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

JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT IRISH

DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T BE THE GRAND MARSHAL.

THE ST. PATTY'S DAY PARADE? IT'S AN IRISH DAY.

TODAY I'M IRISH.

YOU JUST DON'T HAVE AN ITALIAN ‐‐

A FULL‐BLOODED ITALIAN ‐‐

AS AN HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

I KNOW YOU GUYS WERE PROBABLY EXPECTING BUDDY,

BUT HE HAD A HERNIA.

Buddy: THIS WEEK, I GOT TO GO IN FOR HERNIA SURGERY.

WE'RE GONNA GO IN AND MAKE A LITTLE, TINY INCISION.

SO WHEN I'M GONE, I'M LOOKING FOR MAURO

TO KIND OF, LIKE, STEP IN MY SHOES.

‐LOOK AT YOU. ‐SO, YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE HERE.

WE DON'T SAY "GOODBYE." WE SAY, "SEE YOU SOON."

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.

IRISH SODA BREAD.

DELICIOUS.

ANYONE LIKE A SHAMROCK?

Buddy: IT'S MARCH, AND THAT MEANS ONE THING IN HOBOKEN ‐‐

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

ST. PATTY'S DAY IS A REALLY BIG DEAL AROUND HERE.

CARLO'S BAKERY'S GOING ALL‐OUT.

I MEAN, WE'RE DOING COOKIES, IRISH SODA BREAD.

YOU NAME IT.

AND NOBODY TAKES IT MORE SERIOUS THAN MY BROTHER‐IN‐LAW JOEY.

WHAT ARE WE DOING, IRISH SODA BREAD?

YEAH.

Joey: THERE'S A HUGE IRISH COMMUNITY IN HUDSON COUNTY.

IN THIS COUNTY, WHAT THEY DO IS,

EACH COMMUNITY HAS A DIFFERENT WEEKEND FOR THEIR PARADE.

HOBOKEN'S ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE, AND IT'S HUGE.

Buddy: THE BIG DEAL THIS YEAR IS I GOT ASKED

TO BE THE HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL

IN THE HOBOKEN ST. PATTY'S DAY PARADE.

JOEY, HE AIN'T TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Joey: THEY MADE BUDDY THE HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL

OF THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A LITTLE MESSED UP?

‐YEAH. ‐HE'S NOT IRISH.

HE'S NOT EVEN IRISH. EXACTLY.

YOU KNOW HIM. HE'S GONNA WANT TO RUB IT RIGHT INTO ME.

Joey: MY MOTHER'S IRISH. MY FATHER'S ITALIAN. MY MOTHER'S IRISH.

AND YOU JUST DON'T HAVE AN ITALIAN ‐‐

A FULL‐BLOODED ITALIAN ‐‐

AS AN HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

DID YOU JUST DO IT TO BREAK YOUR BROTHER‐IN‐LAW'S CHOPS,

OR ARE YOU ACTUALLY GONNA GO THROUGH WITH IT?

THIS IS AN HONOR.

BEING ASKED TO BE THE GRAND MARSHAL ‐‐

YOU'RE NOT IRISH!

I DON'T GET WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS.

I MEAN, I THINK IT'S COOL THAT THEY ASKED ME.

JUST 'CAUSE I'M NOT IRISH DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T BE THE GRAND MARSHAL.

ARE YOU GONNA PUT A SHAMROCK ON EACH CHEEK?

I'M GONNA DRESS ‐‐ TODAY I'M IRISH.

Buddy: I LOVE TO BUST JOEY'S CHOPS,

BUT I GOT BIGGER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.

THIS WEEK I GOT TO GO IN FOR HERNIA SURGERY.

I AIN'T EVEN GONNA BE AT THE BAKERY

FOR, LIKE, THREE, FOUR DAYS.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, DOCTOR. ‐GOOD MORNING.

AND YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD ANESTHESIA BEFORE.

IS THAT RIGHT? YOU HAD ENDOSCOPIES, RIGHT? ‐HAD ENDOSCOPIES.

I'M GONNA JUST NEED TO GET THE VITALS.

TODAY IS BUDDY'S SURGERY. HE'S HAVING A HERNIA SURGERY.

HE'S A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

I DON'T EXPECT ANY PROBLEMS.

