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

WE WANT TO GET A CAKE THAT'S REALLY WEIRD.

TOPSY‐TURVY.

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS GRAVITY‐DEFYING.

OH, MY GOSH.

THIS ONE'S GONNA GO LIKE THIS.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CAKES

JUST BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT.

‐OH, MY GOD! ‐I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

OKAY, GO UP, UP, UP, ALL THE WAY.

YO, THAT [BLEEP] HARD.

Buddy: THIS WEEK, I'M MAKING A GROUNDHOG CAKE.

WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE THE SUCKER DOESN'T SEE HIS SHADOW.

IF HE SEES HIS SHADOW, IT'S GONNA BE WINTER

FOR ANOTHER SIX WEEKS.

BUDDY IS GOING TO BRING A CAKE OUT.

BUDDY? WHERE IS BUDDY?

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.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ] HELLO?

Hello. This is Peter.

TODAY I GET A CALL FROM THIS GUY PETER

FROM THE STATEN ISLAND ZOO,

AND THEY DO A BIG EVENT THERE EVERY YEAR

WITH THEIR GROUNDHOG.

STATEN ISLAND CHUCK, RIGHT?

Yes, Staten Island Chuck.

YEAH, NO, I'VE HEARD OF HIM BEFORE.

SO, STATEN ISLAND CHUCK IS NEW YORK'S VERSION

OF PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL.

HE'S ACTUALLY A LOT BETTER AND WAY MORE ACCURATE.

You know, we had this idea to try to create

some sort of really interesting cake.

YEAH, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

Well, you know, it's a big event for the Staten Island Zoo.

It's a lot of people that come. The mayor comes every year.

OH, MAYOR BLOOMBERG'S GONNA BE THERE?

Yeah, Mayor Mike Bloomberg comes every year.

COOL.

THEY'RE INVITING ME TO PRESENT THIS CAKE,

AND THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY IS GONNA BE THERE,

WHICH MEANS IT BETTER BE A GOOD CAKE.

I JUST GOT A CALL ABOUT DOING A CAKE

IN THE SHAPE OF LIKE A GROUNDHOG.

IT'S NEW YORK'S VERSION OF GROUNDHOG'S DAY.

OH, STATEN ISLAND CHUCK?

STATEN I‐‐ HE'S FAMOUS.

Danny: YEAH, YEAH. HE IS.

WELL, HOPEFULLY HE PREDICTS, YOU KNOW,

THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE EARLY SUMMER

BECAUSE I CAN'T TAKE THIS SNOW ANYMORE.

SO, HERE'S THE DEAL ‐‐ IF CHUCK SEES HIS SHADOW,

SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER,

WHICH MEANS WE BETTER MAKE SURE THAT HIS HEAD POPS UP AND DOWN

WITHOUT SEEING HIS SHADOW.

STATEN ISLAND CHUCK ‐‐ IF HE KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIM,

HE BETTER NOT SEE HIS SHADOW. THAT'S RIGHT.

IF NOT, WE'LL GO FIND HIM.

YEAH.

Buddy: SO, MY IDEA FOR THIS CAKE IS TO MAKE A GROUNDHOG HILL.

IT'S GONNA LOOK REAL COOL, WITH GRASS AND ROCKS AND DIRT.

THERE'S GONNA BE AN AWESOME GROUNDHOG

MADE OUT OF MODELING CHOCOLATE.

THE THING IS, I WANT HIM TO POP OUT OF HIS HOLE,

AND I'M NOT SURE HOW I'M GONNA MAKE THAT HAPPEN JUST YET.

♪♪♪♪

SO, LET'S MARK THE CENTER OUT OF THIS.

YEAH, CUT IT THIS BIG. CUT YOUR HOLE THIS BIG.

SO, I GOT DANNY AND MAURO WORKING ON THIS GROUNDHOG CAKE,

AND THE FIRST THING THEY GOT TO DO

IS CUT A HOLE OUT OF THE TABLE

SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT

HOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS GROUNDHOG POP OUT OF THE GROUND.

