Buddy: COMING UP ON "CAKE BOSS"...

LET'S ROCK IT OUT. ALL RIGHT.

IT'S MAKE‐A‐WISH WEEK AT CARLO'S BAKERY, BABY.

THANKS FOR HELPING ME.

Buddy: WE'RE MAKING FOUR KIDS' WISHES COME TRUE.

YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

I'M A CANCER SURVIVOR.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA MAKE A HOT‐AIR‐BALLOON CAKE FOR THE MAKE‐A‐WISH WALK.

I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.

IT'S AN INSPIRATIONAL CAKE.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE FUN.

WHO WANTS TO THROW A PIE AT COUSIN ANTHONY?

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

HEY!

[ LAUGHTER ]

THIS IS CARLO'S BAKERY.

EVERY WEEK, THOUSANDS OF CAKES AND PASTRIES

GO OUT THESE DOORS.

THIS IS THE CREW ‐‐ MIA FAMIGLIA.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS BAKERY TO THE TOP.

THEY CALL ME BUDDY. I'M THE BOSS.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

TODAY I GOT A MEETING WITH TOM AND KIM

FROM THE MAKE‐A‐WISH FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY.

HEY, TOM. BUDDY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

THE MAKE‐A‐WISH FOUNDATION GRANTS SICK CHILDREN WISHES.

HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

GOING GREAT. THANKS FOR COMING OUT.

I KNOW TOM EVER SINCE MY NIECE BARTOLINA WAS OFFERED A WISH.

BARTOLINA'S MY SISTER GRACE AND BROTHER‐IN‐LAW JOEY'S DAUGHTER.

SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONDITION

THAT MADE HER HAVE SEIZURES.

SHE HAD TO HAVE A MAJOR BRAIN SURGERY TO REMOVE A TUMOR,

AND, BLESS HER HEART, SHE'S BEEN SEIZURE‐FREE FOR TWO YEARS.

THE MAKE‐A‐WISH FOUNDATION IS INVOLVED IN MY FAMILY,

AND THAT'S WHY I FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT GIVING BACK TO THEM.

THE ONE WISH CATEGORY THAT STARTED ALL OF MAKE‐A‐WISH

WAS "I WISH TO BE,"

AND I'VE GOT FOUR GIRLS I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT

WHO HAVE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION

WITH "I WANT TO BE A BAKER."

REALLY?

WHEN WE HEARD THAT, WE KNEW ‐‐

KIM AND I KNEW THERE'S ONE PERSON TO GO TO.

MOST KIDS WANT TO BE, LIKE, ASTRONAUTS OR SOMETHING CRAZY.

THESE FOUR GIRLS WANT TO BE BAKERS.

THAT'S AWESOME.

I CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH THE KIDS.

I REALLY CAN'T.

KNOWING THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO BAKE AND BE LITTLE BAKERS,

I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM.

ABSOLUTELY.

THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS,

THESE FOUR YOUNG LADIES ARE COMING TO NEW JERSEY,

AND THEY'RE GONNA HELP US

WITH ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EVENTS OF THE YEAR.

IT'S A WALK AND 5K COMING UP. IT'S A HUGE EVENT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE.

Buddy: EACH OF THESE GIRLS HAVE COME TO NEW JERSEY

BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING FOR THIS BIG WALK

FOR THE WALK FOR WISHES.

SO, MAYBE I CAN MAKE THIS GREAT CAKE FOR THE EVENT,

YOU KNOW, TO GIVE TO ALL THE FAMILIES.

THAT WOULD BE PHENOMENAL.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A WAY FOR ME TO GIVE BACK.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A PAT ON THE BACK

FOR HELPING THESE GIRLS,

BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO TO HELP THEM OUT,

I'M GONNA DO IT.

SO, FOR THIS BIG CAKE FOR THE MAKE‐A‐WISH WALK,

I WANT TO INSPIRE THESE KIDS WITH A GIANT HOT‐AIR BALLOON.

IT'S GONNA BE FILLED WITH PEOPLE

AND LOOK LIKE IT'S SOARING HIGH ABOVE A PARK.

