
24:26We ain't going to be able to paint it.
24:28I promise you it'll paint this.
24:30When I'm in the decorating room, my employees respect me, not because I demand it, because
24:38I earned it.
24:39If I say jump, everybody says how high, except for Junior.
24:43Because the steam, the paint's not going to stick.
24:46My dad singled me out in front of everyone.
24:48It's annoying.
24:49It's stressful.
24:50I try to put my suggestions in, but I know he's not going to listen.
24:52Is this his way or the highway?
25:00Shouldn't be wetting on here because you're going to ruin the board.
25:03No, I'm not going to touch the board.
25:06I got to be tougher on Junior because I want him to push himself.
25:12I'm trying to activate his switch, where he knows he's going to seek and destroy like
25:17me.
25:18But secondly, I don't want my employees to think that this is my spoiled son that I'd
25:23like to get away with murder.
25:25If I said don't write it on the board, what would you say, Danny?
25:28Yes, sir.
25:30This looks great.
25:31I like this bottom.
25:32Yeah, I think this looks really nice.
25:34All right, the whole thing gets covered in silver.
25:37We got to be careful we put on this cake because, you know, the plane can only have so much weight
25:42on it, and it's us plus the cake.
25:46Whenever you go on a private jet, that's the only thing is you can't lie about your weight.
25:49You know what I'm saying?
25:51Hello?
25:51Hey, how you doing?
25:53Good.
25:54How are you?
25:54Good.
25:55This is Buddy.
25:56I'm just calling on the weight and dimensions of the plane.
26:01The total weight that can be on the plane is 1,600 pounds.
26:06I mean, come on.
26:07I've been losing weight.
26:08Me, the cake, and the boys, we're going to be fine.
26:10All right.
26:11And what about the door?
26:12So the space is four feet long and two feet wide.
26:18What do you mean, two feet wide?
26:20It's four by four.
26:22Two by four, yeah.
26:24Not two by four.
26:25It's four by four.
26:26It says four feet long and two feet wide.
26:30The cake is wider than that.
26:34It's wider than two feet wide?
26:36It is.
26:37It is.
26:37It is.
26:37It is.
26:39If the door for the plane is two by four, I'm going to have to cut this cake in half.
26:50I saw the door.
26:52It's four feet.
26:53It's not two feet wide.
26:54It's four by four.
26:56It says...
26:58Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:59Four feet by four feet.
27:00You're right.
27:01You're right.
27:03I knew it was four by four.
27:04I told the guy.
27:06What the hell do I know about the planes, right?
27:09The baker.
27:10Sicilians never forget.
27:11This has been a very eventful day.
27:16Yeah.
27:26Honestly, it might not matter if we can't take off.
27:28We can't take off.
27:30The winds are supposed to be pretty bad.
27:32So the weather report for tomorrow is not exactly, you know, sunshine and rainbows.
27:36It's going to be cloudy, windy.
27:38That really don't sit well for the cake.
27:40If the winds are bad, we might not be able to take off from an airport.
27:42How are we going to take off from a river?
27:44I'm being serious.
27:45But we still got a lot of little details that we got to put on.
27:49Maybe exactly.
27:49I'm going to cut this one right in.
27:51We got to really bring this cake together.
27:55So there's also the two medals?
27:57Yep.
27:57I'm really excited to go to this event, son.
28:01Are you?
28:03Yeah, it should be cool.
28:04If we make it there.
28:07Looks fine, right?
28:08I mean, if you were doing a coloring book, you've been coloring out of the lines.
28:13Let Ana do the front.
28:14You do the back.
28:17Front's already done, yeah?
28:18I've already done the back.
28:19And you're doing a perfectly nice job on the front.
28:28Beautiful.
28:28I think that looks great.
28:30Looks good.
28:31You guys just biked 100 miles.
28:33Here's your cake.
28:34I have a funny feeling that I'm going to get on the plane.
28:37Oh.
28:37I have a funny feeling, I'm telling you.
28:40Well, then you're going to be driving it.
28:50I am in desperate need of drivers.
28:53It's really going to help the business to have a more robust vending team.
28:57So, a couple weeks ago, I brought in someone to interview.
29:00He happens to be a fireman.
29:01Grace and Joey happen to know him.
29:03And he was so good at his interview, I asked them to bring in another one for me.
