>> COMING UP ON "CAKE BOSS"...

>> [ IMITATING SHUTTLE EXHAUST ]

>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE

BLAST-OFF.

>> THIS WEEK WE'RE MAKING A CAKE

FOR OUR BIGGEST CLIENT EVER --

30-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE

SHUTTLE, AND THEY WANT A GIANT

CAKE.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN MAKE

THIS CAKE LIFT OFF?

WELCOME HOME.

>> HOME?

>> OPENING UP THE CAKE FACTORY

IN LACKAWANNA IS GOING TO CHANGE

THINGS AT CARLO'S.

THIS IS THE FACTORY.

>> IT'S SO BIG.

>> I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS

THING'S GOING TO COME TOGETHER.

KICK IT OLD SCHOOL, BABY.

MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP.

SO I WANTED TO THROW A LITTLE

SURPRISE PARTY.

>> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

>> SHE'S GOING TO LOVE IT.

>> I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LACKING OUR

OWN IDEAS.

WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOME

NEW CUTTING-EDGE CAKES TO PUT

IN THE CATALOG.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

THIS IS CARLO'S BAKERY.

>> EVERY WEEK THOUSANDS OF CAKES

AND PASTRIES GO OUT THESE DOORS.

>> THIS IS THE CREW.

MIA FAMIGLIA.

>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS

BAKERY TO THE TOP.

THEY CALL ME BUDDY.

I'M THE BOSS.

-- Captions by VITAC -- www.vitac.com

SO BUSINESS HERE AT CARLO'S

HAS BEEN VERY GOOD.

THE THING IS, IT'S BEEN SO GOOD

WE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH ROOM

ANYMORE TO BAKE AND SELL OUR

CAKES AND PASTRIES.

SO I GOT SOME BIG PLANS TO

EXPAND CARLO'S BAKERY TO HAVE

ALL THE ROOM WE NEED.

I'M TAKING A BIG RISK ON A GIANT

CAKE FACTORY IN AN OLD WAREHOUSE

BUILDING CALLED LACKAWANNA.

IT'S ONLY A FEW MINUTES FROM

THE BAKERY, BUT IT'S 35,000

SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS FOUR TIMES

THE SIZE OF CARLO'S.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOUR HUGE

OVENS, TWO DECORATING ROOMS,

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE, LIKE,

10 FREEZERS.

IF THIS TAKES OFF, WE'RE GOING

TO MAKE THOUSANDS OF CAKES,

COOKIES, AND PASTRIES EVERY DAY

FOR CARLO'S BAKERY AND TO SHIP

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

MY HOPE IS THAT IT'S GOING TO

LET US START TAKING ON BIGGER

CLIENTS...

AND DOING BIGGER AND BETTER

CAKES.

THIS IS MY DREAM FOR

CARLO'S BAKERY.

AND THERE'S ONE PERSON WHO

HASN'T EVEN SEEN IT YET, AND

I'M REALLY NERVOUS TO SHOW HER.

ALL RIGHT, MAMA.

WELCOME HOME.

>> HOME? WOW.

>> THIS IS OUR NEW HOME.

>> IT'S SO BIG.

I WOULD GET LOST HERE.

>> SINCE MOM HAS RETIRED,

SHE'S BEEN TAKING A LOT OF

TRIPS, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD FOR

HER, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO

SHOW HER THE NEW FACTORY YET,

AND WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THIS

THING IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE

A CALL CENTER.

SO OVER HERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE

CUBICLES.

THERE'LL BE LIKE 10 PEOPLE

JUST TAKING PHONE CALLS.

>> I CAN'T IMAGINE IT.

THIS IS WAY OVER MY HEAD.

>> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

>> TOO MUCH.

>> OH, THIS IS NOTHING.

TO ME, MY MAMA WILL ALWAYS BE

THE HEART OF THE BAKERY, AND

SHE'S MY MOM.

SO HER APPROVAL IS REAL

IMPORTANT TO ME.

SO YOU GOT SOME OFFICES.

>> I'LL SAY.

>> OKAY.

AND THEN COME ON.

COME WITH ME.

>> SO MANY ROOMS.

>> SO THIS IS THE CONSULTATION

ROOM.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE

TV SCREENS, COMPUTERS.

COME ON.

>> IT'S GOING INTO A MUCH DEEPER

AND BIGGER OPERATION.

>> THIS IS THE FACTORY.

>> TO ME IT'S LIKE OVERWHELMING,

WHICH, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS ME

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ONLY

DO SO MANY THINGS, YOU KNOW.

>> MA, YOU GOT TO TAKE A RISK.

>> I KNOW, BUT I'M NOT THAT --

YOU KNOW, I'M FROM THE OLD

SCHOOL.

>> WHEN DADDY MOVED TO

WASHINGTON STREET, YOU KNOW,

HE HAD TO LAY IT ALL OUT THERE

AND PUT IT OUT THERE TO MAKE IT

WORK.

>> THAT HE DID.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE MY

LEGACY.

>> I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE, I MEAN,

HOW MUCH YOU'VE DONE, AND,

I MEAN, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

[ Voice breaking ] SO VERY

PROUD.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE STARTED ON

95 WASHINGTON STREET, IT WAS

SUCH A BIG THING.

BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, AND

THIS IS LIKE SO MUCH MORE,

BUT I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT.

I KNOW YOU CAN AND YOU WILL.

>> I WILL.

>> SO I'M PROUD OF YOU, BUDDY.

>> I LOVE YOU, MOM.

>> I LOVE YOU, TOO.

OKAY.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THE

STORE 'CAUSE THEY NEED ME.

>> I'LL COME WITH YOU.

>> OKAY.

>> YOU KNOW, MOM IS WORRIED FOR

ME WITH ALL THESE CHANGES, AND

I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST.

I MEAN, I'M WORRIED TOO.

I NEVER RAN ANYTHING THIS BIG

BEFORE, AND I GOT MY FAMILY'S

FUTURE IN MY HANDS.

AND IF I MESS THIS UP, WE COULD

ALL GO DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

I WANT TO HAVE A TEAM MEETING.

WITH THE OPENING OF THE CAKE

FACTORY AT LACKAWANNA, THERE'S

BIG CHANGES COMING FOR EVERYONE

AT CARLO'S.

I MEAN, EACH OF US IS GOING

TO HAVE TO FACE SOME SERIOUS

CHALLENGES.

I HAVE A PLAN, AND IT'S GOING TO

BE THE FIRST STEP IN THE SUCCESS

OF THE NEW CAKE FACTORY AT

LACKAWANNA.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE A VERY,

VERY TALENTED BUNCH HERE.

WHAT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LACKING

IS OUR OWN IDEAS, OUR OWN

INNOVATIONS.

WE KEEP MAKING THE SAME CAKES

AND THE SAME THINGS.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO COME UP WITH

SOME NEW FRESH CAKE DESIGNS FOR

OUR CAKE CATALOG FOR OUR

CLIENTS.

WE NEED TO FRESHEN IT UP,

ENCOURAGE WEDDING CAKES,

BIRTHDAY CAKES, KIDS' CAKES,

THEME CAKES.

SOME OF THE CAKES ARE GOING TO

MAKE IT TO THE CATALOG.

SOME ARE NOT.

LISTEN.

WITH RUNNING THE BAKERY, OPENING

A NEW CAKE FACTORY, AND NOT TO

MENTION HAVING A NEWBORN BABY AT

HOME, THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO

EVERYTHING.