THAT'S GONNA BE THE HARD PART.

THEN I'LL HAVE MY GUYS COME UP WITH ALL KINDS OF FAMILIES

HAVING FUN AND HANGING OUT IN THE PARK BELOW.

ALL RIGHT. MELANIE.

COME HERE, BABY.

WE GOT TO BUILD A 7x7 BLOCK HERE.

ME AND MAURO CAME UP WITH A GREAT IDEA

TO SUSPEND THE HOT‐AIR BALLOON

WITH THESE METAL RODS WITH NUTS AND BOLTS.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN. LINE UP THESE THINGS.

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO SCREW IT INTO THE BOARD,

COME UP WITH ANOTHER BOARD, THROUGH ANOTHER BOARD.

WE'LL COVER THESE METAL RODS WITH MODELING CHOCOLATE

TO MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE ROPE

AND SUSPEND THE HOT‐AIR BALLOON

SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING OUT OF THE CAKE, FLYING IN MIDAIR.

YEAH, THAT'S IT. DIRTY ICE IT. ALL RIGHT?

WITH THE STRUCTURE IN PLACE,

FRANKIE STARTS WORKING ON THE BALLOONS.

HE'S GOT THE VANILLA CAKE STACKED AND CARVED,

AND NOW HE'S GOT TO DIRTY‐ICE IT AND GET IT COVERED IN FONDANT.

CAMILLE, HOW ARE YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BEAUTIFUL?

NOTHING.

YOU READY TO MAKE A CAKE? YEAH.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?

RED, BLUE, AND ORANGE. RED, BLUE, AND ORANGE.

SO, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE MAKE A FUN CAKE.

WE'RE GONNA KNOCK IT OUT. YOU READY TO WORK?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER.

WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS IN A LITTLE BIT.

CAMILLE HAS AN ILLNESS CALLED EVANS SYNDROME,

AND SHE HAS TO WEAR AN OXYGEN TANK 24/7.

GOT IT? YEP. GOT IT.

BUT I'M TOLD SHE'S A LITTLE SPITFIRE.

HIGH FIVE! GOOD BOY!

Buddy: SHE DOESN'T LET HER ILLNESS SLOW HER DOWN FOR A SECOND.

SHE'S SO INDEPENDENT, AND SHE'S HAPPY ALL THE TIME.

SHE NEVER COMPLAINS,

EVEN THOUGH SHE WENT THROUGH A LOT, A LOT OF THINGS.

HOLD THIS WITH YOUR HAND. YOU'RE GONNA SMOOTH IT OUT.

CAMILLE TOLD ME SHE WANTED HER CAKE TO BE COVERED IN TIE‐DYE.

OKAY. SO, LOOK, CAMILLE. WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO HERE ‐‐

WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS LIKE THIS, RIGHT?

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TWIST THEM.

SO, ME AND COUSIN FRANKIE

START TEACHING HER HOW TO MAKE THE TIE‐DYE FONDANT.

SQUEEZE IT A LITTLE SO THEY STICK TOGETHER.

OKAY. THANKS FOR HELPING ME.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WOW. DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TIE‐DYE OR WHAT?

YEAH.

Buddy: WE GET THE CAKE COVERED,

AND THEN WE ADD A FEW OF CAMILLE'S FAVORITE THINGS.

Buddy: ALL RIGHT, CAMILLE. PUT THE DOGGY IN, RIGHT THERE.

AN ALLIGATOR FLOAT, BECAUSE YOU'RE FROM FLORIDA, RIGHT?

MAYBE SOME PIPING GEL TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE WATER.

AND TO MAKE THE WATER FOR THE POOL,

CAMILLE WANTS TO USE ONE OF MY OLD TRICKS ‐‐

BLUE PIPING GEL.

LOOKS COOL, CAMILLE? YEAH.

WELL, YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

GIVE ME A BIG HUG.

MAKING CAMILLE'S CAKE WAS A SIMPLE THING,

AND IT BROUGHT HER SOME HAPPINESS,

AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.

YOU KNOW, I'M A LUCKY GUY.

