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,
00:14and pies, and cookies, and pizza.
00:17In this enormous factory where I work side-by-side with my family...
00:21Well, I told you. I 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,
00:32when your family's by your side.
00:34It's a piece of cake.
00:46All righty. Let's go see Steve.
00:48Summers are always busy,
00:50but this week is especially hectic
00:52because on top of everything else going on with work.
00:55Junior's got his prom and his graduation.
00:58These two gentlemen are going to the prom.
01:00Got you.
01:01So we need tuxedos.
01:03The boys are going to the prom.
01:04They got to dress sharp like they're dead.
01:06So I'm going to take them and get some nice tuxedos.
01:09Let me see.
01:11Perfect fit.
01:12Nice fit.
01:13I do look good in anything, so...
01:16Oh my God, I'm going to throw up.
01:19I know where he gets it from.
01:22And if you know me,
01:23they're not just going to wear any suits.
01:25I mean, look, you might not know by me wearing my whites every day,
01:28but this guy's a stylish guy.
01:30That's sharp.
01:31That looks nice on you.
01:32I want them to get what they like.
01:34They got to feel comfortable in it.
01:36Are we going to prom, too?
01:38I never went to my senior prom.
01:40Oh, that's right.
01:41You went.
01:42I did.
01:43Yeah, you probably had a great time, too.
01:44I did.
01:45That looks fantastic.
01:46That looks pretty nice.
01:47And if that's not enough,
01:49Neil Patrick Harris is turning 50.
01:51And I got a call from his husband, David Berka,
01:53about making a fantastic cake for them.
01:57Always, man.
01:58I'll come and pick it up soon.
01:59Thank you so much.
02:00Pleasure.
02:01How far is this drive, dude?
02:09New York City.
02:10Oh, God.
02:11Who's Neil Patrick Harris again?
02:13Neil Patrick Harris is an icon of the 1990s and 2000s.
02:18We're talking Doogie Howser, Starship Troopers,
02:22How I Met Your Mother.
02:23I mean, this guy's been everywhere.
02:26David!
02:27Hey, hey!
02:28How you doing, bro?
02:29How you doing, buddy?
02:30Good to see you, my friend.
02:31Good to see you.
02:32How are you?
02:33Good, good.
02:34These are my sons, Buddy Junior and Marco.
02:36I got Junior doing his internship,
02:39and I really want him to learn every aspect of the business,
02:43including some of our really high-profile client meetings.
02:47So what can I do for you?
02:48Neil's turning 50, so I'm looking to do some awesome,
02:52extravagant cake for his birthday,
02:54and I just want to maybe throw some stuff at you.
02:56So why don't we start with the easy things?
02:58What would be the first question?
03:00I'm gonna, like, help him.
03:01Hmm, okay.
03:02Uh, how many people?
03:04About 200.
03:06Gotta be big.
03:07On its 50th birthday, he's old now.
03:09Like, he's an old, old man.
03:11What filling do you think?
03:12He really loves vanilla.
03:14So I would say, like, vanilla?
03:15Like a funfetti?
03:16Like, you know, we could do, like, little sprinkles in there.
03:19Why not?
03:20Yeah, it's perfect.
03:21It would be fun if it sort of lit up in maybe some way.
03:24Yep.
03:25I have a logo, this 50 logo that we designed just for this event.
03:28He loves magic.
03:30Maybe some magic element?
03:32I don't know, like a top hat or a rabbit or cards,
03:35you know, because he loves magic.
03:37Like, maybe the way there's floating tears
03:39or it looks like it's an illusion, you know what I'm trying to say?
03:41Yeah.
03:42I don't want to make it too hocusy-pocusy,
03:45but I want to put some magic elements in it.
03:48You're gonna be doing flowers?
03:49There's gonna be some beautiful flowers.
03:50Yeah, there'll be lots of flowers.
03:51So flowers, magic, floating.
03:53Big.
03:54Big.
03:55Maybe light up.
03:5650 logo.