I'M GOING TO NEED NEW LEADERS

TO HELP ME RUN CARLO'S AND THE

FACTORY LATER ON, AND THIS

COMPETITION IS GOING TO HELP ME

SEE WHO CAN STEP UP.

>> EVERYBODY READY FOR IT?

>> YEAH.

>> ALL RIGHT.

BREAK.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS,

THE DECORATORS ARE GOING TO BE

MAKING THEIR OWN DESIGNS.

I'M EVEN GOING TO THROW A COUPLE

OF MY OWN CAKES INTO THE MIX.

BUT TODAY I GOT TO TAKE OFF ON

BUSINESS.

I HAVE A HUGE CLIENT THIS WEEK.

I MEAN, THIS IS THE BIGGEST AND

MOST PRESTIGIOUS CLIENT I HAVE

EVER MADE A CAKE FOR.

THIS WEEK I'M MAKING A CAKE FOR

NASA.

I'M AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER IN

FLORIDA, WHERE THEY ACTUALLY

LAUNCH THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

MAN.

>> WHAT WE DO HERE IS WE

PROCESS AND LAUNCH THE SPACE

SHUTTLE.

THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT.

WE ACTUALLY WORK HERE FOR THREE

MONTHS GETTING THE SHUTTLE READY

FOR LAUNCH PRIOR TO, AND THEN WE

RUN A THREE-DAY COUNTDOWN.

WE HAVE AN AWESOME TEAM OF

ENGINEERS THAT COME IN HERE

AND LAUNCH THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

>> THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THESE

GUYS WANT FROM ME.

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU GUYS.

HOW WE YOU DOING?

SO MIKE INTRODUCES ME TO RITA

AND DANA, WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF

THROWING A BIG PARTY TO HONOR

ALL THE EMPLOYEES WHO WORK ON

THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

SO, HOW WE DOING?

>> DOING GOOD.

DOING REALLY WELL.

>> I AM SO EXCITED TO BE HERE

AT NASA.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE

EVERY BOY'S DREAM TO BE AN

ASTRONAUT, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE

I'M IN THE FIRING ROOM RIGHT

NOW.

IT'S NUTS.

>> WELL, THIS IS AN HISTORICAL

WEEK FOR US.

YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR 30th

ANNIVERSARY.

WE WILL CONCLUDE THE PROGRAM

THIS YEAR.

THE LAST FLIGHT'S SCHEDULED

FOR JUNE 28th.

>> THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM IS

COMING TO AN END, AND I CAN'T

BELIEVE THEY WANT ME TO MAKE

A CAKE FOR THEM.

>> YOU KNOW, WE HEARD THAT YOU

WERE THE BEST AND THAT YOU MAKE

THE BEST CAKES, AND THAT'S WHY

WE CALLED YOU.

>> I AM VERY EXCITED TO MAKE

THIS CAKE.

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE THE SPACE

SHUTTLE AND THE ROCKET BOOSTERS.

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE IT ON THE

LAUNCH PAD.

>> COULD YOU GIVE US SMOKE AND

FIRE?

>> HA.

OF COURSE.

>> WHAT ABOUT MAKING IT LIFT

OFF?

>> MAYBE WE CAN MAKE IT ON THE

LAUNCH PAD.

>> COULD YOU GIVE US SMOKE AND

FIRE?

>> HA.

OF COURSE.

>> WHAT ABOUT MAKING IT LIFT

OFF?

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING

TO DO YET.

I MEAN, THERE WILL BE SOME SORT

OF EFFECTS.

I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU GUYS

A GREAT CAKE.

THIS IS NASA.

I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A KID

IN A CANDY STORE, BUT I LOVE

THIS PLACE.

WHATEVER YOU CAN SHOW ME,

THE MORE, THE BETTER.

>> SO, WHAT ARE WE THINKING --

THREE, FOUR TIERS?

>> SO THIS WEEK, BUDDY THROWS

DOWN A CHALLENGE.

HE WANTS ALL THE DECORATORS

TO COME UP WITH SOME NEW CAKES.

THE THING IS, BUDDY IS AT NASA.

SO I THOUGHT I'D GO AROUND AND

SEE IF ANYBODY NEEDS SOME HELP.

YOU ALL RIGHT NOW?

YOU GOT IT UNDER CONTROL?

>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

>> YOU SURE?

>> NO.

>> LESLIE?

>> HE'LL BE FINE.

>> LESLIE'S HELPING ME.

>> SO, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?

>> WE'RE MAKING THIS FOUR-TIERED

VICTORIAN-ERA CAKE.

>> WE WANT IT TO HAVE KIND OF

THE FEEL OF A VICTORIAN WOMAN'S

DRESS.

>> YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO DO

MINE, BUT I'M STILL HERE

AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

IF YOU NEED A HAND.

>> THANK YOU, FRANKIE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> TO HELP ME GET INSPIRED FOR

THIS NASA CAKE, THEY ACTUALLY

LET ME SEE THE SPACE SHUTTLE

DISCOVERY UP CLOSE.

I EVEN GET TO GO INSIDE AND

ACTUALLY SIT IN A COCKPIT.

AND THEN THEY SHOW ME WHAT TAKES

THIS THING INTO OUTER SPACE.

>> THAT'S THE BUSINESS END OF

ATLANTIS.

THAT'S WHERE THE ENGINES ARE.

>> THAT'S SOME POWER.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT THREE

MAIN ENGINES, AND THE TWO LITTLE

RED BELLS UP THERE, THOSE ARE

FOR WHEN WE'RE IN ORBIT AND THEY

NEED TO STEER.

>> BEING THIS CLOSE TO THE

SHUTTLE IS AWESOME, AND, I MEAN,

IT'S STARTING TO COME TO ME HOW

AMAZING I HAVE TO REALLY MAKE

THIS CAKE.

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY COOL WE

GET TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO DO

FOR THAT CAKE, YOU KNOW?

>> YEAH, ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN

WANTING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE

THAT FOR A WHILE -- LIKE SHOW

BUDDY WHAT I CAN DO.

YOU KNOW HE'S BEEN BUGGING YOU

TO DO A PAINTING OF HER FOR A

WHILE, RIGHT?

>> MARY?

>> YEAH, MARY.

YOU SHOULD DO MARY.

THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT.

>> MAN, I-I...

>> MARY?

WAIT, NO, NO.

STOP, STOP, STOP.

MARY, JUAN WANTS TO, UH, ASK YOU

SOMETHING.

HE WANTS TO DO A PAINTING OF YOU

FOR A DISPLAY CAKE FOR THE

STORE.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

>> HOW ABOUT IT?

>> YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT

FOR DISPLAY, YEAH.

SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED?

TELL ME.

>> I NEED A PICTURE OF YOU.

>> YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME A LITTLE

BIT CUTER, A LITTLE BIT THINNER,

A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, PERKIER,

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

>> OKAY.

>> PERKY -- "GOOD MORNING."

"BUON GIORNO."

[ CHUCKLES ]

>> MARY CAN'T HELP BEING MARY.

SO I'M GONNA DO MY BEST TO

MAKE HER HAPPY.

>> JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE

MY FIGURE A LITTLE NICER --

YOU KNOW, A LITTLE PERKY.

DO MY HAIR REAL GOOD.

YOU KNOW INSIDE I HAVE A

BEAUTIFUL SOUL, SO IF YOU COULD

PAINT THAT, THAT WOULD BE

FANTASTIC.