I HAVE THREE WONDERFUL KIDS OF MY OWN,

AND NOW MY WIFE LISA'S EXPECTING OUR FOURTH.

Grace: IT'S A BOY. LOOK AT THAT BELLY.

Madeline: OH! [ LAUGHS ]

LISA, I KNOW YOU WANT A GIRL.

"HELLO, AUNTIES." [ LAUGHS ]

I SAY IT'S A BOY. THIS FEELS LIKE A BOY.

FROM YOUR FACE, YOU KNOW ‐‐

'CAUSE THEY SAY THE GIRLS TAKE AWAY THE MOM'S BEAUTY.

YOU'RE STILL PRETTY, LISA, SO I THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BOY.

I FEEL LIKE MY FACE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.

I GOT A LITTLE ROUNDER.

SO, MY SISTERS WON'T STOP NAGGING ME AND LISA

TO FIND OUT IF IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL.

WELL, THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM

IS THE NEEDLE AND THREAD TEST.

WHAT NEEDLE AND THREAD?

Buddy: MY SISTERS, LISA, MADELINE, AND GRACE,

ALL BELIEVE THIS OLD ITALIAN WIVES' TALE

THAT YOU CAN HANG A NEEDLE OVER A PREGNANT WOMAN

AND KNOW THE GENDER OF THE BABY.

IS THAT RIGHT, LISA?

IF THE NEEDLE GOES IN A CIRCLE, IT'S A GIRL.

IF IT SWINGS STRAIGHT, IT'S A BOY.

Lisa V.: WHICH ONE? Grace: THIS HAND.

NOW, I HAVE TO HIT YOUR HANDS THREE TIMES ‐‐

1, 2, 3.

AND THEN WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

WHOA. WAIT. OOH, OOH, OOH!

ROUND IS A GIRL! OH, MY GOD!

THAT'S GOING RIGHT AROUND.

DO‐OVER.

YOU CAN'T DO IT OVER!

IT WENT ROUND!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF THIS THING AND YOU'RE ITALIAN.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS STUFF.

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS.

THIS SAYS A GIRL.

WELL, I THINK IT'S A BOY.

THAT SAYS GIRL. IT'S A BOY.

HEY, MY SISTERS CAN BELIEVE THIS HOCUS‐POCUS MUMBO‐JUMBO

IF THEY WANT,

BUT WE'RE NOT FINDING OUT UNTIL LISA HAS THIS BABY.

THERE'S A REASON WHY EVERY KID IS IN THIS FAMILY,

AND THERE'S GONNA BE A REASON WHY THIS BOY OR GIRL

IS GONNA BE IN THIS FAMILY, AND THAT'S IT.

AMEN.

Buddy: COMING UP ON "CAKE BOSS"...

WHO WANTS TO THROW A PIE AT COUSIN ANTHONY?

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

HEY!

[ LAUGHTER ]

Buddy: IT'S GOT TO LOOK LIKE GRASS, WATER ‐‐

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT TO LOOK NICE.

TREES. DO WE GOT SOME BUSHES OR NO?

Buddy: IT'S MAKE‐A‐WISH WEEK AT CARLO'S BAKERY,

AND WE'RE MAKING A CAKE

FOR THE WALK FOR WISHES CHARITY EVENT AND AFTER PARTY.

THE CAKE IS GONNA BE A PARK SCENE

WITH A HOT‐AIR BALLOON SOARING ABOVE.

WE'RE COVERING THE BALLOON WITH STRIPS OF RED AND WHITE FONDANT

WITH BLUE DETAILING.

THE LINES, I THINK, CAME OUT GOOD. I LIKE THOSE COLORS.

Buddy: OH, LET'S LOOK AT THIS FLAMING THING.

SO, WE BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE LITTLE BLOWING FLAME THINGS,

THOSE FAKE THINGS.

IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

WE ATTACH IT TO THE SUPPORTS

BETWEEN THE BASKET AND THE BALLOON.

THEN WE START COVERING THE SUPPORTS AND WIRES

WITH BROWN MODELING CHOCOLATE.