03:57Lights.
03:58A big centerpiece for everyone to go,
04:00wow, look at that.
04:01Uh, when's it gonna happen?
04:03June 15th.
04:04Ooh.
04:05This Saturday?
04:06Prom is on Friday and my graduation party's on Saturday.
04:09We got his prom, graduation.
04:12Do you think you can do it?
04:14Flowers take a long time to make.
04:16It's gonna be tight, but for you guys,
04:19come on, we love you guys, you know that.
04:21You guys are gonna knock it out of the park.
04:23That's in less than four days.
04:24But in his business, you never get days off.
04:27So the boys gotta learn that work comes before play.
04:31Give my best to Neil and the kids.
04:33Of course, of course.
04:34Thank you guys so much.
04:35June 15th.
04:36June 15th.
04:37Busy week.
04:38We ain't gonna let you down.
04:46Hello.
04:47What's up, buddy?
04:48How are we doing?
04:49Good.
04:50Great.
04:51All right.
04:52Grace, pay attention.
04:54Meeting is starting.
04:55Very busy today.
04:56Very busy today.
04:57Okay?
04:58Just eating quickity-quackity.
04:59Exactly.
05:00I'm out of here in 10 minutes, so.
05:01I'm happy that Sofia is in our meeting today.
05:04Yeah.
05:05She finished school.
05:07She's gonna be working alongside her brother.
05:09You got your prom.
05:11You got your-
05:13Graduation party.
05:14I have to leave in 10 minutes to do my senior project presentation.
05:18Junior, don't fail your senior project.
05:20Go get dismissed.
05:22I still don't know what I want.
05:24College, work, I don't know what to do.
05:26So working with my dad and doing this internship is definitely helping me out.
05:30So I'm gonna continue to work here over the summer.
05:32And hopefully that helps me make my decision a little easier.
05:35You got a prom date?
05:36Yeah.
05:37Friend or?
05:38Friend.
05:39Friend.
05:40Just friend.
05:41He's a single guy.
05:43What can I say?
05:44Take after his old man.
05:45He's a charmer.
05:46I don't think he's gonna have a problem getting a prom date.
05:48I'm just saying.
05:49I have no comments.
05:52Now that we got the fun stuff out of the way, let's start with business.
05:57This week we have a cake for Neil Patrick Harris.
06:00I grew up watching him.
06:01I did too.
06:02I thought he was hot.
06:04I don't think you're his type.
06:07I'm not too worried.
06:09All right.
06:10The other thing that I've been trying to do, I have an idea.
06:13I know that we ship cakes, right?
06:16I want to ship, like, two-tiered cakes.
06:20And I've been thinking about engineering a box.
06:23You see how they handle these packages?
06:25Like a football.
06:26Upside down on this side.
06:28I've actually seen a delivery guy take a light box
06:31and literally kick it like it was a soccer ball to the front door.
06:34Well, I'll make it heavy enough where he can't drop kick it.
06:36You know, if I could figure out how to ship a two-tiered cake,
06:40it could mean a lot of money for the business.
06:43All right, guys.
06:44Let's do it.
06:52All right, everybody, come over.
06:53Team meeting.
06:54Team meeting.
06:55Neil loves magic.
06:57I'm thinking, like, a tiered cake.
06:59Whimsical and magical.
07:02The colors are gonna be jewel tones.
07:05They're gonna have some magnificent floral pieces,
07:08maybe some ornate huffing.
07:11Cognac peonies.
07:13Purple ranunculus.
07:16Different lavenders and purple hydranias.
07:19Black magic roses.
07:21Eucalyptus.
07:22So you're looking for a lot of flowers, then?
07:25A lot of flowers.
07:27We know that this is gonna be a lot of work.
07:30Maybe tedious work, not heavy work,
07:32but it's gonna be very, very long hours
07:35making all kinds of flowers.
07:37Buddy said he wants roses, ranunculus, hydrangeas.
07:40You know, when we hear those things, we, like, quiver a little bit.