EXCUSE ME. I HAVE WORK TO DO.

>> I'M GONNA SLASH YOUR TIRES.

>> WOW,

SO, THE LAST THING I GET TO

DO WHILE I'M OUT AT NASA IS TO

GO OUT TO THE LAUNCH PAD AND SEE

ENDEAVOUR ALL STACKED UP,

READY FOR ITS FINAL FLIGHT.

>> YOU SEE THE EXTERNAL TANK

AND YOUR TWO SOLID ROCKET

BOOSTERS.

>> IT'S AMAZING.

WOW.

>> YEAH, ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS

OUT HERE.

>> YOU AIN'T KIDDING.

IS THIS COOL OR IS THIS COOL?

>> SO I HOPE YOU'VE GOTTEN A

GOOD TOUR TODAY AND YOU'VE

LEARNED A LOT.

>> DANA, I'M SO INSPIRED TO DO

THIS CAKE.

I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I TOUCHED

HISTORY TODAY.

I MEAN, I WANT TO MAKE THIS CAKE

BLAST OFF.

THAT'S HOW GOOD I FEEL.

>> OUTSTANDING.

WE'RE EXCITED.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO SEE THIS

CAKE.

>> I'M GOING BIG ON THIS CAKE.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A

5-FOOT-HIGH SHUTTLE STACK,

INCLUDING EXTERNAL FUEL TANKS,

THE TWO LAUNCH BOOSTERS, AND,

OF COURSE, THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

THEY SAID THEY WANTED FIRE AND

SMOKE, SO I'M GOING TO GIVE IT

TO THEM.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS

CAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND DO

SOMETHING I'VE NEVER DONE

BEFORE.

HEY, GUYS, COME OVER HERE.

COME ON OVER.

LISTEN, I JUST GOT BACK FROM

NASA.

I MEAN, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE.

>> YOU'RE AN ASTRONAUT NOW?

>> I'D LIKE TO SEND SOME PEOPLE

IN HERE TO THE MOON.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHO.

LISTEN, 30-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF

THE SHUTTLE, AND THEY WANT A

GIANT CAKE.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

>> WHEN YOU SAY "GIANT"?

>> 5 1/2-FOOT-, 6-FOOT-TALL

ROCKET SHIP.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> DON'T WE DO ANYTHING ON A

SMALL SCALE ANYMORE?

BUDDY IS ALWAYS ASKING TO DO

THESE CAKES BIGGER AND BIGGER

AND BIGGER, AND WE'RE GETTING

KIND OF USED TO THAT.

BUT NOW HE'S ASKING US TO DO THE

IMPOSSIBLE.

>> BECAUSE IT'S NASA, I MEAN,

IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD MAKE

THIS CAKE LIFT OFF?

I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO [IMITATING

SHUTTLE EXHAUST]

>> BUT THE THING IS, IS JUST

BECAUSE IT'S NASA, I MEAN, IS

THERE ANY WAY WE CAN MAKE THIS

CAKE LIFT OFF?

THIS WEEK WE'RE MAKING A CAKE

FOR OUR BIGGEST CLIENT EVER.

IT'S FOR NASA.

>> NASA.

>> I MEAN, NASA.

>> IT'S THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM'S

30th ANNIVERSARY AND FINAL YEAR,

AND THEY'RE THROWING A HUGE

PARTY FOR ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A REPLICA OF

THE SPACE SHUTTLE, AND WE'RE

GOING TO MAKE IT BLAST OFF.

I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO [IMITATING

SHUTTLE EXHAUST]

WELL, THAT'S THE PLAN AT LEAST.

I'M GOING TO FIGURE OUT THE

SCHEMATICS, AND THEN WE'LL

FIGURE IT ALL OUT.

>> OKAY.

>> COOL.

>> NOW HE WANTS CAKES TO FLY.

>> YOU LIKE SPACESHIPS, RALPH?

>> I HAVE A FEELING I DON'T.

>> THIS IS WHAT I NEED,

PUSSYCAT.

FOR THE ACTUAL SHUTTLE PART OF

THIS CAKE, ME AND RALPHY BOY ARE

CARVING RICE KRISPIE TREATS IN

THE SHAPE OF THE SHUTTLE.

>> [ IMITATING SHUTTLE EXHAUST ]

>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

WE HAVE BLAST-OFF.

>> WHY DON'T YOU AND DANNY START

FILLING THE BOOSTERS?

TO MAKE THE TWO BOOSTER ROCKETS,

WE'RE USING SIX-INCH SPONGE

FILLED WITH BUTTERCREAM.

WE'RE STACKING THEM AROUND A

PIPE THAT WILL BE THE SUPPORT.

EACH ONE IS GOING TO NEED ABOUT

30 LAYERS OF CAKE.

>> LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS

THING.

THAT'S A LOT OF SPONGE.

>> AND THEN THE EXTERNAL FUEL

TANK -- WE STACKED UP 13-INCH

ROUNDS AND STARTED GETTING IT

ALL DIRTY-ICED.

THE THING IS, NOW THAT I'M

SEEING THE INITIAL STRUCTURE OF

THIS THING COME TOGETHER, I HAVE

NO IDEA HOW I'M GOING TO MAKE IT

BLAST OFF.

YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE REALLY

CRAZY AT THE BAKERY.

WE'RE MAKING MORE CAKES AND

PASTRIES THAN WE EVER MADE.

AND I GOT MY CREW COMING UP

WITH SOME NEW IDEAS FOR A CAKE

CATALOG, AND WE'RE MAKING A CAKE

FOR OUR BIGGEST CLIENT EVER --

NASA.

AND ON TOP OF ALL THIS, I'M

OVERSEEING THE BUILD-OUT FOR OUR

NEW CAKE FACTORY AT LACKAWANNA.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS REALLY

WHAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT.

OKAY, SO OVER HERE...

AND I CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH

TIME HERE BECAUSE I'M NEEDED AT

THE BAKERY.

SO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

>> WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND

YOUR CAKES?

>> UM, IT'S JUST LIKE A BIRTHDAY

CAKE, LIKE ADVENTURE STUFF THAT

MAYBE KIDS WILL LIKE --

YOU KNOW, LIKE SCUBA DIVER

WITH A TREASURE CHEST.

>> HE IS ONE OF MY NEWEST

SCULPTORS...

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A KID

LIKES...

>> YES.

>> ...SEEING SOMEBODY DIVING FOR

A TREASURE CHEST AND GETTING

EATEN BY A SHARK.

...AND SOMETIMES HE'S KIND OF

OUT THERE.

>> WHY DOES THE SQUID HAVE A

KNIFE?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS WHALE

JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, AND,

YOU KNOW, A SQUID HAS TO DEFEND

ITSELF, YOU KNOW...

YOU KNOW, UH, BASICALLY.

>> I LIKE THAT.

I GOT IT.

I GET IT.

HE'S TWISTED.

MY GOD.

>> YEAH, HAND-CARVING ROCKET

SHIPS JUST LIKE THE PIONEERS

USED TO.

>> FOR THIS NASA CAKE, I'VE GOT

RALPHY BOY CARVING THE SHUTTLE

OUT OF RICE KRISPIE TREATS.

>> YOU GOING TO TRY TO DO IT ALL

IN ONE PIECE?

>> I DOUBT IT.

>> THEN THE SHUTTLE IS GETTING

COVERED WITH WHITE FONDANT.