YOU GOT TO BUILD THIS UP WITH CAKE.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THE CAVE THAT HE COMES OUT OF ‐‐

I MEAN, THE LITTLE ‐‐

THIS IS A PATCH OF GRASS.

WE'RE GONNA LAYER SHEETS OF VANILLA CAKE AND BUTTERCREAM

SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THE GROUNDHOG HILL.

Danny: WHAT'S A GROUNDHOG?

I GUESS IT'S A HOG THAT COMES OUT OF THE GROUND.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

Dana: SAME THING AS, WHAT, THE WOODCHUCK OR SOMETHING?

A WOODCHUCKER?

WE HAD ONE UNDER MY DECK ONE TIME.

SO, THIS WEEK I GOT DANA HELPING OUT WITH THE CAKES,

AND HE'S THE NEW GUY,

SO I'M GONNA HAVE DANNY AND MAURO

REALLY SHOW DANA THE ROPES.

‐YOU DID? ‐YEAH.

YOU HAD ONE UNDER YOUR DECK?

Dana: OF ALL HOUSES, HE CHOSE MINE,

IN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, TO GO UNDER THE DECK.

‐FOR REAL? ‐YEAH.

WHAT DO THEY DO?

HE'D BE LIKE DIGGING UP STUFF UNDER THERE.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ‐‐

LIKE, BRICKS FROM WHEN THEY BUILT THE HOUSE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU SEE BRICKS COME FLYING OUT ‐‐ CRAZY.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHO'S THE NEW GUY

'CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS EATING.

IN ITALY, WE DIDN'T HAVE GROUNDHOGS.

NO?

IN ITALY, IF THE GROUNDHOG WOULD COME UP ‐‐

IN ITALY, THEY'D EAT HIM.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE RIGHT HERE,

AND I'LL LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE?

‐GOOD TO SEE YOU. ‐GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

‐HI. ‐THIS IS RHEA.

OH, NICE TO MEET YOU.

WELL, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU GUYS?

WE WANT TO GET A CAKE THAT'S REALLY WEIRD

TO IMPRESS ROBERT RIPLEY.

FOR HIS MUSEUMS.

HE HAS THE RIPLEY MUSEUM.

"RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!"

SO RHEA DECIDED THIS YEAR FOR HER BIRTHDAY THAT SHE WAS GOING

TO DO A PARTY AT THE MUSEUM AND INVITE ALL OF HER FRIENDS.

OH, THE ONE IN MANHATTAN?

YEAH.

COOL.

Buddy: SO, RHEA'S FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD

IS "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!"

IT'S THIS CRAZY MUSEUM

THAT FEATURES WEIRD AND UNUSUAL THINGS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,

LIKE A 2‐HEADED CALF, THE TALLEST MAN,

AND SHRUNKEN HEADS.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND

AND MAKE SOMETHING REALLY...

WEIRD. ...WEIRD.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'LL PUT DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT YOU LIKE

ON THE CAKE, YOUR FAVORITE EXHIBITS.

MM‐HMM. THE SHRUNKEN HEADS.

SHRUNKEN HEADS. YEAH, WE CAN PUT

SOME KIND OF REALLY COOL STUFF.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S RIPLEY'S,

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE IT UPSIDE DOWN.

YEAH. OH, MY GOSH.

YEAH, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN COME THROUGH

TO MAKE THIS CAKE THAT CAN IMPRESS MY FRIENDS?

I THINK I CAN DO IT.

I THINK I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT?

I CAN TELL RHEA'S REALLY GONNA BE A TOUGH CUSTOMER,

SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX FOR THIS ONE.

♪♪♪♪

BALL GAME.

SO, THE PLAN FOR THIS RIPLEY'S CAKE

IS TO MAKE IT UPSIDE DOWN AND TOPSY‐TURVY.

SEE? TOPSY‐TURVY.

I GOT MAURO AND DANNY TEACHING DANA

HOW TO MAKE THE STRUCTURE.

I GOT MY SCULPTORS WORKING ON FIGURES.