29:08My husband brought in a couple of the guys from the firehouse.
29:11Okay.
29:11When you're a firefighter, most of them don't have one job.
29:16I figure if they could drive a fire truck, then they could drive our truck.
29:21So, I said to Joe, send some guys over and let's see if it works out.
29:26Nice to meet you.
29:27Nice to meet you.
29:28This is Lisa.
29:29I'm Grace.
29:30Nice to meet you.
29:30So, you work with Joe.
29:32Correct.
29:32Yes.
29:33Oh, God help you.
29:35I didn't know they were going to be so cute.
29:39My schedule is one day on, three days off.
29:41So, it's very flexible.
29:43And I'm looking forward to possibly working.
29:46For being a firefighter, I was in the military.
29:48Oh, that's good too.
29:49So, how's your driving record?
29:50Oh, great.
29:51Have you hit anything with the fire truck?
29:54No, not yet.
29:54It's not cold, isn't it?
29:56You inspect before and report anything that you find.
29:59Wait, he couldn't report to you?
30:01Oh, that's the one we don't get yet.
30:03They're young, they're fit, they can carry the cake things.
30:07I think it could be a win-win.
30:09What'd you do with the Air Force?
30:11Security Forces, which is law enforcement.
30:14Okay.
30:14You can follow rules.
30:16Correct.
30:17So, when can you start?
30:21Got that in?
30:22Yeah.
30:23Yeah.
30:32Oh, man, look at that boat.
30:33Oh, my God, that boat's flying.
30:36This is the worst idea I think you've ever created, Dad.
30:39It's not going to be that bad.
30:41Trust me.
30:42All right, let's go.
30:44We've been on seaplanes, and it's not smooth, right?
30:46I mean, it's...
30:47No, we got caught in a storm, and we were dropping hundreds of feet at a time.
30:51I was hitting the ceiling, like, it was bad.
30:54Stupid idea.
30:56It is pretty windy.
30:58This is a good medium day.
31:00I want medium for you.
31:02It's a hell for me.
31:03I'm really nervous to actually fly on the seaplane.
31:05I'm more nervous about the cake.
31:07Three, two, one.
31:09You got it?
31:10Yep.
31:11Over the top?
31:12Easy, easy.
31:13We've got to make sure this cake is very, very secure.
31:16And we have to make sure I don't throw up on the cake, because I get airplane motion sickness.
31:21Guys, the sun's coming out.
31:22Look, it's going to be beautiful.
31:24You say that to the 10-foot weight that's going to smack us in the face.
31:2730-mile-per-hour winds.
31:28No, it's going to be all right.
31:29Trust me.
31:32Which way are the beams going?
31:34See, that's what slipped off.
31:36You see?
31:37Oh, my goodness.
31:40All right, that's it.
31:41Let's carry it.
31:41I always deliver.
31:45That's in my DNA.
31:47I don't know how to say no.
31:48So come hella high water, I'm getting this cake on a plane.
31:52Cap, we'll put it in.
31:53I currently see myself slipping.
31:55All right, all right.
31:55Very carefully, guys.
31:56And where do you want me?
31:57You're going to catch.
31:58I'm going to give it to you.
32:00Okay.
32:00Easy, easy.
32:01Let me go first.
32:02I'm going to get on first, Marco.
32:04Easy, easy, easy.
32:06Easy.
32:07Buddy, grab a corner.
32:08Yeah, I got here.
32:10No, no.
32:11Right, right, right, right, right.
32:13Get it sliding on the thing.
32:15It's higher.
32:15Higher, higher, higher.
32:17Ah, it's heavy.
32:18Come on, easy.
32:19Up in the corner, buddy.
32:20No, that corner.
32:21What the?
32:21You can down, down, down.
32:25What the?
32:26You can down, down, down.
32:28Yes.
32:29Angle it down.
32:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:31Got it.
32:31Oh, my God.
32:32You stupid ass.
32:33What the hell are you doing?
32:34It got stuck on me.
32:36The cake's on a plane.
32:38I have no doubt in my mind that the cake is going to make it there.
32:41I just hope it gets there in one piece.
32:43All right, I'll see you guys.
32:45Stay safe.
32:46Come on, now.
32:47Let's go.
32:48Come on, bro.