OH, DANNY, LET'S COVER THE

PIPE.

ME AND DANNY GET STARTED PUTTING

FONDANT ON THE SOLID ROCKET

BOOSTERS.

ALL THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF THIS

NASA CAKE ARE STARTING TO LOOK

GOOD.

I JUST HOPE, WHEN WE PUT THIS

ALL TOGETHER, EVERYTHING FITS.

[ YAWNS ]

SO I AIN'T GOING TO LIE TO YOU.

RUNNING BACK AND FORTH FROM THE

BAKERY TO THE NEW CAKE FACTORY,

I'VE BEEN PRETTY TIRED AT WORK.

AND ON TOP OF THAT, BABY CARLO

HAS BEEN KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT.

YOU'RE STILL AWAKE RIGHT NOW?

YEAH. YOU KNOW YOUR DA-DA?

CARLO IS ABOUT TWO MONTHS OLD

NOW, AND WE'RE STILL HAVING A

REALLY HARD TIME GETTING HIM TO

SLEEP.

I MEAN, WE TRY ROCKING HIM TO

SLEEP.

WE TRY WALKING HIM UP AND

DOWN THE HALLWAY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I KNOW, HONEY.

I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED AND

YOU'RE WORRIED AND YOU'RE A

GOOD MOTHER, BUT DON'T WORRY.

HE'S GOING TO BE FINE.

AS HARD AS IT IS ON ME, IT'S

EVEN HARDER ON MY WIFE, LISA.

IF WE GOT TO GO SEE THE DOCTOR

AGAIN, WE'LL GO SEE THE OTHER

DOCTOR.

I MEAN, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.

AND AT THIS POINT, HE'S NOT

EATING RIGHT, AND HE'S CRYING

ALL NIGHT LONG.

WE'VE CHANGED HIS FORMULA.

WE'VE TAKEN HIM TO DOCTORS.

BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO KEEP

GETTING WORSE.

ALL RIGHT.

I LOVE YOU, TOO. BYE.

>> ALL RIGHT. 83!

WHO'S GOT NUMBER 83?

WOW, OKAY.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT, HONEY?

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?

>> IT'S REALLY GREAT TO HAVE MY

MOM BACK IN TOWN FOR THE NEXT

COUPLE WEEKS.

>> MY BUDDY USED TO MAKE

THESE -- MY LATE HUSBAND'S

RECIPE, SO THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

>> SHE BRINGS SO MUCH ENERGY

AND LIFE TO THE BAKERY.

>> THEY'RE GONNA GET IT FOR ME.

WHERE'S THE LOBSTER TAILS?

THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES, TOO.

>> LISTEN, UM, MOMMY'S

BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP.

SO I WANTED TO THROW A LITTLE

SURPRISE PARTY.

>> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

>> THE THING IS, IS I JUST WANT

HER TO FEEL SPECIAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WITH ALL THE GROWTH IN

LACKAWANNA, I JUST WANT HER TO

KNOW THAT THERE'S A TRADITION IN

THIS BAKERY THAT WILL NOT BE

COMPROMISED AND NOT BE CHANGED.

>> I LIKE THAT.

>> THAT'S WHAT SHE GETS NERVOUS

ABOUT.

>> I LIKE THAT.

>> SO, FOR HER BIRTHDAY, I

REALLY GOT TO MAKE HER A GREAT

CAKE TO SHOW HER THAT WE'LL

ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR ROOTS, NEVER

FORGET WHERE WE CAME FROM, AND

STAY TRUE TO WHO WE ARE.

>> YOU STILL DIDN'T GET YOUR

CAKE DONE YET.

>> GET IT DONE?

I DIDN'T EVEN START IT.

>> YOU DIDN'T EVEN START YET?

I'LL HELP YOU.

>> BUDDY'S GOT US ALL RUNNING

AROUND TRYING TO MAKE THESE

CAKES FOR THE CATALOG, AND I

HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO START

MINE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING

TO HELP EVERYBODY ELSE.

BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

EVERYBODY IS DOING THESE BIG

FANCY WEDDING CAKES, BUT I KNOW

FROM EXPERIENCE THAT BIRTHDAY

CAKES SELL THE MOST.

SO I'M GOING TO DO MY OWN TWIST

ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

IT'S A SIMPLE CAKE WITH CUPCAKES

ADDED ON TOP.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN

EASILY BE PRODUCED, AND WE CAN

SELL A LOT OF THEM.

>> SO JUAN CAME UP WITH A GREAT

IDEA FOR THIS CAKE.

HE'S MAKING A BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH

A PORTRAIT.

THE ONLY THING IS, THE POOR GUY

CHOSE MY SISTER MARY AS HIS

MODEL.

>> HOW AM I LOOKING?

OH, MY GOD.

WHY AM I NOT SMILING?

>> 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT SMILING IN

THE PICTURE.

>> BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SMILING ON

THE PICTURE.

>> YOU DIDN'T TELL ME TO SMILE

WHEN...

>> SO YOU DON'T LIKE THE

PAINTING?

>> IT DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE ME,

DOES IT?

>> YOU KNOW, MARY CAME IN, AND

SHE'S LOOKING AT THE PAINTING,

AND SHE'S SCREAMING ABOUT HOW

SHE WASN'T SMILING, AND I SAID,

"I'M MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THE

PICTURE THAT YOU GAVE ME."

>> MY PIGMENTATION IS VERY OFF.

CAN YOU MAKE ME SMILE?

WHY IS THIS ONE DARK HIGHLIGHT?

>> LADY, I'M MAKING A PICTURE

OF YOU OUT OF FOOD.

>> EVERYBODY'S GOING STRONG ON

THEIR CAKES FOR THE CATALOG,

AND WE GOT THIS NASA CAKE

STARTING TO PROGRESS.

NOW IT'S TIME THAT I DECIDE WHAT

I'M GOING TO DO FOR THE CATALOG

CAKES.

>> WELL, YOU JUST GOT TO PICK

ONE AND GO WITH IT.

>> SUNSHINE IS ONE OF MY BEST

CAKE DECORATORS.

ME AND HER, WE'VE MADE A LOT OF

CAKES TOGETHER.

>> FIVE YEARS AGO, I CAME HERE

TO APPLY FOR AN INTERNSHIP.

BUDDY HAD NEVER HAD AN INTERN

BEFORE, NEVER HAD A GIRL WORK

UPSTAIRS BEFORE.

>> AS LONG AS ME AND YOU LIKE

IT, SUNSHINE, THAT'S ALL THAT

MATTERS.

>> UM, BUD, I'VE GOT SOMETHING

TO TELL YOU.

>> WHAT'S UP?

>> I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN

A PROGRAM AT SCHOOL THAT'S GOING

TO ALLOW ME TO FINISH NINE

MONTHS EARLIER.

>> YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS, BUT

A FEW YEARS AGO, SUNSHINE

STARTED TAKING CLASSES TO BECOME

A NURSE.

THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

>> BUT THE THING IS THAT I HAVE

TO STOP WORKING THIS MAY.

AND I KNOW IT'S A HUGE THING,

AND IT'S SAD, BUT I KIND OF

CAN'T PASS IT UP.

>> I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN

WANTING TO BECOME A NURSE FOR

A LONG TIME, AND YOU WORKED HARD

IN SCHOOL FOR IT.

BESIDES YOU BEING A GOOD WORKER,

I'M GOING TO MISS YOU BECAUSE

I'M GOING TO MISS YOU AND NOT

HAVING YOU AROUND HERE, BUT I

UNDERSTAND, AND YOU KNOW...