Buddy: YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I GOT UP

WHEN YOU WAS CRYING LIKE A BABY?

‐ASK HIM HOW MANY TIMES. ‐HOW MANY?

LOTS. ONCE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

OUR NEW BABY IS ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS OLD,

AND THE THING IS MY MOTHER DIDN'T SEE HIM YET

BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN ON A CRUISE.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

OOH! LOOK WHO'S HERE!

WHO'S THAT?

SO TONIGHT'S A BIG NIGHT.

SHE'S COMING OVER TO MEET HER NEWEST GRANDSON.

AAH! GRANDMA'S HERE!

HI, SOFIA! WHERE'S THE BABY?

WHERE'S THE BABY? GRANDMA'S FINALLY HERE!

WHERE'S THE BABY?

SO, WHERE'S YOUR LITTLE BROTHER? COME ON!

‐IN HERE! ‐SHOW ME!

TONIGHT'S A BIG NIGHT.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME MOMMA'S GONNA SEE BABY CARLO.

HEY, GRANDMA'S HERE!

Momma: AHH!

I FINALLY MADE IT.

I HAD TO COME HERE AND SEE THIS BABY.

AWW, LET ME SEE.

LET ME SEE.

OH, HE'S BEAUTIFUL.

Momma: WHEN THE BABY WAS BORN, I WAS ON A CRUISE

WITH, YOU KNOW, SERGIO, MY HUSBAND.

AND SO WE COULDN'T GET BACK.

SO I SAYS TO MY SON, "DON'T WORRY.

I'LL FLY IN, AND I HAVE TO SEE MY NEW GRANDSON."

CARLO SALVATORE BECAUSE...

YEAH, AND "SALVATORE" HAS A LOT OF MEANING.

BOTH NAMES HAVE A LOT OF MEANING.

YOU KNOW, SAL WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE.

I MEAN, WE WERE TOGETHER WORKING

FROM ALMOST LIKE FROM TEENAGERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, BEING THAT WE LOST HIM,

AT LEAST, YOU KNOW,

IT'LL ALWAYS BRING BACK THE GOOD MEMORIES THAT I HAVE OF SAL.

HE WAS FAMILY TO US.

ACTUALLY, THIS WEEK IS A GOOD WEEK YOU'RE HOME

BECAUSE WE PLANNED A MEMORIAL MASS FOR SAL.

OH, I FIGURED THAT, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE

THAT I WAS PART OF IT.

DON'T YOU WORRY. I'LL BE THERE.

I WOULDN'T MISS THIS FOR NOTHING.

SAL IS ‐‐ MEANS A LOT TO ME.

US TOO.

Mauro: UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP.

FOR THIS GROUNDHOG CAKE,

I HAD MAURO AND DANNY DIRTY‐ICE IT

AND LAY ON THE FONDANT.

MAYDAY. NEED MORE GREEN. MAYDAY.

ALL WE NEED IS A PIECE HERE AND A PIECE THERE.

WE'RE GONNA PIPE THE REST OF IT.

THE PROBLEM IS, I GOT TO

MAKE THIS GROUNDHOG POP OUT OF THE GROUND.

I KNOW HOWEVER I'M GONNA DO THIS,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO HIDE IT UNDER THE TABLE

SO YOU DON'T SEE IT,

SO I'M GONNA COVER IT WITH A BLACK SHEET.

I WOULDN'T MIND BEING A GROUNDHOG.

I COULD SLEEP ALL WINTER.

CAN WE DO THAT, FRANKIE? ‐WHAT?

SLEEP FROM NOVEMBER TO JANUARY?

ABSOLUTELY.

I MIGHT HAVE TO GET UP AND EAT ONCE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE

THE SUCKER DOESN'T SEE HIS SHADOW.

‐RIGHT. ‐'CAUSE IF HE SEES HIS SHADOW...

IF HE SEES HIS SHADOW,

IT'S GONNA BE WINTER FOR ANOTHER SIX WEEKS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

‐READY? ‐HAVE A GREAT DAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GIVE ME THE DRILL.