THAT WAY, THE BASKET AND FLAMES

WILL LOOK LIKE THEY'RE HANGING UNDER THE BALLOON ON ROPES.

MAYBE WE COULD TEXTURE IT A LITTLE BIT

TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ROPE.

Mauro: YEAH, IT COULD WORK. ALL RIGHT.

NOT ONLY AM I MAKING THIS BALLOON CAKE FOR MAKE‐A‐WISH,

BUT I'M HELPING FOUR GIRLS MAKE THEIR WISHES COME TRUE.

YOU READY TO BAKE TODAY?

WELL, ME AND YOU ARE GONNA MAKE SUCH AN AWESOME CAKE.

MY SECOND MAKE‐A‐WISH GIRL IS TYLER SUE.

I GOT A GIFT FOR YOU. YOU GOT THIS FOR ME?

OH, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE. LET ME SEE.

SO, WHAT'S THIS SHIRT ABOUT?

THIS IS THE SYNDROME THAT SHE HAS, CALLED MUCKLE‐WELLS.

MUCKLE‐WELLS. MUCKLE‐WELLS SYNDROME.

AND SHE'S HAD IT SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.

SHE'S ONE IN A MILLION.

THAT'S THE ODDS OF HAVING THIS SYNDROME.

Jennifer: SHE'S VERY CREATIVE.

SHE'S ALWAYS LOVED TO DRAW,

AND THAT JUST HELPS HER BE A NORMAL GIRL, THEN,

RATHER THAN TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS

THAT WE'VE HAD WITH HER HEALTH.

TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE DREAMING OF.

I WANT THREE LAYERS, GREEN FONDANT ON TOP.

OKAY.

THE MIDDLE PART WOULD BE ZEBRA STRIPES.

ZEBRA STRIPES. ALL RIGHT. I LIKE THAT.

AND THE BOTTOM IS AQUA WITH DOLPHINS AND STARFISH.

SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED, AND SHE HAD A VISION OF HER CAKE.

THREE TIERS!

THAT'S A LADY WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS.

GIVE IT A GOOD TOSS. THROW IT UP THERE.

JUST LIKE A PIZZA. PERFECT!

TYLER AND I ARE MAKING A ZEBRA‐STRIPED FONDANT

FOR THE MIDDLE TIER...

YEAH, THAT'S IT. GOOD GIRL.

PRETTY COOL.

THAT LOOK ZEBRA OR WHAT? YEP.

...WHILE KAT COVERS THE BOTTOM TIER IN AQUA‐COLOR FONDANT.

Kat: NICE.

ONE, TWO, THREE. DROP IT.

NOW WE JUST HAVE TO COVER THE LAST TIER IN LIME‐GREEN FONDANT.

THIS IS ADORABLE.

THEN WE ADD THE FINISHING DETAILS ‐‐

SOME DOLPHINS, STARFISH, FLOWERS.

I KNOW. I LOVE SUNFLOWERS.

AND SOME CHOCOLATE‐COVERED STRAWBERRIES.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST STRAWBERRY I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

TYLER REALLY HAS A GREAT EYE FOR CAKE DESIGN.

SHE PICKED COLORS AND PATTERNS THAT REALLY GO WELL TOGETHER.

I'M IMPRESSED.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB. GIVE ME A BIG HUG.

MMM! YOU'RE OFFICIALLY PART OF THE TEAM.

NICE. YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB.

THIS IS THE COOLEST CAKE. LOVE IT.

Mauro: LET'S DO ONE BLUE FOR THE WATER

AND THEN A COUPLE OF BLACK ONES FOR THE STREETS,

AND THAT'S IT.

SO, I GOT THE WHOLE TEAM HELPING ME

WITH THIS HOT‐AIR‐BALLOON CAKE.

WE'RE PIPING GRASS ON IT. WE'RE PUTTING TREES.

WE'RE MAKING ROCKS.

LET THE GIRLS DO THE ROCKS, MEL.

FINISH PIPING. LET'S PIPE. WE GOT TO PIPE THIS WHOLE CAKE.