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

OVER THE YEARS, A LOT OF

EMPLOYEES HAVE CAME AND GONE.

MY FIRST GIRL WHO EVER WORKED

FOR ME.

I MEAN, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT

IS.

WE ALL GOT TO GROW, CHANGE,

ACCEPT NEW CHALLENGES.

SOMETIMES THAT MEANS LEAVING.

>> I'M ALL RED.

REDDER THAN I WAS.

>> SO, THIS WEEK, WE'RE TAKING

THE NEXT STEP IN MY NEW PLAN FOR

CARLO'S.

WE'RE BUILDING OUT THE NEW CAKE

FACTORY AT LACKAWANNA.

THIS IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING.

I MEAN, IT'S AN ENORMOUS SPACE,

AND IT'S CONSUMING A LOT OF MY

TIME.

BUT, INEVITABLY, IT'S THE FUTURE

OF MY FAMILY.

THAT'S GOOD.

MEANWHILE, AT THE BAKERY, I'VE

ASSIGNED ALL THE DECORATORS WITH

THE TASK OF COMING UP WITH SOME

NEW CAKE IDEAS FOR THE CATALOG,

AND IT'S GONNA SHOW ME WHO'S

READY TO STEP UP AND BE SOMEBODY

AT THE NEW CAKE FACTORY.

>> MY CAKE IS A THREE-TIER ICED

IN IVORY OR WHITE, AND I'M GOING

TO HAVE BRUSHED EMBROIDERY COME

DOWN, LIKE, IN A CASCADE.

>> JUST PROBABLY GONNA

BASKET-WEAVE WITH ALL THE NICE

LITTLE FLOWERS COMING OUT OF IT,

JUST A LITTLE SAMPLE OF ALL THE

FLOWERS THAT WE DO WITH SUGAR.

MAYBE TRY TO GET SOME TULIPS IN

THERE.

>> WATCH YOUR BACK.

GIANT ROCKET COMING THROUGH.

AND WE'RE WORKING FOR THE

BIGGEST CLIENT WE'VE EVER HAD AT

CARLO'S BAKERY -- NASA.

>> 14 AND 3/4.

>> WE'RE COVERING THE FUEL TANKS

WITH ORANGE FONDANT.

>> THAT'S A LOT OF CAKE, MAN.

>> AND I GOT RALPH AND TYNE

PUTTING ALL THE WINDOWS AND

DETAILS ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

>> WHAT ELSE?

>> THE REST OF THE SLANT UP

AGAINST THE PENTAZOID THERE.

THAT'S WHAT THIS SHAPE IS, YEAH.

>> AND I THINK I FINALLY FIGURED

OUT WHO CAN MAKE THIS CAKE

LAUNCH.

>> WHAT'S UP, BUDDY?

>> HEY.

>> HOW ARE YOU, PAL?

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

DREW IS A SPECIAL-EFFECTS GUY

WHO WORKS ON ALL KINDS OF MOVIES

AND CRAZY KINDS OF STUFF.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO CAN HELP

ME MAKE THIS CAKE LAUNCH, IT'S

HIM.

SO, I'M MAKING A CAKE FOR NASA.

YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY COOL.

AND I HAVE THIS VISION OF THE

CAKE ALMOST LIFTING OFF.

I KNOW YOU KNOW I'M A CRAZY

GUY, AND I KNOW YOU'RE A LITTLE

CRAZY, TOO.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WE COULD FIGURE SOMETHING COOL

OUT.

I CAN DRAW SOMETHING OUT FOR YOU

REAL QUICK.

>> JUST SHOW ME WHAT YOU THINK.

>> IF WE HAVE A SIZZLE LIFT HERE

WITH A PLATFORM THAT'S LIKE

THIS, THE ROCKET WOULD BE ON

HERE.

THIS WAY WE WOULD HAVE A REALLY

GOOD, STABLE PLATFORM.

AS THIS SCISSOR LIFT GOES UP

LIKE THIS, THE ROCKET WILL GO

UP, AND WE CAN PUT THE

PYROTECHNICS IN HERE THAT'S

SHOOTING DOWN.

>> I THINK DREW HAS A GOOD PLAN.

THE THING IS, HE'S GONNA BE

DOING THIS AT HIS EFFECTS SHOP.

BUT I'VE WORKED WITH DREW

BEFORE, AND I TRUST HIM.

>> I WANT THIS CAKE TO LOOK LIKE

IT'S LIFTING OFF.

I MEAN, FIREWORKS.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.

>> YEAH, NO.

IT WILL BE AWESOME.

>> YOU'RE THE MAN.

I TRUST YOU, BROTHER.

>> ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU GUYS.

>> THANKS, DREW.

TAKE IT EASY, BROTHER.

>> BYE.

>> THE OTHER BIG CAKE WE GOT

THIS WEEK IS A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY

CAKE FOR MAMA.

I GOT FRANKIE AND DANNY CARVING

BLACK AND WHITE CAKE FOR THE

HEARTS.

THE FILLING IS MAMA'S FAVORITE,

WITH SOME SPECIAL TWISTS.

WE'RE USING A LITTLE GANACHE,

SOME HAZELNUT-FLAVORED

BUTTERCREAM, CRUSHED HAZELNUTS,

AND PUFFED RICE TO ADD SOME NICE

TEXTURE.

MAMA'S GONNA LOVE IT.

MAMA'S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CAKE IS

AN OLD DESIGN INSPIRED BY MY

FATHER.

TWO INTERLOCKING HEARTS ICED IN

BUTTERCREAM WITH ALL KINDS OF

BUTTERCREAM FLOWERS.

THAT'S OLD-SCHOOL, BABY!

SO I DECIDED TO GET MY SISTERS

INVOLVED.

I WANT YOU GUYS TO WRITE A

COUPLE WORDS TO DESCRIBE MOMMY

AND KIND OF PUT THEM AROUND ON

THE BOTTOM OUT OF FONDANT.

ADJECTIVES.

>> WHAT'S THE FIRST WORD WHEN

YOU THINK OF YOUR MOTHER?

>> AN ADJECTIVE.

>> TO DESCRIBE HER.

>> LOVING, I WOULD SAY.

>> CLASSY.

SHE'S A VERY CLASSY GIRL.

>> ENERGETIC.

>> LOYAL.

HOW ABOUT LOYAL?

>> SHE'S AN ENTERTAINER.

>> ENTERTAINER.

>> ENTERTAINER IS GOOD.

I LIKE THAT ONE.

>> SHE'S NOT A TEACHER OR

EDUCATOR.

>> SHUT UP.

SHE TAUGHT YOU SOME STUFF.

>> NO.

>> WRONG PERSON.

>> ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

EVERYBODY, BRING OVER THEIR

CAKES.

GATHER 'ROUND.

FOR THIS NEW CAKE CATALOG, I'M

LOOKING FOR CAKES THAT ARE

DIFFERENT, SOME NEW INNOVATIONS,

CAKES THAT PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT

AND JUST WANT TO BUY.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO

TELL YOU GUYS WHAT A GREAT JOB

YOU ALL DID.

I LIKE ALL THE CAKES SO MUCH.

I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL GREAT.

LIZ -- THE CHERRIES.

YOU DID A HELL OF A JOB TYING IN

BLACK AND WHITE.

IT HAS, LIKE, A GREAT COUNTRY

FEEL.