07:43We have those rings that we never used.
07:45Yeah, no, those are amazing.
07:47And the original plan for those was to enhance the gravity-defying effect
07:53by wrapping flowers around them,
07:55and this sounds like the perfect cake for that.
07:57How many tiers-damn-real cake do you want to do?
07:59It's gonna be big. It's gotta be, like, five, six tiers.
08:06So for Neil's 50th birthday,
08:08we're doing a six-tier cake,
08:10and it's gonna be covered in beautiful sugar flowers.
08:13It's gonna have some magic tricks on it.
08:15So we're gonna ice the cake in great fondant,
08:17but then we're gonna adorn it in jewel-colored flowers everywhere.
08:22Anna's gonna sculpt a rabbit, some magic cards,
08:26and these little crystals that we're gonna kind of, like, put all in the cake.
08:30Then we're gonna separate this cake with these metal rings
08:33to give it, like, a floating illusion.
08:35It's gonna be like a magic trick.
08:37Start with the flowers, all right?
08:39Let's go.
08:49For me, this is my kind of cake.
08:51I think they're gonna be wowed by when they see this.
08:53We're putting a lot of flowers on this cake.
08:55Certain people are gonna roll them out.
08:57Certain people are gonna cut them.
08:58Certain people are gonna shape them and mold them.
09:01This cake, we're doing gum paste flowers.
09:03Now, with gum paste, it gets hard.
09:05So you can get, like, a perfect flower the way you want it to bloom,
09:10but then if it gets hit, it cracks.
09:14How can I help?
09:15You can help me one sec.
09:16This summer, I am back here at the factory helping,
09:20and I wanna really show my dad that I can be of use to help everyone.
09:28You mix a color, cut it in half to see that it all went in.
09:32Yep.
09:33Okay?
09:34Working with Sophia, it touches my heart.
09:36It reminds me of the days of me and my dad working side-by-side on a bench,
09:40you know, rolling pasta chutz.
09:42Pasta chutz is a little cream-filled Italian pastry.
09:45We would just make pasta chutz.
09:48You're gonna take this, man,
09:50and you're gonna kinda squish it around, okay?
09:54I need 40 like that.
09:56So every flower is different.
09:58It starts by petals and petals.
09:59A ranunculus starts by, like, a four-petal cutter.
10:03And I try to get the edge really, really fine,
10:06and then it has, like, this greenish-conish center.
10:10When using gum-paste petals,
10:12you have to keep them under, like, like a little mat,
10:15and then we put, like, a damp rag so that it doesn't dry up.
10:18Once you form it, it sets and it stays.
10:21And it's just so many layers and layers of petals
10:26that really make a ranunculus go over the top.
10:29We need 140 of these,
10:31and this is only one kind of flower
10:33we're putting on this cake.
10:35Good?
10:36Yep.
10:37You know that when I make flowers, I'm happy?
10:40Yes.
10:41It calms me. It soothes the beast.
10:43Yes.
10:44When I make a flower,
10:45all of a sudden I can hear that, like,
10:47beautiful melody in my head,
10:49and I forget about my problems,
10:51and I'm just like,
10:52look at how gorgeous this is.
10:56I could say I've done a lot of hard things
10:58at the bakery,
10:59but this is definitely the worst thing
11:00I've ever done at the bakery.
11:01I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
11:03I hate it.
11:04Whatever it is, I don't know.
11:05I hate it.
11:12Flower-making ranks on my list
11:16as the worst possible thing for me.
11:18I love actual flowers.
11:20Me making them, not so much.
11:23Making gum paste flowers makes me stop
11:27and literally smell the roses.
11:32Doing a really heavy floral cake
11:34is always a little concerning.
11:37Besides the roses and the peonies,
11:39we are also making hydrangea,
11:42which are a wonderful filler flower
11:44and the bane of my existence,
11:45which is why I'm trying not to get too involved
11:47in the flower making.
11:48So I'm making my gummy crystals.