WE'RE PIPING ON DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREEN BUTTERCREAM

USING A SPECIAL TIP SO IT LOOKS JUST LIKE GRASS.

BUT WE STILL GOT A LOT OF DETAILS TO PUT ON THIS THING

BEFORE IT'S FINISHED.

Buddy: HEY, TOM.

BUDDY, HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW'S EVERYTHING?

HERE'S THE SPECIAL YOUNG LADY I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.

NICE TO MEET YOU! HAYLEY?

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. I'M BUDDY. HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

GOOD.

YOU READY TO BAKE TODAY? YEAH.

Buddy: MY THIRD ASPIRING BAKER IS HAYLEY,

AND SHE SUFFERS FROM A SEIZURE DISORDER.

HAYLEY'S HAD GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS,

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BAKING CAKES,

SHE'S JUST FULL OF JOY AND HAPPY.

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH IN THE PAST 11 YEARS,

I THINK THIS WOULD BE LIFE‐CHANGING FOR HER.

SO, WHAT SHOULD I DO, YOU KNOW,

TO REALLY MAKE HAYLEY'S DAY GREAT?

DEFINITELY A PRANK. PRANKS?

SHE LIKES PRANKS?

THEN WE'RE GONNA REALLY HAVE FUN.

I FIND OUT SHE'S A PRANKSTER.

OKAY, HAYLEY. YOU READY? YEAH.

I HEAR YOU LIKE TO DO SOME PRANKS.

YEAH.

SO, WHO DO YOU WANT TO PRANK? ANTHONY.

ANTHONY?

Buddy: IT'S NOT MY FAULT SHE PICKED COUSIN ANTHONY.

THAT'S WHO SHE WANTED TO GET.

SO GUESS WHAT? ANTHONY, YOU'RE GOING DOWN.

OKAY, AND SQUEEZE.

BUT FIRST, HAYLEY AND I ARE GONNA MAKE A CAKE TOGETHER.

HER FAVORITE HOLIDAY IS HALLOWEEN,

SO SHE WANTS A HAUNTED HOUSE CAKE.

WE GET THE CAKE STACKED AND ICED,

AND THEN WE MAKE THE HOUSE OUT OF RICE KRISPIE TREATS.

SO WE START COVERING THE HOUSE WITH STRIPS OF FONDANT,

AND WE PUT THEM ON ALL CROOKED AND SAGGING

SO IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD, ABANDONED, CREEPY HAUNTED HOUSE.

IT LOOKS HAUNTED NOW, RIGHT?

AND HAYLEY IS SO HAPPY. IT MEANS SO MUCH.

BUT HER WISH AIN'T DONE YET.

WHO WANTS TO THROW A PIE AT COUSIN ANTHONY?

RAISE THEIR HANDS.

NOW IT'S TIME TO REALLY MAKE HAYLEY'S WISH COME TRUE

AND GET COUSIN ANTHONY.

THIS WAS ALL HAYLEY'S IDEA.

[ LAUGHTER ] THATAGIRL.

THIS IS ALL ‐‐ THIS IS ALL HER IDEA.

SO I TELL FRANKIE TO SET UP THE WHIPPED‐CREAM PIES.

WE'RE GONNA TELL MARY TO TELL ANTHONY HIS CAR'S GETTING TOWED.

GRAB AND GO.

AND WHEN HE RUNS OUT THE BACK DOOR ‐‐

BA‐BOOM! ‐‐ HE'S GONNA GET HIT WITH LIKE 20 PIES, OKAY?

THEN WATER FROM UP ABOVE TO WASH IT OFF.

'CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE DO IT, HOBOKEN‐STYLE.

Mary: ANTHONY. Anthony: WHAT?

I JUST WANTED TO BE NICE AND TELL YOU

THAT YOUR CAR IS BEING TOWED AS WE SPEAK.

EVERYBODY, PIES BEHIND THE BACK.

ARE YOU SERIOUS, MARY? THIS IS THE SECOND TIME!

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

YOU READY UPSTAIRS?

[ ALL SCREAMING ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

Buddy: PIES BEHIND THE BACK.

HEY!