RACHEL -- CLASSIC, BEAUTIFUL

FLOWERS, WEDDING CAKE.

FLAWLESS, CLEAN WORK.

JUAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PICKED

THE RIGHT PERSON TO MAKE A

PORTRAIT OF, BUT, LISTEN, YOU'RE

AN ARTIST.

YOU'RE TRULY AN ARTIST.

MAURO, LOVE THE BASKET WEAVING

ON IT, THE COLOR COMBINATION

WITH THE FLOWERS.

JUST PHENOMENAL.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA

REALLY LIKE IT.

FRANKIE, THAT'S AN AWESOME CAKE.

PEOPLE ARE GONNA WANT TO BUY

THAT FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE SPIN ON IT,

STICKING THE CUPCAKES ON THERE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, AND I GUARANTEE

YOU WE'RE GONNA SELL LOTS OF

THOSE.

BUT BESIDES THAT, YOU HELPED

EVERYBODY HERE SET UP THEIR

CAKES AND GET THEM STARTED.

YOU STEPPED UP AS A LEADER.

YOU KNOW, AND WITH THE ADDITIONS

FOR LACKAWANNA AND WHAT WE'RE

DOING, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO

SEE.

I MEAN, INEVITABLY, I WANTED TO

SEE YOU GUYS KIND OF COMPETE OR

WORK AS A TEAM.

AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE

CAKES IS DEFINITELY GONNA GO IN

OUR NEW BOOK AND CATALOG.

>> YEAH.

>> WELL, GUYS, EVERYBODY DID A

GOOD JOB.

CAN I HAVE A GANACHE?

>> GANACHE!

>> GANACHE. COOL.

I'M PROUD OF MY TEAM.

EVERYBODY STEPPED UP.

AND MOST OF THE CAKES WILL BE

COOL IN THE CATALOG, WITH THE

EXCEPTION OF JUAN'S CAKE.

FRANKIE REALLY SHOWED ME SOME

SMARTS AND LEADERSHIP DURING

THIS COMPETITION.

AND SURPRISE, FRANKIE'S CAKE IS

GOING IN CARLO'S BAKERY'S

WINDOW.

SO I DECIDED TO LET HIM OVERSEE

THE SPECIAL EFFECTS FOR THIS

NASA CAKE.

HE'S GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT DREW

COMES UP WITH A PLAN THAT'S

GONNA WORK.

>> SO, THIS IS OUR BABY RIGHT

HERE?

>> THIS IS IT.

>> THIS THING'S SERIOUS, HUH?

>> WE'VE GOT THIS BIG SCISSOR

LIFT THAT'S GONNA LIFT THIS HUGE

CAKE.

I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING SOME

SERIOUS HEIGHT AND WEIGHT HERE.

>> WE'RE GONNA IGNITE THE PYRO

FIRST AND JUST LET IT SIT THERE

FOR A MINUTE, LIKE...

[ IMITATES IGNITION ]

AND THEN WE'LL JUST RAISE THE

CAKE UP.

>> SO, DREW'S PLAN IS TO MOUNT

THE SHUTTLE CAKE ON THE END OF

THE SCISSOR LIFT AND THEN MOUNT

THE PYRO UNDERNEATH THE CAKE.

AS HE SETS OFF THE PYRO, HE'LL

LIFT THE WHOLE CONTRAPTION, AND

IT WILL LOOK JUST LIKE THE

SHUTTLE'S TAKING OFF.

>> I HAVE SOME NEW PYRO.

>> WHOA.

THAT'S COOL.

>> DREW'S PLAN IS GOOD, BUT WE

ALL KNOW PLANNING SOMETHING AND

ACTUALLY MAKING IT HAPPEN ARE

TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

>> LET'S KICK IT OLD-SCHOOL,

BABY.

LET'S SEE IF I STILL GOT IT.

FOR MAMA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE, I'M

MAKING A CLASSIC CAKE THAT MY

DAD USED TO MAKE.

IT'S A DOUBLE HEART CAKE

INTERLOCKING, ICED IN

BUTTERCREAM.

>> WE USED TO DO EVERY CAKE LIKE

THAT -- EVERY SINGLE ONE.

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE CAKES,

THOUGH.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.

I KNOW EVERYBODY LOVES FONDANTS

AND EVERYTHING, BUT SEEING STUFF

LIKE THIS, ALL THOSE FLOWERS,

MAN, WE USED TO MAKE...

>> BUT LOOK HOW MANY FLOWERS I

MADE QUICK.

>> I KNOW.

>> YOU KNOW?

>> BUT YOU'RE GONNA PUT ALL

THOSE SAYINGS THERE, RIGHT?

>> WORDS THAT DESCRIBE MOMMY.

>> SHE'S GONNA LOVE IT.

>> ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> OKAY, LET'S GO UP HERE.

LET'S GO UP IN THE CORNER.

LET'S GO UP IN THE CORNER.

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

>> I'M STILL NOT SUPPOSED TO BE

LIFTING ANYTHING HEAVY FROM MY

HERNIA SURGERY.

SO THE GUYS ARE LIFTING THIS

NASA CAKE.

WE GOT THE FUEL TANK AND ROCKET

BOOSTERS COMPLETED, AND THE

SHUTTLE IS ALMOST DONE.

>> OH, IT LOOKS LIKE A

SPACESHIP.

>> EVERYTHING AT THE BAKERY AND

AT THE FACTORY ARE GOING WELL.

THINGS ARE ACTUALLY UNDER

CONTROL FOR A MOMENT.

HELLO?

AND THEN I GET A PHONE CALL THAT

THROWS ME FOR A LOOP.

WAIT. CALM DOWN.

CALM DOWN.

WHAT'S WRONG, SWEETIE?

>> WAIT. CALM DOWN.

CALM DOWN.

WHAT'S WRONG, SWEETIE?

I GET A CALL FROM LISA.

OUR NEWBORN BABY, CARLO, WON'T

EAT ANYTHING.

WELL, DID YOU CALL THE DOCTOR?

GOOD NEWS IS THE DOCTOR CAN SEE

HIM RIGHT AWAY, BUT THAT MEANS

I'VE GOT TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

LISTEN.

THE BAD NEWS IS, THE NASA CAKE

NEEDS TO GET FINISHED AND PUT ON

THE ROAD TO FLORIDA, AND I AIN'T

GONNA BE THERE TO DO THAT.

I CAN'T STICK AROUND BECAUSE

I'VE GOT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR'S

WITH MY WIFE.

I NEED THIS TO BE FOLLOWED

THROUGH WITHOUT ME SEEING IT BUT

EXACTLY THE WAY I WANT IT --

SECURED, BEAUTIFUL, NO QUESTIONS

ASKED.

FRANKIE, IT'S ON YOU.

YOU KNOW, I PUT FRANKIE IN

CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THAT

DREW'S SPECIAL EFFECTS WORK.

NOW I'M GONNA GIVE HIM THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF MAKING SURE

THAT THIS CAKE IS ATTACHED TO

DREW'S LIFT CORRECTLY AND THAT

IT GETS IN THE TRUCK.

MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT.

MAKE SURE IT'S SECURE IN THE

TRUCK.

OKAY?

AND YOU, MY FRIEND, DRIVE IT

DOWN THERE.

I TRUST YOU.

GODSPEED.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE

GOT TO START TO DO MORE OFTEN,

PUTTING SOMEBODY IN CHARGE,

TRUSTING MY TEAM, BECAUSE I

CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.