ME NEITHER. OKAY. SEE YOU SOON.

YOU'LL BE AROUND?

‐I'LL BE HERE. ‐OKAY.

Lisa: HE'S NERVOUS. HE'S GOT THE RIGHT TO BE.

YOU KNOW, I'M NERVOUS FOR HIM.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S TIME I GET CHANGED.

YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.

Mauro: SO, YOU GUYS KNOW BUDDY'S NOT GONNA BE HERE THIS WEEK,

BUT WE'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT PEOPLE BEFORE,

AND BUDDY GOES ON VACATIONS AND ALL THAT.

Buddy: SO, WHEN I'M GONE, I'M LOOKING FOR MAURO

TO KIND OF, LIKE, STEP IN MY SHOES,

TAKE OVER THE DECORATING DEPARTMENT,

DO THE CONSULTATIONS.

I THINK HE'S GONNA MAKE ME PROUD.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS.

WE'RE GONNA DO THE BEST WE CAN,

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I DON'T NEED TO TELL ANYBODY.

EVERYBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO,

AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ONE WEEK,

I GUESS WE CAN DO WITHOUT HIM, RIGHT? [ LAUGHS ]

‐MAYBE IT'LL TAKE TWO WEEKS. ‐ALL RIGHT, GUYS?

NO QUESTIONS? EVERYTHING'S GOOD?

GOOD. NOW GET BACK TO WORK.

WE'VE GONE WITHOUT BUDDY FOR A WEEK, BUT I'M NOT AFRAID.

I CAN HANDLE IT.

Buddy: ONE OF THE BIG CAKES

MY GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO DO THIS WEEK

IS FOR THESE GUYS, BRYANT AND DEREK.

THEY'RE REGULAR CUSTOMERS.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU GUYS? I REMEMBER YOU GUYS.

HOW ARE YOU?

Buddy: THE LAST TIME WE MADE THEM A CAKE,

STRETCH SCREWED UP THE DELIVERY.

‐I HAVE YOUR CAKE IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. ‐GOOD.

UM, THAT'S NOT OUR CAKE.

‐THAT'S NOT YOUR CAKE? ‐NO.

WE EVENTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM

AND GOT THESE GUYS THE RIGHT CAKE,

BUT THIS TIME IT'S GOT TO BE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.

HEY, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU?

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU?

HOW'S EVERYTHING? GOOD.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER YOU GUYS FROM WAY BACK.

ALMOST TWO YEARS.

I KNOW YOU GUYS WERE PROBABLY EXPECTING BUDDY, BUT ‐‐

YEAH.

WE HAVE, UH, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH HIM.

OH, REALLY? HE HAD A HERNIA.

‐OH. ‐SO HE'S A LITTLE BIT INDISPOSED.

I KNOW BUDDY'S NOT HERE NOW,

BUT IS HE GONNA BE WORKING ON THE CAKE?

I DOUBT HE'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY WORK ON IT.

MAYBE I CAN JUST CONSULT HIM ON THIS AND GET HIS INPUT.

HE DID OUR CAKE BEFORE.

IT'LL BE JUST AS NICE. DON'T WORRY.

TELL ME NOT TO BE PARANOID.

USUALLY BUDDY GETS IT, SO I WANT TO BE SURE.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU CAN COME AFTER ME.

‐ALL RIGHT. ‐HOW'S THAT?

‐YOU'RE THE GUY. ‐ALL RIGHT?

[ LAUGHTER ]

SO, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A REALLY NICE,

KIND OF MOROCCAN ‐‐

BIG. BIG.

HUGE. HUGE.

YOU GUYS ‐‐ MOROCCO, SO...

SOMETHING GOLD, INTRICATE, DETAIL.

MAYBE WE'LL DO A PILLOW,

LIKE A LITTLE PILLOW WITH GOLD

AND ALL THE OTHER COLORS THAT YOU GUYS CHOOSE.

WE'LL DO SOME TASSELS, SOME HAND PIPING,

THEN PAINT THAT IN GOLD.

ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF THAT WORKS,

BUT IT HAS TO WORK TOGETHER.

DON'T WORRY. WE'LL MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.

‐WE'LL TRUST YOU. ‐TRUST US. EXACTLY.