11:52It's a mixture of seaweed powder
11:55and a whole lot of sugar
11:57and a little bit of water.
11:58And as it sets up,
11:59you get these beautiful crystal surfaces
12:03that you can carve with a knife.
12:05Do we have enough flowers?
12:06Do you think we have enough flowers?
12:07I don't know how they're gonna put in the top.
12:10That is my question.
12:12Who wants to send it like that?
12:14Together?
12:15He's gonna crack.
12:19So the top one we gotta do in three
12:21because he wants it high.
12:23The middle one we gotta do regular, just two.
12:26We talked about trying to incorporate
12:28an actual magic illusion into the cake.
12:31So our nod is a white rabbit
12:34where it looks like it's leaping in midair.
12:37So I've had to structure all the weight
12:40to flow through the breastbone
12:42and the two front feet.
12:43Let's put that cake together again.
12:45So what I'd like to do with that bottom tier then
12:47is have it fondanted
12:49and then I'm gonna carve it out
12:51after it's been fondanted.
12:53While the rest of the team
12:54is working on the flowers,
12:56I gotta get this cake started.
12:58Okay.
12:59The gummy crystals are going to add
13:05a real feeling of light to the cake.
13:09So I'm carving away parts of the cake tier
13:12so that I can put both LED lights
13:15and my gummy crystals into it.
13:18Wait a second.
13:28The 12 is supposed to be this tier
13:32and the 14 is supposed to be that tier.
13:37You told me to make the middle tier taller than the rest.
13:39I know, but I get the way it would logically work,
13:42but carve this down.
13:44We're gonna lose the whole shape of our cake.
13:47We gotta pop this off.
13:49Usually you go from fat to skinny straight up,
13:53but because we're trying to, like, defy gravity,
13:56he didn't realize it.
13:58And he's stacking it out of order.
14:00And he ain't got time for it.
14:02This cake is already in bad shape.
14:08I love Neil and David, right?
14:10And I want to make a great cake for them
14:11because they're friends.
14:13But there's gonna be a lot of other people there
14:16who are gonna see this cake,
14:18and I want this to be the right representation
14:20of what I do.
14:22Okay, Marl, it's all you.
14:24Yep.
14:25Okay, Danny, let it go.
14:26So we're gonna take the fondant off the tiers,
14:29and we're gonna recover them.
14:31I'm gonna switch the tiers and stack them therein
14:34so that they're in the order that I want them,
14:36and we're gonna get through this cake.
14:38I'm not the kind of guy to say, ah, it's fine.
14:40I'm the kind of guy that says, no, I want to fix it.
14:43It's gotta be perfect.
14:44I'm about perfection.
14:45Sick.
14:46It's gonna be a little good look.
14:47It's gonna be perfect is what it's gonna be.
14:49When you're sculpting something out of a rigid material,
14:56in this case chocolate,
14:58you have to take a little bit of extra care in the details
15:01so that it doesn't look too smooth or have too many hard edges.
15:06And so I have a fingering tool,
15:09and it's just a little curved stylus
15:11that allows you to create a pleasant texture.
15:14Get some brushes and get a parchment paper.
15:18So to finish the flowers,
15:19they need a little bit of airbrush
15:21to give it a little bit of vibrancy.
15:23This is Hawaiian blue.
15:24This is regular blue.
15:25We spray with edible food color.
15:27I mean, I think you gotta go heavier with it.
15:30There's two ways of coloring a flower.
15:33You could use a petal dust, or you can airbrush it with it.
15:36I like a combo.
15:37Certain things look better with the petal dust.
15:40Other things look better with the airbrush.
15:43The airbrush is definitely faster.
15:45I think that that looks good.
15:47Like it's really rich in jewel tones.
15:50Okay.
15:51You know, that's done.
15:52I have a palette that I kind of like, so I'm pretty happy.
16:05Buddy, your rocks guy Nick is here.
16:07All right, bring him in.
16:08Okay.