SEE YOU IN FLORIDA.

MAKE ME PROUD.

[ TRUCK BEEPING ]

>> READY?

ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> NICE AND EVEN.

THAT'S IT.

COME ON.

NICE AND EASY.

NICE AND EASY.

MAURO, YOU'VE GOT TO SWITCH YOUR

HANDS AROUND, BRO.

WATCH, OR YOU'RE GONNA GET

CAUGHT IN BETWEEN.

HOLD ON.

JUST LET DREW LINE US UP FROM

UNDERNEATH.

TIME IS TICKING AWAY.

EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS CAKE

MOUNTED ON THE SCISSOR LIFT

BEFORE WE CAN DRIVE IT DOWN TO

FLORIDA.

>> GO AHEAD. YOU GOT IT.

JUST GO.

>> OH, YEAH!

>> WE GOT IT.

>> YES.

>> SWEET.

>> NOTHING LIKE A LITTLE HARD

WORK AND ITALIAN INGENUITY.

>> YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

>> ALL RIGHT.

A COUPLE SCREWS, AND WE'RE

ALMOST THERE.

>> OKAY. WHOA.

>> EASY, EASY.

>> GO AHEAD.

THERE WE GO.

>> THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE.

>> OKAY.

SO LET'S STOP HERE.

ALL RIGHT, PERFECT.

>> LOOKS GOOD.

>> HEY, GUYS, COME CHECK IT OUT.

>> NICE.

>> OH, WOW.

>> LOOKS GREAT.

>> THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

>> THAT DOES.

>> AWESOME.

>> PROBABLY ONE OF THE COOLEST

CAKES.

>> IS IT?

>> IT'S GONNA LOOK BEAUTIFUL,

MAN.

>> IT DOES.

IT LOOKS GREAT.

[ APPLAUSE ]

GOOD JOB.

>> COME ON, GUYS.

>> THIS CAKE HAS A LONG WAY TO

GO.

NASA'S NOT AROUND THE CORNER.

SO IF BUDDY OPENS THIS TRUCK AND

SOMETHING GOES WRONG...

[ BABY FUSSES ]

>> BABY CARLO HASN'T BEEN

SLEEPING WELL FOR DAYS, AND NOW

HE'S NOT EATING RIGHT, AND ME

AND LISA ARE REALLY WORRIED.

>> I'M DR. VERGA.

>> HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> HI, DOCTOR. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M BUDDY.

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.

>> THIS IS CARLO.

THE FIRST FOUR WEEKS OF HIS LIFE

WAS BEAUTIFUL.

THEN I STARTED NOTICING MAYBE

ONE BOTTLE THAT HE WOULD FUSS.

>> WAS HE PULLING AWAY FROM IT?

>> HE WANTED IT, BUT EVERY TIME

HE SUCKED, HE WOULD START

SCREAMING.

>> OKAY.

[ BABY CRIES ]

>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUR FOURTH

CHILD, AND IT'S NEVER EASY WHEN

ONE OF THEM IS SICK.

I JUST HOPE THAT EVERYTHING IS

GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

>> BABIES WHO HAVE REACTIONS TO

THE PROTEIN THAT'S IN MILK, HALF

OF THEM ALSO HAVE REACTIONS TO

THE PROTEIN THAT'S IN SOY.

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF

PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS A

THREE-WEEK TRIAL OF A

HYPOALLERGENIC FORMULA.

>> I DID.

>> FOR HOW LONG?

>> TWO DAYS.

>> YOU HAVE TO TRY IT FOR THREE

WEEKS.

>> BUT HE WASN'T TAKING IT.

>> YEAH, IT TASTES TERRIBLE.

>> YEAH.

>> WE USUALLY SAY PUT A DROP OF

VANILLA IN THE BOTTLE.

>> I'M AFRAID TO PUT VANILLA.

>> ONE DROP.

>> HIS DAD'S A BAKER.

>> IF I HAD TO DO THIS WITH MY

OWN KIDS...

>> LIKE, YOU BUY

OVER-THE-COUNTER VANILLA

EXTRACT?

>> VANILLA EXTRACT?

I CAN BRING YOU A GALLON.

I HAVE IT AT THE BAKERY.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE IT,

LIKE, CRAZY.

>> I WASN'T GONNA BAKE HIM A

CAKE.

YOU PUT A DROP OF VANILLA IN.

>> I'M A VERY PROTECTIVE MOTHER,

BUT I'M GONNA FOLLOW WHAT THE

DOCTOR SAYS AND HOPE EVERY NIGHT

THAT I GO TO BED THAT TOMORROW'S

GONNA BE A BETTER DAY.

>> WHAT A RELIEF.

I HOPE THAT THIS NEW FORMULA

DOES THE TRICK FOR CARLO.

I MEAN, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO

LEAVE LISA AND THE KIDS RIGHT

NOW, BUT I'VE GOT TO RACE DOWN

TO FLORIDA AND GET THIS NASA

CAKE WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO,

BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE JOB FOR

US.

>> FOR THAT TEAM, YOU WORKERS,

AND YOUR FAMILIES, THANK YOU.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> IT'S THE BIG DAY.

NASA IS HONORING ITS EMPLOYEES

WHO WORK ON THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM,

BECAUSE TODAY IS THE 30th

ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST SHUTTLE

LAUNCH AND THE FINAL YEAR OF THE

SHUTTLE PROGRAM.

SO FRANKIE AND I FLEW DOWN LAST

NIGHT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS DANNY

AND ANTHONY AIN'T HERE YET.

ALL RIGHT, MAN.

WHERE ARE THESE GUYS?

>> ANTHONY, COME ON.

YOU GOT TO GET HERE.

>> COME ON.

AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'M A

LITTLE WORRIED.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

THIS CAKE GETS HERE IN ONE

PIECE.

>> READY?

>> ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ON A

1,000-MILE RIDE, ESPECIALLY IF

YOU PUT DANNY AND ANTHONY BEHIND

THE WHEEL.

OH, MY GOD.

>> OH, MY GOD.

SO WE OPEN UP THE BACK DOOR,

LOOK AT THE CAKE, AND IT'S LIKE

A BIG CHUNK OF IT FELL OFF.

>> IT'S SCREWED, MAN.

>> WE'VE GOT TO FIX THIS THING.

WE'RE ONLY 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM

DELIVERING IT TO A HUGE PARTY TO

CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF THE SPACE

SHUTTLE.

>> NO. I GOT IT.

ANTHONY, DON'T TOUCH THE

SHUTTLE.

>> EASY, EASY.

>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER NEEDS NO

INTRODUCTION.

HE'S A MEMBER OF THE ASTRONAUT

HALL OF FAME.

CHARLIE BOLDEN.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> ONE, TWO, THREE.

ALL RIGHT.

>> THANKS VERY MUCH.

IT'S A PLEASURE FOR ME TO BE

HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

>> T-MINUS 20 MINUTES.

HOBOKEN, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

>> COME IN TOWARDS ME NOW, YOU

GUYS.

LIKE THAT.

>> GO MORE.

>> HOW'S THAT?

>> I MEAN, IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME

REAL ROCKET SCIENCE TO PUT THIS

CAKE BACK TOGETHER.

>> FOR NOW, IT'S EVEN.

>> YEAH.

NOW SHE'S EVEN.

>> ARE WE GONNA FIX IT?

>> SCREW RIGHT THERE, YEAH.