‐BE SURE YOU NAIL IT. ‐WE'LL NAIL IT.

BAM.

Mauro: SO FOR THIS ANNIVERSARY CAKE,

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING BUDDY WOULD BE PROUD OF,

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE TIERS ‐‐

GOLD AND TEAL ‐‐ AND A COLUMN‐STYLE SEPARATOR.

SO, THE TOP TWO TIERS ARE GONNA BE

A MOROCCAN‐STYLE PILLOW AND A DOME.

WE'RE GONNA COVER THIS CAKE

WITH ALL KINDS OF INTRICATE PIPING AND DETAILS,

JUST THE WAY BUDDY WOULD.

AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, WE'RE GONNA DO

SOME OF BUDDY'S SIGNATURE DROP LINES.

BUDDY'S REALLY THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THAT.

AND HE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW,

SO I GUESS WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT.

THE HEXAGON'S RED‐VELVET CREAM CHEESE.

THE REST IS VANILLA CAKE WITH BUTTERCREAM FILLING.

THAT'S WHAT THE GUY WANTS.

SO IT'S TIME TO GET STARTED ON THIS MOROCCAN ANNIVERSARY CAKE.

I USUALLY CALL ON TWO GUYS.

I CALL ON FRANKIE, AND I CALL ON DANNY.

THEY'VE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST ‐‐

NOT THAT THE REST OF THEM CAN'T DO IT,

BUT WE JUST HAVE A SPECIAL BOND, US THREE,

THAT WE WORK TOGETHER ‐‐ SINCE DAY ONE,

WHEN I STARTED WORKING HERE ‐‐ 26 YEARS.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT ALL WORKS.

[ UP‐TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]

SO WHILE DANNY AND FRANKIE STACK AND ICE THE CAKE,

I GOT RALPH SCULPTING THE DOME FOR THE TOP.

I JUST NEED A DOZEN MORE OF THESE,

AND I CAN MAKE THE WORLD'S LARGEST CHOCOLATE‐CHIP COOKIE.

Dr. Chamberlain: SO, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS

WE'RE GONNA GO IN AND MAKE A LITTLE, TINY INCISION BY YOUR BELLY BUTTON.

IT'S REALLY GONNA BE ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN INCH BIG.

ONCE WE'RE THERE, WE'RE GONNA GO IN AND LOOK AT THE HERNIAS.

WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THEM FROM THE INSIDE,

AND YOU HAVE A HERNIA ON THE LEFT SIDE.

WE'RE GONNA PUT A PIECE OF MESH THERE

TO SORT OF BLOCK THE HERNIA FROM COMING BACK.

Buddy: DR. CHAMBERLAIN ‐‐ HE'S MY SURGEON,

AND I GOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN HIM,

BUT I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

I NEVER REALLY HAD A SURGERY BEFORE.

BUT I FIGURE IF MY WIFE GAVE BIRTH FOUR TIMES,

I CAN HANDLE THIS.

Lisa: MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE THIS WEEK

IS JUST BASICALLY TO KEEP HIM COMFORTABLE,

MAKE SURE THAT HE DOESN'T GO TO WORK,

HE DOESN'T LIFT ANYTHING,

'CAUSE I KNOW BY TOMORROW, HIS MIND

IS GONNA BE ON, YOU KNOW, GOING AGAIN,

AND HE'S GONNA WANT TO DO A LOT MORE THAN HE CAN REALLY ‐‐

THAN THE DOCTORS REALLY TOLD HIM NOT TO DO.

HE'S GONNA WANT TO DO A LOT MORE.

WE DON'T SAY "GOODBYE." WE SAY, "SEE YOU SOON."

WE'LL WATCH HIM. ‐OKAY.

GET THAT BUTTON, PLEASE.

TODAY IS BUDDY'S SURGERY.

HE'S HAVING A HERNIA SURGERY.

‐WE'LL WATCH HIM. ‐OKAY.

GET THAT BUTTON, PLEASE.

MY HOPES FOR THE SURGERY, OBVIOUSLY, IS TO FIX HIM.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM IN PAIN EVERY DAY.

HAVE A NICE NAP, BUDDY. WE'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW.