16:09So Nick is my box guy.
16:11He's been my box guy for about 10 years.
16:13And I want to talk to him about how we got to design this box
16:17so that I can send a two-tiered cake anywhere in the country.
16:20But it hasn't worked out very well for us so far.
16:23You know what they say, return to sender?
16:26This is what we got returned.
16:27Ah!
16:30Whenever you come here, we always have a challenge.
16:32What are we looking to do?
16:33Have this idea to ship two-tiered cakes anywhere in the country.
16:38If I could ship a two-tiered cake and we change the game, nobody's doing it.
16:43What is the weight of the cake going to be, Buddy Around?
16:46I'd say it's got to be 10 to 20 pounds.
16:51But if I can't deliver on the cake being exactly like if you picked it up at a bakery, it ain't gonna work.
16:59This box is one of the most important parts of it.
17:02A two-tiered cake is a lot more visual.
17:05You could charge more money for it.
17:07The transaction size from a one-tiered cake could be like 50 bucks.
17:11You make that a two-tier, it could be like 150 bucks.
17:15You can make the outside of the box fit nice and snug in here.
17:19And then on the sides, we're gonna put a piece of dry ice on this side and this side,
17:23so it'll really keep everything nice and cold.
17:25We're gonna have a quarter of an inch play on both sides.
17:28Is that gonna be okay?
17:29I'll ship a couple to myself and see how they last.
17:33Give me a few days with that.
17:34You got it.
17:35No, don't rush.
17:36Just have it tomorrow.
17:37No rush, but I hope you got it.
17:39Thank you very much, Buddy.
17:40I appreciate it.
17:41I appreciate it.
17:43You got it.
17:53Oh, Frank Gooch.
17:55Grab him out and come by the warehouse.
17:58I'm by the corn syrup.
18:00Junior's graduating this week and we're having a huge party at the house
18:04and he's on his third week interning here.
18:07I want to really initiate Buddy into the bakery and teach him what it's like to be part of the Carlos family.
18:14We got a little secret mission here.
18:16Uh-oh.
18:17Oh, boy.
18:18You know, Junior's been showing some promise and everything else
18:20and I think it's time we initiate him in the club.
18:23We've been pranking each other for years at the bakery.
18:26It's kind of like a rite of passage.
18:28We do it Hoboken style.
18:30We do it at the old bakery.
18:31Off the roof.
18:32A light initiation or a...
18:34Football initiation.
18:35Flower, water, you know, something like that.
18:36All right, so nothing too crazy.
18:38No molasses.
18:39Yeah, no.
18:40No molasses.
18:41I'll bring them to the back of the bakery.
18:43I'll set them up right behind the door.
18:45You guys will be set.
18:46You clear this with your wife?
18:48I don't want to be on her list.
18:49Whatever you do, don't tell my wife.
18:51I don't even want any words of this.
18:53I ain't got to tell my wife because she doesn't like our pranks.
18:56And Mama Bear's is protective of her cubs.
18:59Go to the bakery now.
19:01Go get set up.
19:02I'll be there in a half an hour.
19:04I'm about to bang.
19:05Let's do it.
19:06Let's do it.
19:07All right?
19:08Shut up.
19:09Don't tell nobody.
19:10Nobody.
19:11Silencio.
19:12Okay?
19:21What a flavor.
19:22It's been a while since we pulled a prank.
19:24We've gotten people here for their birthdays
19:26with getting them with a pie in the face.
19:28But, you know, with this one,
19:30it's got to get coordinated a little bit.
19:32Everything should come together.
19:33We'll get them.
19:34We'll get them.
19:35We'll get them.
19:36I forgot how high this was.
19:37So, how's the project going so far?
19:41Are you feeling good about it or no?
19:43So Junior thinks that I want to capture, like,
19:45a special moment of him by the back door,
19:48and I want to take a picture of him.
19:50But he doesn't know what's coming from above.
19:53It's a lot, but it's happening.
19:56Well, you know what?