AND NOW IT'S TIME TO STACK THIS

"RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!" BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR RHEA.

Mauro: SO, YOU WANT IT TO BE TOPSY‐TURVY,

AND YOU WANT THE ANGLES TO GO THE OTHER WAYS, TOO.

THIS ONE HAS GOT TO GO LIKE THIS.

‐OKAY. ‐THAT'S ABOUT THE ANGLE.

GOT IT? ‐LET GO.

THAT LOOKS GOOD.

WANT TO CUT ME THE WEDGE FOR HERE, MAUR?

SO, ONCE I GET THE RIGHT SHAPE,

I TAKE POUND CAKE AND FILL IN THE GAPS

AND START CARVING.

UPSIDE‐DOWN CARVING, DANA ‐‐ THAT'S HOW WE DO IT.

Dana: ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

SO, I GOT TYNE WORKING ON STATEN ISLAND CHUCK,

AND SHE BETTER DO A GOOD JOB

BECAUSE WE GOT THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY,

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, COMING TO THIS EVENT.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOU SPEED THAT UP?

I NEED HANDS.

I NEED LITTLE PAWS LIKE THESE ONES.

BLACK OR DARK BROWN?

I DON'T CARE. MAYBE DARK BROWN.

HOW'S THE GROUNDHOG, TYNE?

JUST ABOUT DONE.

Buddy: SO CHUCK IS LOOKING GOOD.

THE PROBLEM IS, HOW AM I GONNA MAKE HIM POP UP

AND DOWN OUT OF HIS HOLE SO HE DOESN'T SEE HIS SHADOW?

I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING MECHANICAL

TO MAKE HIM GO UP AND DOWN, BUT THEN I THOUGHT,

"I GOT THE PERFECT TOOL RIGHT UPSTAIRS."

HEY, DANNY, GO CALL COUSIN ‐‐ ‐COUSIN ITT?

‐COUSIN ITT. ‐COUSIN ITT.

CALL COUSIN ITT.

Danny: WHERE IS HE? IS HE UPSTAIRS?

COUSIN ANTHONY ALWAYS BUGS ME THAT HE WANTS TO

GET INVOLVED ON WORKING ON SOME CAKES.

SO I GOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION.

HEY, GUYS, LOOK WHAT I FOUND UPSTAIRS.

‐OH, IT'S A GROUNDHOG. ‐LISTEN ‐‐

HEY, I REALLY THINK THAT WE FINALLY FOUND

THE ONE CAKE THAT YOU COULD HELP US WITH.

AND YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN HELP US WITH IT.

‐ALL RIGHT. ‐ALL RIGHT?

IN HERE, I HAVE A GROUNDHOG. ‐ALL RIGHT.

I NEED SOMEBODY LITTLE TO GO UNDERNEATH THE TABLE.

THEY'RE GONNA GO UP WITH THE GROUNDHOG.

THERE'S A HANDLE, OKAY?

AND THEN YOU GOT TO TURN HIM LIKE THIS.

I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL MECHANISM.

I DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A PERSON.

AND THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU.

LET'S GIVE IT A TEST RUN.

GET UNDER THERE.

GO FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

I GOT IT. I GOT IT. I GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, GO UP. UP, UP, UP, ALL THE WAY.

GOOD. YOU'LL HAVE A STOPPER.

ALL RIGHT, WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

YOU GOT TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. YOU'RE CROOKED.

WELL, HOW THE HELL...

‐LIKE THAT. ‐OKAY.

OKAY, NOW TURN HIM.

YO, THAT [BLEEP] IS HARD.

SEE, I CAN TELL A PERSON'S DOING IT.

YOU GOT TO BE STRAIGHT.

THIS IS TRIAL NUMBER ONE.

NOW WHAT?

COME OUT.

Buddy: I THINK WE FOUND OUR TOOL.