YOU'RE JUST FALLING OFF TO SLEEP.

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.

[ MID‐TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]

ALL RIGHT. ICE THIS ONE FIRST, THE BOTTOM.

Mauro: WHILE BUDDY'S AWAY, I'M IN CHARGE OF ALL THE BIG CAKES.

FOR BRYANT AND DEREK'S ANNIVERSARY,

THEIR THEME IS MOROCCAN,

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO ‐‐ A MOROCCAN THEME CAKE.

SO WE'RE STARTING WITH THE BOTTOM TIER,

AND WE'RE COVERING THAT WITH A TEAL‐COLORED FONDANT.

ONE OF THE LAYERS OF THIS CAKE IS GONNA BE AN ORNATE PILLOW.

WE COVER THE CAKE IN FONDANT,

AND THEN WE HAVE THIS SPECIAL TOOL

THAT MAKES IT LOOK JUST LIKE A QUILT.

LATER, WE'LL COVER THE PILLOW WITH BUTTONS

AND ADD SOME TASSELS.

[ MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC PLAYS ]

‐LOOK AT YOU. ‐WE CAN DO IT

WHEN IT HAS TO GET DONE, RIGHT, FRANKIE?

THAT'S IT. YOU CAN'T JUST RELY ON ONE PERSON.

Maddalena: HEY, MAURO, YOU WANT LUNCH?

I'M IMPRESSED THAT YOU'RE SO SEXY.

YOU'RE THE BOSS. GIVE ME A KISS.

I'M THE BOY IN CHARGE.

YOU'RE THE BOY IN CHARGE. I LOVE IT.

THAT'S RIGHT. OH, MY GOD.

[ LAUGHS ]

ALL RIGHT. I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

YEAH.

Grace: ARE YOU REALLY UPSET

ABOUT THIS THING WITH MY BROTHER?

THE PARADE AND ‐‐ Joey: HE'S NOT EVEN IRISH.

YOU HAVE TO BE AT LEAST HALF IRISH ‐‐ YOU HAVE TO BE PART IRISH.

BUT ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY, EVERYONE'S IRISH.

THE PARADE IN HOBOKEN FOR ST. PATRICK'S IS LEGENDARY.

BUDDY TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ASKED

TO BE THE HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL,

AND I SAYS, "YOU CAN'T BE ‐‐ YOU'RE NOT IRISH,"

AND HE THOUGHT I WAS KIDDING.

SHOULD HE BE THE GRAND MARSHAL AT A PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE?

HELL, NO. HE AIN'T PUERTO RICAN.

‐THANK YOU, VIOLET. ‐BUT, VIOLET ‐‐

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

YOU KNOW HOW MAD I AM ABOUT IT?

I'M GOING TO ATLANTIC CITY ‐‐

I'M GOING TO ATLANTIC CITY FOR THE PARADE.

WE HAVE TO BE AT MY BROTHER'S PARADE.

I'M GOING TO ATLANTIC CITY.

I'M BOYCOTTING THE PARADE. I'M OUT.

HEY, EVERYTHING IS GOING OKAY.

HE'S STILL IN.

SO I'M JUST WAITING TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE GETS OUT.

OKAY. THAT WENT QUITE WELL.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? HE DID GREAT. OKAY?

WE DID DO BOTH SIDES. HE HAD ANOTHER SIDE, TOO?

ACTUALLY, I THINK THE HERNIA ON THE RIGHT SIDE

WAS BIGGER THAN THE HERNIA ON THE LEFT SIDE.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NO, I'M NOT KIDDING YOU.

SO HE HAD A HERNIA ON THE LEFT AND ACTUALLY,

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, A BIGGER ONE ON THE RIGHT.

SO WE WENT AHEAD AND FIXED BOTH HERNIAS.

REALLY COULD NOT HAVE GONE BETTER.

I'M GLAD IT'S OVER. EVERYTHING WENT WELL.

CAN YOU IMAGINE I HAD A FREAKIN' DOUBLE HERNIA?

NEVER MIND THE SINGLE ‐‐ DOUBLE.

THANK GOD THAT THEY FIXED IT...

ON THE RIGHT.

NOW I JUST GOT TO REALLY WATCH WHAT I DO

FOR THE NEXT MONTH OR SO

AND MAKE SURE THAT I GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK

AND BACK TO NORMAL.