19:57Let me get a picture of you.
19:58You could give it to your senior project.
20:00Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
20:02Wait.
20:03One.
20:04Two.
20:05Three.
20:06Okay, go.
20:15I hate you.
20:17Oh, I got them good.
20:19I actually hate you.
20:20You're in my world now, Junior.
20:23I hate you.
20:24I hate everyone.
20:25You're in my world now, Junior.
20:26I hate all of you.
20:27Junior.
20:28I hate all of you.
20:29Welcome to Carlos Bakery.
20:31We got them good, too, man.
20:32I hate all of you.
20:34Mission accomplished.
20:35You're in my world.
20:37Get used to it.
20:38I can't believe I fell for this.
20:41My dad's got to sleep with his eyes open
20:43because I'm going to get him back.
20:44Welcome to the family.
20:45All right, Junior?
20:46We're not going to do it again.
20:47There's nobody else.
20:48We're always going to sleep with one eye open now.
20:50It's day two, and I got all hands on deck.
21:06It's time to place these 600 flowers.
21:09Peonies, ranunculus, roses, hydranea, foliage, leaves everywhere.
21:16People ain't going to believe these are sugar flowers.
21:19They're going to think they're real.
21:20Couple just like this.
21:22You know what I'm saying?
21:23So I could just go like...
21:26I don't need a three here, but just one.
21:28You know what I'm saying?
21:29Only here you don't see.
21:30I got to make it the way I got to make it.
21:32Yeah, I got it.
21:33Placing the flowers on a cake is always challenging.
21:37This cake is sitting on some floating flowers.
21:41So you have to fill in this whole gap.
21:44And you're balancing foliage.
21:45You're balancing colors.
21:47Is dimension?
21:49Is one flower sticking out a little bit?
21:51It's all those elements.
21:53You got to have an eye for it.
21:54Basically, a floor is doing a centerpiece.
21:57I mean, it looks good.
22:06This is my jam.
22:07This is my kind of cake.
22:09I'm seeing the flowers come together and it looks fantastic.
22:12I mean, the colors are just popping.
22:14To me, it like hits on all cylinders.
22:16It reminds me of the wedding cake days
22:18with the flowers and the details and the tears.
22:21It's my favorite kind of cake.
22:23See how all the components, everything matters.
22:26See by adding a little bit of violet on there,
22:28it picks up from the flowers.
22:30We got to move the cake down lower
22:32so that I can touch the top tiers and put the flowers on.
22:36This could go really bad.
22:38I want the cake here.
22:39I want that card here.
22:41Well, I guess we're just going.
22:43Moving the cake from the table to the dolly,
22:45it still looks unstable.
22:46Can you imagine driving in the city of New York,
22:48potholes and all that stuff?
22:49I don't know if it's going to make it.
22:51In more?
22:53Yeah.
22:54Marka.
23:05Rise and shine, cupcake.
23:07You have a tire.
23:08Time for you to get up.
23:11Get ready.
23:12We'll go get your brother up.
23:13Junior's graduation party's coming up.
23:15and Lisa has a ton of different vendors
23:17showing up this afternoon.
23:19So I gotta get the backyard 100% ready.
23:23Come on, we gotta go fix the yard quick.
23:25The yard ain't gonna scrub itself, son.
23:27Could I have hired somebody to do this? Yes.
23:32But I wanna teach the boys you gotta do things yourself.
23:39Someone ordered their chariot?
23:41Are you kidding me?
23:43No more on the hands and knees.
23:45He actually called you and told you
23:47to bring this contraption to my house today.
23:49Dude, doesn't this look beautifully clean already?
23:52Can you eat food off my tiles?
23:54I would not recommend it right now,
23:56but after we scrub it, yes I would.
23:58But it's clean.
23:59I'm speechless.
24:01Hey, the boys need to learn the value of hard work.
24:04You have a little crazy in you, so...
24:08I gotta lose.
24:10What?
24:12I didn't...
24:13Get ahead.