32:48Cake's on a plane.
32:50What could go wrong?
32:50Come on, bro.
32:51Cake's on a plane.
32:52What could go wrong?
32:54What could go wrong?
32:55We're right on the cusp of a smooth ride, I would suppose.
32:58It'll be an interesting flight.
33:00Yeah, buckle up, sir.
33:01All right.
33:01Where's the puke bags?
33:03I'm being serious.
33:04No, no.
33:04I'm not kidding, man.
33:05You guys ready to fire up?
33:07All right.
33:07Let's hit it, baby.
33:08There's no way we're actually doing this right now, dude.
33:11There's no way.
33:12Hold on, buddy.
33:13Woo-hoo!
33:15It's a little choppy as the takeoff, but I think we're going to make it to the event.
33:19I'm more worried about Marco throwing up on me.
33:23Why are we doing this?
33:25Why?
33:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
33:29Get in the air, please.
33:31Holy .
33:32Come on, now.
33:35There you go.
33:36Whoa.
33:38Holy .
33:39All the way up.
33:41Mother .
33:42Oh, my God.
33:46That's a sick view.
33:49Oh, wow.
33:50Dude, this is the coolest thing.
33:52It's going to be a long hour.
33:54Look, there's Hoboken right there.
33:56The best view.
33:58I see the bakery.
33:59If he throws up, he better throw up on the camera, guy.
34:02I'm just saying, you throw up forward.
34:04We got to get this cake there.
34:06I can't wait for the boys to see charity work.
34:10When you've given back, you make them smile, or you see how important it is spending time
34:15with them.
34:16You feel like a different person.
34:18Cake all right?
34:20Cake looks good.
34:21Looks like cake.
34:22Solid.
34:23Looking good.
34:30Looking good.
34:32Looking good, but it says, sorry, this machine has stepped early out of service.
34:36Yes, we're waiting for the key.
34:37I don't understand.
34:39I have had so many issues with this one.
34:41Since I started vending, it's come a long way.
34:44The gang's all here.
34:45Hi, guys.
34:46How are you?
34:47All right.
34:47I hired a new team, and now I've flown in one of our experts from Florida that knows
34:53all about our vending machine to come and train my guys down here.
34:57Okay.
34:58Here you go.
34:59All right.
35:00This is definitely a fresh start with a new vending team.
35:03I have everyone here that I need to do the proper training.
35:06So today is the day that we come together as a team and learn everything about vending.
35:10So just to let you guys know, when we walked in, the machine screen read, temporarily out
35:15of service.
35:16Wow.
35:16If you see it down like that, what you want to do is use your key, open the machine up.
35:22Any business, you have to reinvent yourself.
35:24You have to grow.
35:26So learning never stops.
35:28You see how it got black here?
35:29You never want to see that.
35:31That tells me someone stepped on it.
35:32You never want to step on it.
35:33That's a sneaker mark right there.
35:34It's not me.
35:35Just admit it.
35:36Okay.
35:37Right.
35:37I'm guilty.
35:38Okay.
35:38I'm not as tall as our guy.
35:40So you tell me and I get you a step stool.
35:43Which, yes.
35:44Unless you tell me I can't fix the problem.
35:47There you go.
35:47Yeah, you got it.
35:48But from where we were to where we are now, I've made a lot of changes.
35:53I've put things in order.
35:54And I feel that we're at a good place to now really grow the business.
35:59And that's what Lisa wants.
36:00Yeah.
36:00Well, Lisa wants.
36:01Lisa wants, Lisa gets.
36:02Yeah, there you go.
36:03All right.
36:04There you go.
36:04I got no choice there.
36:08Airtime, an hour.
36:13A lot better than sitting in traffic, boys.
36:16You're going to thank me tonight when you're sleeping in your bed.
36:19We're not landing in the water, eh?
36:21No.
36:22Oh, we can land in this, your big baby.
36:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
36:27Whoa.
36:27Whoa.
36:28Wait, something.
36:29Oh, my God.
36:30A little windy here.
36:34Oh, whoa, whoa.
36:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
36:35Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
36:41Please don't.
36:42Oh, my God.
36:43We took off okay.
36:45Now the only thing we've got to do is land this plane, and we're going to be A-okay.
36:49All right, all right.
36:50Hang on.