>> IT'S LIKE I'M AN ENGINEER

DIAGNOSING A TECHNICAL PROBLEM.

YOU'VE GOT TO SHAVE ANOTHER HAIR

OFF OF THIS.

>> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MARVEL.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FEAT OF

ENGINEERING IT REALLY IS.

>> WE'RE MOVING AS FAST AS WE

CAN, FILLING AND RECOVERING THE

EXTERNAL FUEL TANK, USING ONLY

A LITTLE BUTTERCREAM AND

FONDANT THAT WE HAVE ON HAND.

>> AND IT HAS GIVEN US AN

OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE WORLD

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH AMERICAN

INGENUITY.

>> DREW FINISHES ATTACHING ALL

HIS PYROTECHNICS, AND WE'RE

LOOKING GOOD.

THAT'S IT. ALL DONE.

NOW WE JUST NEED TO GET THIS

INTO PLACE FOR THE BIG LAUNCH.

PUSH.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> EVERYBODY, WELCOME

BUDDY VALASTRO AND HIS LATEST

INCREDIBLE CREATION.

>> WHOO!

>> WE WHEEL THIS THING OUT

THERE, AND, I MEAN, THE CROWD

GOES CRAZY.

AND I'M THINKING, YOU AIN'T SEEN

NOTHING YET.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M

HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY TO MAKE

A CAKE FOR NASA.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT'S ABOUT

THE TECHNOLOGY WITH NASA, BUT I

THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE

THAN THE TECHNOLOGY.

IT'S THE PEOPLE.

AND THAT'S WHY THE SHUTTLE HAS

BEEN A SUCCESS FOR 30 YEARS.

GOD BLESS!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> YEAH!

>> SO THIS ISN'T THE END OF THE

SHOW HERE, ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO STEP BACK,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO SHOW YOU

WHAT THIS BABY CAN DO.

>> UH-OH.

>> ALL RIGHT? YOU READY?

>> YEAH!

>> ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT TO HELP ME COUNT IT

DOWN, ALL RIGHT?

10, 9, 8...

AS I'M COUNTING DOWN, I'M NOT

REALLY SURE HOW THIS WHOLE THING

IS GONNA WORK.

I PUT A LOT OF TRUST IN FRANKIE

AND DREW THAT THIS THING WILL

LIFT OFF, AND I JUST HOPE THAT

THEY DELIVER.

...3, 2, 1.

BLAST OFF!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

OH, YEAH.

ALL THE WAY UP.

ALL THE WAY UP.

LET IT GO.

OH, YEAH.

KEEP IT GOING!

KEEP IT GOING!

HIGHER, HIGHER, HIGHER!

BLAST OFF!

KEEP IT GOING!

LOOK AT IT GO, BABY!

OH, YEAH!

WE HAVE LIFTOFF!

>> OH, MY GOSH.

THAT IS AN AWESOME CAKE.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GONNA MOVE

OR HAVE THE FIRE AND SMOKE.

I HAD NO IDEA.

>> FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.

>> WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

HOBOKEN, WE HAVE LIFTOFF.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

>> OH, IT'S DELICIOUS.

OH, MY GOSH.

>> EVERYBODY, HERE.

>> LOOK, EMMA'S COMING.

COME ON.

>> OH, THANK YOU.

HI, JOE JOE.

>> OVER HERE, OVER HERE.

COME HERE. COME HERE.

>> SURPRISE!

>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

>> THANK YOU!

>> FOR MAMA'S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY

PARTY, THE WHOLE FAMIGLIA'S

HERE.

SO DID I SURPRISE YOU?

>> I'LL SAY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST US.

>> WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

>> THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,

FAMILY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> AWW, WE LOVE YOU.

>> LET ME TELL YOU, NO MATTER

HOW MANY TIMES WE ALL GET

TOGETHER, WE NEVER GET TIRED

OF IT.

>> COME ON!

LET'S EAT!

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> MAKE A DISH.

EVERYONE MAKE A DISH.

>> WITH ALL THE CHANGES WE'RE

GOING THROUGH AT THE BAKERY AND

THE STRESS WE'RE ALL FEELING

ABOUT THE NEW CAKE FACTORY AT

LACKAWANNA, I REALLY NEED TO

MAKE SURE THAT MAMA KNOWS THAT

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE TAKEN

CARE OF AND THAT I HAVE HER

BLESSING.

>> WITH ALL THIS GROWTH, I'M SO

HAPPY ABOUT IT, BUT AT THE SAME

TIME, IT'S OVERWHELMING, AND

IT'S SCARY AT TIMES.

AND I JUST -- YOU KNOW, I'M

CONCERNED HOW YOU KIDS ALL HAVE

TO WORK SO HARD.

YOU KNOW, AND IT'S A LOT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU THANK GOD,

BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT

MOST PEOPLE ONLY DREAM ABOUT,

AND SO WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW,

TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME, AND

WE'LL SEE WHERE IT LEADS US.

>> AND WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER.

>> WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE MOST --

YOU'VE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER.

>> I WANTED TO THROW THIS PARTY

TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE

STILL REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT

TO US, AND WE LOVE YOU VERY

MUCH.

AND EVEN THOUGH, IN THE GROWTH

OF THE BAKERY, WE'RE GONNA KEEP

TRADITIONS, AND NO MATTER HOW

BIG OR HOW SMALL WE ARE, THAT

WILL NEVER CHANGE.

AND WE GOT A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR

YOU THAT WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU

BECAUSE, ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU SEE

THE SURPRISE, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND

MORE.

>> MY CAKE?

>> ALL RIGHT. EYES CLOSED.

>> EYES CLOSED.

>> ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> SURPRISE!

>> AAH!

OH, MY GOD!

I HAVEN'T SEEN SOMETHING LIKE

THIS IN SO MANY YEARS.

THIS IS A DESIGN THAT DADDY

WOULD MAKE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THE HEART.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> THESE ARE ALL ADJECTIVES THAT

MAKE US THINK OF YOU.

THIS IS WHAT'S IN OUR HEART.

>> OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.

>> YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'RE LOYAL.

YOU'RE LOVING.

AND THE ONE YOU'RE GONNA

APPRECIATE THE MOST HERE --

YOU'LL STILL ALWAYS BE MY BOSS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> THAT WAS GOOD.

>> I LOVE YOU.

>> I LOVE YOU, TOO.

THANK YOU.

THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY PROUD.

WHEN I SAW THE CAKE MY SON MADE

TODAY, IT MADE ME THINK OF MY

LATE HUSBAND, 'CAUSE THAT'S ONE

OF THE CAKES THAT HE USED TO

MAKE A LOT, THE DOUBLE HEART.

THAT BROUGHT ME BACK TO WHAT MY

BUDDY DID.

>> WE'RE STILL OLD-FASHIONED.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> OLD-SCHOOL, BABY.

THAT'S HOW WE DO IT.

>> SOME THINGS NEVER GO OUT.

>> I'M TAKING -- I MEAN, THE

WHOLE FAMILY IS TAKING A LOT OF

RISKS HERE ON THIS NEW CAKE

FACTORY AT LACKAWANNA, AND, I

MEAN, THERE'S GONNA BE GROWING

PAINS, AND I'M STRESSED OUT OVER

IT.

BUT WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER,

WE HAVE TO DO IT THE

OLD-FASHIONED WAY, AND WE HAVE

TO STAY FAMIGLIA.