24:14Get ahead.
24:15I wasn't gonna spray you.
24:16Get ahead.
24:17Get ahead.
24:18Cause I'll go get another hose right now.
24:20You're not a little crazy in you.
24:21I don't think I'm...
24:22You think I'm crazy?
24:23You're an anomaly.
24:24That's right, boys.
24:25No free rides in life.
24:27All right, that's it.
24:28That's good.
24:29But it looks good now.
24:30Don't you feel better that it's clean?
24:31You could eat off this floor.
24:32It was clean before.
24:33You could eat off the floor.
24:34It was clean before.
24:35No, it wasn't.
24:36Buddy.
24:37Yeah.
24:38Nick the box guy is here.
24:39Hey, my box guy.
24:40Hey, buddy.
24:41How are you, man?
24:42How's everything?
24:43Good.
24:44How's everything?
24:45How's everything?
24:46So I did some test shipping to my house just to see if the two tiers are gonna work.
25:11And it's pretty banged up.
25:13Let's open it.
25:14Let's see how we did.
25:15Let's see.
25:16They're heavy.
25:17Oh, my God.
25:20Luckily, last night I had an epiphany on how a two-tiered cake could stay straight no matter
25:27what happens to it.
25:28Ship test this didn't work.
25:29I think the cakes are bouncing around too much.
25:32I think that we need to cut little tabs that we can push in on the corners.
25:40Okay.
25:41Square board here, right?
25:42Okay.
25:43And then we had little push tabs that pushed in from the corners.
25:47Right.
25:49Like that.
25:50Okay.
25:51It would lock the board down to the bottom.
25:54Theoretically, it should work.
25:56And if I could secure the board to the box, even if it flips, it should stay intact.
26:03Okay.
26:04If I use a board that is very sturdy, maybe I could screw a stick and use it like an icicle
26:15puff.
26:16And then if I can make the box stay attached to the bottom of the board, I got magic in
26:23a bottle.
26:24So again, if this is the board, the cake is secured to the board with a stick going through
26:31it.
26:32And this is the first tier.
26:33And then the second tier.
26:35Okay.
26:36So Nick knows a lot about boxes, but I know a lot about cakes.
26:43And with this tweak, this thing ain't going nowhere.
26:46Come on.
26:47See what I'm saying?
26:48See what I'm saying?
26:49Yeah.
26:50Let me see.
26:51I just want to see.
26:52See what I'm saying?
26:53You know what?
26:54That's a great idea.
26:55That will hold the board down.
26:56And you're saying obviously the cake is not going to fall off the board because of your
26:59lollipop concept.
27:00Come on, Papa.
27:01Come to Papa.
27:04These tabs inside, it's going to keep the board down.
27:08The cake is glued to the stick.
27:11Okay.
27:12And to the board.
27:13So that ain't coming off if it stays frozen.
27:16And then lastly, put this guy on here.
27:22And if my calculations are correct, Nick.
27:37Let's find out.
27:38Look at that.
27:40Kept it down.
27:42I'm going to send the cake to my house so that I see how it gets there.
27:45If you can't make it from Jersey City to Monville, it ain't going to make it to California.
27:50Perfect.
27:51It works.
27:52Nice job, man.
27:53Nice.
27:54So I was thinking that.
27:55I think we need to get dad back.
27:56Thinking about a way to get my dad back.
27:57There's no better place to get him than at my graduation party.
27:59He's got to watch his back.
28:00He's got to see if his eyes are open.
28:01We're coming for him.
28:02We have the grad party here.
28:03So there's going to be a lot of people.
28:04We could plan something crazy.
28:05What about something like this?
28:06This is a little crazy, but I was thinking we take every single tire off every single one of his cars and just leave them on wood blocks of his cars.
28:11How are you going to do that without him seeing?
28:12That's a horrible idea.
28:13How about with putting him in?
28:14It's got to be something that isn't destructive, something that's easy to clean, something that's funny, but also going to piss him off.