ANTHONY GETS A LITTLE MORE PRACTICE,

CHUCK'S GONNA POP UP AND OUT OF THAT CAKE, NO PROBLEMO.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THIS WAS SAL'S FAVORITE PIE.

I REMEMBER WHEN ME AND HIM REFORMULATED THIS RECIPE.

TONIGHT AT THE BAKERY,

I WANTED TO GATHER EVERYONE TOGETHER

TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SAL.

ARE THESE THE PIES WE'RE MAKING FOR LUCILLE

FOR THE MEMORIAL?

SAL WAS MY DAD'S RIGHT‐HAND MAN AT THE BAKERY,

AND HIS SPECIALTY WAS COCONUT CUSTARD PIES,

SO WE DECIDED TO MAKE SOME

TO BRING TO THE MEMORIAL LATER IN THE WEEK.

WHEN HE HELD MY FIRST CHILD, MARY ‐‐ SHE'S 17 NOW ‐‐

HE CRIED, AND HE SAID,

"I REMEMBER HOLDING YOU AS A BABY,

AND NOW I'M HOLDING YOUR BABY."

AND THAT ALWAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD.

SAL WORKED AT THE BAKERY FOR 45 YEARS,

AND MAKING THESE PIES IS A GOOD WAY

FOR ALL OF US TO REMEMBER HIM.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE RECIPES.

Woman: IN HIS RECIPE BOOK?

NO, SAL HAD HIS RECIPES IN THE CAN.

THESE WERE LIKE HIS DAILY ‐‐ ‐THAT'S HIS RECIPE BOOK.

AND I HAVEN'T LOOKED IN IT 'CAUSE WE KNOW A LOT OF THEM.

SO, I WAS GOING THROUGH THEM.

OHH, SAL.

THESE WERE HIS GLASSES.

THESE ARE GONNA STAY HERE, WHERE THEY BELONG.

Buddy: THIS IS A HARD TIME FOR US, LOSING SAL,

BUT HIS MEMORY WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE HERE.

‐HE WAS A FAMILY GUY. ‐AND HE LOVED US.

‐HE LOVED ME. ‐OH, HE WAS PART OF OUR FAMILY.

AND ME.

Buddy: AND OF EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER ACHIEVED,

I COULDN'T HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT I ACHIEVED WITHOUT HIM.

WELL, SAL'S RIGHT ON THE OVEN, WHERE HE BELONGS.

‐THAT'S RIGHT. ‐AND HE'LL ALWAYS BE HERE.

‐ALWAYS BE THERE. ‐WE LOVE YOU, SAL.

♪♪♪♪

Buddy: LET'S ICE THIS.

NOW I GOT TO FINISH RHEA'S UPSIDE‐DOWN CAKE.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT.

SO, WE GET THE CAKE ALL DIRTY‐ICED,

AND THEN WE COVER IT IN FONDANT.

HIGHEST POINT FIRST, DANA.

I'M GONNA GO BLUE HERE.

GOOD.

GOOD.

KEEP TURNING.

LET'S DO SOME STRIPES, TOO.

Danny: OKAY.

WE'RE PUTTING ALL THE FONDANT DECORATIONS,

AND WE'RE MAKING THIS THING LOOK WHIMSICAL.

WHERE ARE THE PIECES FOR THIS CAKE?

AND THEN I START PUTTING ON ALL THE SCULPTURES.

‐I LIKE THAT HE'S DANGLING. ‐YOU LIKE IT?

OKAY, HE'S THE TALLEST GUY IN THE WORLD.

THIS UGLY HEAD.

BUDDHA'S GONNA GO OVER HERE.

AND THE MORE I KEEP ADDING ON,

THE BETTER SHE'S A‐LOOKING.

Mauro: SHE LOOKS UPSIDE DOWN.

IT IS UPSIDE DOWN. IT WORKS.

I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

I MEAN, JUST THE FACT THAT IT'S UPSIDE DOWN IS AMAZING.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CAKES...

‐YOU LIKE BUDDHA? ‐...TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,

JUST BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT.

IS THEY USUALLY SCREW SOMETHING UP.