[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

YOU FEEL OKAY?

YEAH. YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

I NEED A HUG.

[ IRISH FOLK MUSIC PLAYS ]

VERY GOOD. BEAUTIFUL.

FONDANT.

OOH‐MINA!

Buddy: THIS WEEK, I'M AT HOME

RECOVERING FROM MY HERNIA SURGERY,

SO I PUT MAURO IN CHARGE OF MAKING THE CAKE

FOR THIS MOROCCAN‐THEMED ANNIVERSARY

FOR THIS COUPLE THAT WE MADE A WEDDING CAKE FOR,

LIKE, TWO YEARS AGO.

THE THING IS, STRETCH MESSED UP

THE DELIVERY OF THESE GUYS' WEDDING CAKE,

AND I REALLY WANT TO MAKE IT UP TO THEM.

Mauro: WE'RE MAKING ALL KINDS OF DECORATIVE CUTOUTS AND BEADS,

AND WE'RE GONNA PAINT THEM ALL IN GOLD.

WE HAND‐PIPE SOME INTRICATE PATTERNS ON THE CAKE,

AND THAT'S ALSO GETTING PAINTED IN GOLD.

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

UH‐OH. UH‐OH.

Shh! ‐WHAT HAPPENED?

HELLO.

WHAT'S UP, BUDDY? HOW YOU DOING?

I KNOW THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HOME RELAXING

AND TRYING TO GET BETTER FROM MY SURGERY,

BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE BAKERY.

UH‐OH. HE SAYS SOMETHING HURTS ON HIM.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS, RIGHT?

YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE CAKE? WHY ARE YOU WORRIED, MAN?

YOU JUST WORRY ABOUT HEALING. WE'LL DO THIS.

WE'LL DO THE DROP LINES.

SO, MAURO'S TELLING ME HE'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL,

BUT I AIN'T GONNA LIE TO YOU.

I MEAN, I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT IT.

ONE OF US GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT GOOD, RIGHT?

IF THEY'RE NOT PERFECT, I AIN'T LETTING THE CAKE LEAVE HERE.

SO, BYE‐BYE.

I LIKE THAT. THAT LOOKS GOOD.

Mauro: WE GOT THE GOLD DOME STACKED ON TOP OF THE PILLOW,

AND I'M GONNA PIPE ON SOME FINAL DETAILS.

ALL WE GOT LEFT TO DO

IS THE DROP LINES ON THE THIRD TIER.

I WAS THINKING MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

WHO YOU THINK IS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT HERE?

I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

BUDDY WAS ALWAYS THE BEST AT DOING THE DROP LINES.

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SEEN.

HE USED THE STEADIEST HANDS.

WE ALWAYS KID AROUND WITH HIM ABOUT THE ZONE AND ALL THAT,

BUT IT IS SOMETHING, CALLED THE ZONE, THAT YOU GOT TO GET INTO.

YOU REALLY GOT TO, LIKE, CONCENTRATE.

BUDDY JUST DOES IT.

IT JUST COMES OUT.

SINCE BUDDY'S NOT HERE,

I FIGURED ONE OF YOU GUYS COULD PIPE.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE SHOOTOUT

AT THE ROYAL‐ICING CORAL.

LET'S SEE WHO DOES THE BEST PIPING JOB.

A DROP LINE IS PUTTING THE TIP ON THE CAKE,

PULLING AWAY, AND DROPPING IT.

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A DROP LINE.

Woman: OH, BOY.

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] ‐[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

ARE YOU IN THE ZONE, FRANKIE? LET ME SEE.

Frankie: NOT YET.

DOING THESE DROP LINES IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT,

AND IT TAKES A LOT OF LAYERING, A LOT OF PRACTICE, PATIENCE.

IT ALL HAS TO BE SYMMETRICAL.

Frankie: I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIS.

Sunshine: I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE BAD, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THAT'S IT FOR ME.

‐WE'RE GONNA BE ‐‐ ‐NONE OF THESE LOOK GOOD.

Mauro: FOR THIS CAKE, I WANTED TO REALLY DO IT MYSELF

AND NOT HAVE ANY HELP, BUT, YOU KNOW,

I HAD TO CALL IN THE BIG GUNS.