28:19How about when we put like a bucket?
28:20Put him in a port-a-potty?
28:21And then push it over.
28:22No.
28:23No.
28:24He'd probably kill you.
28:25He wouldn't even, like, kick you out of the house.
28:26I think this.
28:39How about something like a fishing line on the floor that he can't see when he walks?
28:44He kicks it, and something falls down on him.
28:48that he can't see when he walks he kicks it and something falls down on him no yeah he's we're
28:53gonna get him back that's it yeah it's just a friendly prank war we'll call it so we'll get
28:58him get back i'm sure he's gonna try to get us again then we're gonna get him again it's just
29:02never gonna hit what if we used like a trojan horse what the hell does that why don't i just
29:09tackle them in the pool why not water balloons i like that idea what are you guys doing your son
29:19keeps talking about trojan horses what are trojan horses that's what i yeah you guys are we gonna
29:25get that back i think the water balloon i'm all in on this we're doing the water balloons why don't you
29:30fill the water balloons with ice cold water fill up the water balloons now put them in the refrigerator
29:34so they get nice and cold it'll be like a nice water like a like an ice bath okay it's gonna be
29:40hard to get him back because he's he's always he's always looking he's always and he always he's he
29:44knows the surrounding he always has thoughts running through his head about what's gonna happen and how
29:48he could get them back right away before we get him he's probably gonna know how to get us back when
29:52we get him he's always three steps ahead no matter what you get extra points if you hit him in the head
30:04okay so that's good now i'm gonna start working on the top
30:12and here today's the big day we got to put the finishing touches of the flowers on
30:17get it to the city and get back for junior's graduation party just another saturday
30:22this is beautiful everybody did an amazing job in this cake really really good job uh all right
30:36i'm gonna put some lights in this thing the final bit of magic for this cake is that it's going to light
30:44up with the led lights underneath these gummy crystals the head are actually a traditional japanese candy
30:51uh they get carved into geode style crystals and then they can be attached to the cake
30:58they'll glow like they're lit from within
31:08so i have some concerns about the truck because this thing wobbles a lot i don't think it's gonna go
31:15anywhere well i mean it's gonna wobble but okay i mean i mean again you're braver than i am
31:23that one looks a little in the top it's gonna be okay man it's just okay i hope so everybody's
31:30concerned because of the rings right the rings is making this cake go whoa whoa whoa whoa go cut me a
31:38couple more of those seven and a halves there are a few dowels in this cake but we need to put more
31:42on a top tier to keep it steady ready easy easy guys guys so the dowels are gonna act as a support
31:52system so when the cake wants to rock it's gonna push down on the dowels on that side it's gonna want
31:57to go the other way and there's gonna be dowels on that side it's basically just how we structurally
32:02support a cake i feel like we always run into this problem of stability here that top did not
32:07look stable when you picked it up let's jump up there junior jump up on the table okay look at me
32:14easy last thing and then we're gonna wrap this up we're gonna put all the sticks in we're gonna
32:20deliver it go on the other side buddy hopefully this is enough to keep it stable well let's hope
32:26when we take these out the cake doesn't collapse i got you you're bending it a lot
32:32okay all right okay now we're gonna slide it easy ready up up easy okay easy easy easy okay and then
32:44down all right oh my god dad that's not that in the truck let's go ahead dip it now wait there's a lot
32:54of flowers in my way okay so this case really tall and the supports on the one tier are just little
33:02things you know what give me some skewers all right this one we're gonna do here
33:11it's very wobbly so i'm kind of scared to see if it'll uh make it all the way there
33:16i don't think it will make it it's very wobbly that high just enough for him to pull out okay now down
33:24put it down put it down
33:27no one turned on this fridge put it on now it's gonna get cold
33:34pull pull pull get the edge up straight straight straight now down down down easy low we make it slide

34:07onto the truck time to take this thing to the city and get it all the way home
34:25so we're about to open the door and see how this cake got here and i hope it's in one piece