[ ALL SCREAMING ]

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! WAIT!

[ LAUGHTER ]

WELL, MY CAR'S STILL THERE!

THIS WHOLE TIME, I'M WATCHING HAYLEY,

AND SHE IS JUST CRACKING UP, LOVING IT.

IT WAS HER IDEA.

THIS WAS YOUR IDEA?

IT WAS HER IDEA.

I THINK SHE HAD MORE FUN GETTING ANTHONY THAN MAKING HER CAKE.

GOOD JOB. GIVE ME A HUG.

THESE ARE PERFECT, MAN, LIKE THIS.

ON THIS MAKE‐A‐WISH BALLOON CAKE,

WE'RE ADDING THE PEOPLE TO THE PARK.

AND THEN I DECIDE TO AIRBRUSH THE FLAMES A LITTLE BIT,

YOU KNOW, TO GIVE THEM A MORE REALISTIC LOOK.

WHO'S THE ‐‐ WHO'S THE CHUBBY GUY WITH THE ‐‐

THE BALD CHUBBY GUY?

I COULDN'T SAY. I COULDN'T SAY.

YOU SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING, RIGHT, DUDE?

Buddy: YOU READY TO BAKE SOME CAKES?

I'M SO READY.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST.

MOM AND DAD, SHE'S IN GREAT HANDS.

LAUREN IS MY LAST MAKE‐A‐WISH GIRL.

I'M GONNA TAKE HER IN THE BACK, AND WE'RE GONNA GO ROCK IT OUT.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

HAVE AN AWESOME TIME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ON THE DESIGN OF THE CAKE?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS? I WANT TO PUT "SURVIVOR" ON IT.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY?

I'M A CANCER SURVIVOR.

GOD BLESS YOU.

AND NOW THEY REMOVED EVERYTHING?

I WAS INOPERABLE.

I HAD TO GO THROUGH SIX MONTHS OF CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION.

Buddy: I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY AT A YOUNG AGE.

WHAT A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.

BEEN IN REMISSION SINCE LAST NOVEMBER,

AND AFTER FIVE YEARS, I WILL BE OFFICIALLY CANCER‐FREE.

THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR. THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR.

MY DAD ACTUALLY PASSED AWAY OF CANCER, SO I KNOW.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE AN AWESOME CANCER‐SURVIVAL CAKE TODAY.

ANYTHING ELSE THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU

OR SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

MAYBE FLOWERS OR MAKEUP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

MAKEUP AND FLOWERS. I LOVE THAT. I LIKE THAT.

JUST SOMETHING GIRLY.

BLING. GIRLY. OKAY.

LAUREN LIKES VANILLA,

SO WE'RE GONNA DO THE VANILLA CAKE WITH FRENCH CREAM.

I WANT YOU TO START WORKING ON THE "SURVIVOR" SIGN WITH HER.

I'M GONNA DIRTY‐ICE THIS, AND THEN I'LL LET YOU GUYS WORK ON ALL THE ELEMENTS,

AND THEN WE'LL PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

OKAY.

FEED THAT THROUGH WITHOUT GETTING YOUR HANDS IN THERE.

ALL RIGHT. PUSH JUST A LITTLE BIT HARDER.

AND YOU JUST SPRAY TILL YOU THINK YOU GOT IT COVERED.

LET'S PIPE THIS,

AND THEN I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO DO SOME DROP LINES.

I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ‐‐

YOU GOT SOME REALLY GOOD POTENTIAL.

WHEN LAUREN STARTED PIPING, I WASN'T EXPECTING VERY MUCH,

BUT WOW.

SHE WAS SO AMAZINGLY TALENTED AT CAKE DECORATING.

WELL, I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.

I PROMISE, WHEN YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH,

YOU COME BACK HERE AND WORK.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YEP.

IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO WORK HERE.

IT WOULD BE OUR PLEASURE.

HER CAKE WAS SO GOOD ‐‐ NO JOKE ‐‐

I TOLD HER, WHEN SHE'S OF AGE, GIVE ME A CALL,

AND WE'LL GIVE HER A JOB.