‐HEY! ‐HEY!

Buddy: SO, I WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY HOME FOR A WHOLE WEEK.

YOU LOOK A LITTLE SCRAGGLY.

Woman: YOU LOOK ALL SCRUFFY THERE.

I'M IN PAIN.

Buddy: I'M REALLY STILL VERY SORE FROM THE SURGERY,

BUT I JUST CAME BACK HERE TO DO THIS ONE LITTLE THING.

I MEAN, A PIPING BAG ‐‐ IT AIN'T THAT HEAVY.

Frankie: BUDDY JUST GETS OUT OF SURGERY,

AND HE'S HERE, AND HE'S PIPING DROP LINES.

HE MAKES IT LOOK EASY.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PLAN IT OUT. HE DOESN'T SKETCH.

HE JUST SITS THERE, TAKES A LOOK AT THE CAKE.

ONCE HE KNOWS HIS DESIGN, IT'S DONE.

JUST AS HE STARTS GOING, IT LOOKS PERFECT.

IT'S FLAWLESS.

THE CAKE LOOKS NICE. YOU GUYS DID A GOOD JOB ON IT.

WHEN YOU HIT THOSE OTHER GOLD HIGHLIGHTS, IT'S GONNA LOOK GOOD.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, CALL ME.

YOU GOT IT. GO STRAIGHT HOME.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

‐BYE! ‐BYE, BUDDY.

‐FEEL BETTER. ‐GO HOME AND GO TO SLEEP.

Anthony: UH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WELL, I FIGURED IF THEY CAN PUT AN ITALIAN

IN THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE AS A GRAND MARSHAL,

I CAN MAKE SOME IRISH CANNOLI CREAM.

THIS IS REALLY GETTING TO YOU.

HA! IT'S GETTING TO YOU.

WHEN HE PASSES THE BAKERY,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE GREEN CANNOLIS IN THE STORE ‐‐

GREEN CANNOLI CREAM.

IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT. [ LAUGHS ]

IT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.

GREEN CANNOLI CREAM JUST DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.

Anthony: THIS IS, LIKE, SACRILEGIOUS.

IT'S NOT SACRILEGIOUS.

SACRILEGIOUS IS PUTTING A NON‐IRISHMAN

IN THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE AS AN HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL.

THIS IS CALLED PAYBACK.

LOOK. I THINK THAT LOOKS GOOD.

Mauro: YOU GOT THOSE SMALL BRUSHES, SUNSHINE?

SO, THIS WEEK, I'VE BEEN OUT

RECOVERING FROM MY HERNIA SURGERY,

AND MAURO AND THE TEAM REALLY HAD TO STEP IT UP

TO MAKE THIS MOROCCAN CAKE FOR BRYANT AND DEREK'S ANNIVERSARY.

SHE'S ALL DONE.

CAME GOOD, RIGHT?

‐BETTER THAN GOOD. ‐DROP LINES CAME GOOD, TOO, RIGHT?

Buddy: I GOT TO SAY, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

‐NICE. ‐IT LOOKS GOOD ALL AROUND.

THE PILLOW'S NICE. THE HAND‐PAINTED GOLD IS NICE.

THE PIPING ‐‐ CAME GOOD. ‐THEY'RE GONNA LOVE IT.

THEY'RE GONNA LOVE IT. ‐NOW I JUST GOT TO DELIVER IT ‐‐

THAT'S ALL. ‐MAKE SURE YOU LIFT WITH YOUR KNEES.

WE DON'T WANT YOU OUT WITH A HERNIA. ‐NO, NO.

‐MY BAD. ‐THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

‐EASY DOES IT. ‐I REALLY WANTED TO NAIL THIS CAKE

BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL MY RESPONSIBILITY.

SO TO DO THAT, I'M GONNA DO IT MYSELF.

I'M GONNA DELIVER IT MYSELF TO MAKE SURE IT GETS THERE,

SO THERE'S NO MISHAP.

BACK THERE WHERE ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE.

INITIALLY, WE HAD A CONVERSATION.