36:51We're almost there.
36:52Hang on.
36:58Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
37:00Okay, good?
37:01Okay, good?
37:01Okay, good?
37:01That's how you build a cake in the last, son.
37:12By sea, by air, by land.
37:15Carlo's Bakery delivers.
37:17The cake is beautiful, and I could have been prouder of my two boys for helping me make the
37:23cake and be at this event.
37:24Welcome, welcome to Hiatus Court.
37:30Thank you for coming, my best buddy.
37:32So great to see you.
37:33My mother always said it's in giving that we receive, and I think it's so important to
37:38give back.
37:38Those are life lessons that make you compassionate to people.
37:42Unbelievable.
37:43With the lobster and all the detail and all we see, the gold medals, everyone's going to
37:46love it.
37:52Hello.
37:52Hello.
37:52Hello.
37:54Hey.
37:58Hey.
37:58Carl Lewis.
37:59How you doing, man?
38:00Such a pleasure to meet you.
38:01Oh, my God.
38:02I am such a big fan.
38:03Well, I appreciate it.
38:04God bless what you do.
38:06I appreciate it.
38:06I get it back from them because you're not going to get a better friend than a buddy.
38:09I know.
38:09So it's just been a great relationship for 30 years, a bit involved.
38:1330 years.
38:13I'm excited about it.
38:14Look at that.
38:14Carl, thank you so much, man.
38:15Such a pleasure to meet you, man.
38:17Okay.
38:17I liked Carl Lewis before, but after knowing that he's been coming to this event and supporting
38:23this organization, this is the thing that makes me think even more of him.
38:27How are you doing?
38:28Good to meet you.
38:29Buddy Valastro.
38:30I am.
38:31How are you doing today?
38:32Good.
38:32My name is Gwen.
38:34These are my sons, Buddy.
38:36Buddy.
38:36Buddy.
38:37Buddy Jr.
38:37Yeah, and Marco.
38:39And Marco.
38:40It's a father and son trip.
38:42It's kind of like a father and son trip.
38:44Spending time with the buddies was the best part of the day.
38:47How are you doing, old buddy?
38:48My name's Joshua.
38:49My name's Matthew.
38:50The pleasure's all mine.
38:52My mom loves your show, by the way.
38:53I appreciate that.
38:55Before you get here and before you see it, you really don't get it.
38:59You can't even say what it is.
39:01It's just a great feeling.
39:02We're actually in the movie, me and him.
39:04Oh, cool.
39:04Yeah.
39:05There's a movie called Champions starring Woody Harrelson.
39:07Oh, that's awesome.
39:08And what do you do?
39:10I work at the Star Market Bakery.
39:12Oh, awesome.
39:13So what do you like to bake?
39:14Baked Alaska.
39:15Oh, I love a baked Alaska.
39:18Having that personal connection was the best part of the day.
39:29Good afternoon, everybody.
39:32Woo!
39:32How happy are we that we've got all these buddies in this tent?
39:40I had a new friend, and he's got a spirit of generosity unmatched.
39:46Legendary chef, Buddy Valasco.

40:25So I got a little surprise for you guys coming here.
40:28This cake came by land, it came by sea, and it came by air.
40:37How do we like this cake, ladies and gentlemen?
40:40Look at this cake.
40:41My goodness gracious.
40:42We wanted to create a trophy because you guys
40:45are true champions in what you do.
40:47Who wants me some cake?
40:48Buddy, there we go.
40:55All right, here we go.
40:57Come on, he's telling you to go.
41:02He's telling me to go, go.
41:04Seeing my boys interacting, Buddy had the one little boy
41:09who just kept hugging him and didn't want him to go.
41:13Like, that stuff that he'll never forget.
41:16He'll never forget.
41:19Never forget.
41:21That's why we do what we do, son.
41:24Seeing this little kid and, like, it shows you
41:26the value of everything, of why I'm there, what we're doing.
41:30And this is a really great feeling.
41:32So this is Junior's second week as an intern at the factory.
41:35And I got to say, he worked hard.
41:38He really did everything he had to do.
41:40And I couldn't be proud of your son.
41:43My dad is probably one of the worst dancers I've ever seen.
41:46But he thinks he's good.
41:48So, you know, we're all happy.
41:49As long as he's happy, I'm happy.