I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.

SO, LISTEN, I THINK YOU KILLED THIS CAKE.

THANK YOU. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

EH, A LITTLE HELP. JUST A LITTLE.

IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE.

YOU ROCKED OUT THE PIPING.

YOU PIPED LIKE IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS.

Kat: YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.

Buddy: COMING UP ON "CAKE BOSS"...

MY DAUGHTER, BARTOLINA, SHE TURNED TO US, AND SHE SAID,

"I JUST WANT TO HAVE MY SURGERY AND GO HOME."

WE HAD A SPECIAL MASTERPIECE MADE FOR YOU BY BUDDY ALL WEEK!

[ APPLAUSE ]

Buddy: IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL, I THINK.

FRANK, YOU HIT THAT SIDE. MAURO, YOU COME OVER HERE.

WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THE MAKE‐A‐WISH BALLOON CAKE,

AND IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. COME CHECK IT OUT. ALL DONE.

I THINK THE BALLOON CAME OUT AWESOME.

Mauro: THE FLAMES CAME OUT GOOD.

THE FLAMES LOOK GOOD ON THERE.

I LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THE BASKET.

I PARTICULARLY LIKE THIS GUY.

HE LOOKS REAL CUTE.

WE MADE THIS CAKE TO INSPIRE THE MAKE‐A‐WISH FAMILIES

AT THE WALK FOR WISHES CHARITY EVENT.

I HOPE THEY REALLY LIKE IT.

IF THERE'S A CAKE THAT I'VE DONE THAT MADE ME REALLY FEEL GOOD,

IT'S THIS ONE, BECAUSE THESE ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO SO DESERVE IT.

WHOO! YEAH!

TODAY'S THE MAKE‐A‐WISH WALK CHARITY EVENT IN JERSEY CITY,

AND MY SISTER GRACE AND BROTHER‐IN‐LAW JOEY

ALWAYS PARTICIPATE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

AND THIS YEAR, THEY WERE ASKED TO SPEAK.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK TODAY 'CAUSE WE WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF MAKE‐A‐WISH NOT TOO LONG AGO.

MY DAUGHTER, BARTOLINA,

BASICALLY HAD A BAD PART OF HER BRAIN,

AND A SOCIAL WORKER APPROACHED US AND SAYS,

"I WANT YOU TO KNOW, BARTOLINA IS A CANDIDATE FOR MAKE‐A‐WISH."

BARTOLINA TURNED TO US, AND SHE SAID,

"I JUST WANT TO HAVE MY SURGERY AND GO HOME.

I HAVE EVERYTHING THAT I WANT."

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

BARTOLINA IS SEIZURE‐FREE TWO YEARS,

MEDICATION‐FREE FIVE MONTHS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY CHILDREN, ROBERT AND BARTOLINA.

Buddy: BARTOLINA GAVE UP HER WISH

SO ANOTHER CHILD WITH A SERIOUS ILLNESS COULD RECEIVE IT.

FORTUNATELY, BARTOLINA IS DOING BETTER THAN EVER.

AFTER THE WALK,

ALL THE MAKE‐A‐WISH FAMILIES ARE GATHERING TO CELEBRATE.

HEY, EVERYBODY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL

FOR JUST ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT MAKE‐A‐WISH EVENT.

[ APPLAUSE ]

I'LL GET THIS END. YOU PICK UP THE BACK?

I GUESS SO.

AND ME AND DANNY HAVE TO DELIVER THE BALLOON CAKE TO THEM.

AND WHILE YOU WERE MAKING SPECIAL CAKES,

WE HAD A SPECIAL MASTERPIECE BEING MADE FOR YOU

BY BUDDY ALL WEEK!

[ APPLAUSE ]

SO, GUYS, I DID A HOT‐AIR BALLOON

BECAUSE BEING WITH YOU GUYS THIS WEEK WAS UPLIFTING TO ME,

SO I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING UPLIFTING.

THIS WEEK FOR ME, AS A WHOLE, WAS AN AMAZING WEEK.

IT DID SOMETHING FOR INSIDE ME.

SO, THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