WE WERE THINKING ABOUT PULLING AWAY

AND MAYBE NOT DOING IT AND POSTPONING

BECAUSE BUDDY WASN'T GONNA BE PART OF IT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

CONGRATULATIONS, MAN.

WOW.

LIKE IT? LOVE IT.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BUDDY ‐‐

INJURED AND EVERYTHING THIS WEEK FROM THE OPERATION ‐‐

HE ACTUALLY CAME IN TODAY JUST TO GIVE US A FEW MINUTES,

AND HE DID SOME OF THIS PIPING.

Maddalena: RIGHT THERE. FOR YOU GUYS.

TELL HIM WE SAID THANK YOU.

YOU GUYS MUST HAVE BEEN SPECIAL.

YOU MUST HAVE LEFT A LITTLE...

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THE PIPING.

THE PILLOW IS AWESOME.

THE PILLOW IS DEFINITELY ‐‐

PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PART.

AND THE QUALITY OF THE GOLD ‐‐

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WITH THE TURQUOISE

THAT IT JUST POPS EVEN MORE.

IT JUST LOOKS MORE RICH. IT LOOKS REALLY, REALLY GOOD.

SO, WE GONNA EAT SOME CAKE, OR WHAT?

OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY. YES!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

NAILED IT.

NAILED IT.

‐VANILLA WITH BUTTERCREAM. ‐OH, THAT'S SO GOOD.

Mauro: AT THE END OF THE DAY,

BRYANT AND DEREK WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE CAKE.

THEY THOUGHT IT CAME OUT GOOD.

SO, WHO NEEDS BUDDY?

MAYBE JUST ONE OR TWO DROP LINES.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE NEEDED HIM FOR, SO WHATEVER.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ BAGPIPES PLAY ]

Buddy: IT'S BEEN ABOUT A WEEK SINCE MY SURGERY,

AND TODAY IS THE HOBOKEN ST. PATTY'S DAY PARADE,

AND I AM THE HONORARY GRAND MARSHAL.

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY.

IT'S GOOD.

GOOD STUFF, RIGHT?

DELICIOUS.

Buddy: JOEY WAS REALLY BURNED

THAT THEY ASKED ME TO BE IN THE ST. PATTY'S DAY PARADE,

BECAUSE I'M ITALIAN.

SO, IN SPITE, HE MADE THE CANNOLI CREAM GREEN.

BUT THEY'RE SELLING LIKE CRAZY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE.

WE'RE GONNA START DOING THIS EVERY YEAR ON ST. PATTY'S DAY.

THANKS, JOE.

HERE. HERE.

IT'S MY BLING, MAN.

"100% IRISH"?

YEAH.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

I'M STILL FEELING ABOUT 50%, MAYBE 60%.

SO I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE CAKES.

I'M JUST HERE FOR THE PARADE.

HEY!

BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU'RE GONNA WALK THE HALLWAY.

NO, I GOT A CAR.

I JUST HAD A HERNIA OPERATION.

YOU GONNA BE SITTING? YEAH.

PERFECT. I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

WHAT?

HERE.

NO, NO, NO. HERE.

YOU JUST HAD YOUR OPERATION.

I WANT YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE.

I WANT TO SEE YOU DIVE THROUGH THIS.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU SHOULD AT LEAST TAKE IT, JUST IN CASE.

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU JUST IN CASE.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, ALL RIGHT?

ENJOY YOURSELF.

WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.

[ IRISH FOLK MUSIC PLAYS ]

I CAN'T SEE. DANNY, PUT ME ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

[ HORN BLOWS ]

YOU GONNA STOP WITH THAT FRICKIN' HORN?

YOU'RE WORSE THAN THE KIDS.

Buddy: SO, THE PARADE WAS GREAT.

HEY, GUYS.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, GUYS?

HELLO!

THE TURNOUT WAS HUGE.

WHOO!

EVERYBODY CAME OUT OF THE BAKERY TO WATCH.

WE ALL HAD A GOOD TIME.

I STILL GOT A LONG WAY TO GO IN MY RECOVERY,

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GEARING UP AT THE BAKERY.

THE FACTORY IS GONNA OPEN REAL SOON,

SO I REALLY NEED TO REST UP,

BECAUSE THINGS AT CARLO'S BAKERY ARE ABOUT TO GET CRAZY.
