HI. I'M JAMES.GOOD TO MEET YOU, JAMES.

SEAN.NICE TO MEET YOU GUYS.

OH, YOU GOT SOME-- SOME GOODIES HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? COSTUME PARTY?

AH, NO, NO.

I RUN A VERY INTERESTING

AND UNIQUE ORGANIZATION CALLED KNIGHT REALMS.

IT'S A SOCIAL AND ACTING ORGANIZATION

THAT'S SET IN A FANTASY, MEDIEVAL WORLD THAT I CREATED.

WE'RE PUTTING ON COSTUMES

AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER WITH LATEX SWORDS.

O...KAY.

UH...REALLY?

YEAH. IT'S GREAT. IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.

SO, JAMES AND SEAN FROM KNIGHT REALMS--

THEY RUN A LARP.

IT STANDS FOR "LIVE-ACTION ROLE-PLAYING."

SO, YOU GUYS GO TO, LIKE, A CAMPGROUND.

EVERYBODY DRESSES UP IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.

SO, I DRESS UP AS A WIZARD.

CORRECT. YOU'RE A WIZARD.

WE GOT ELVES, DWARFS.WHO ARE YOU?

I PLAY AN ELVEN ARCHER.

SO I GET TO SHOOT MONSTERS AND OTHER PEOPLE.

- WOW. - YEAH.

DOES THIS SOUND A LITTLE "CORNY"?

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M KIND OF INTRIGUED.

IT'S OUR 18th ANNIVERSARY OF THE GAME.

WE WOULD LIKE A VERY SPECIAL CAKE.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING FOR THE CAKE?

A MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE OF SOME SORT, LIKE...

LIKE A GRIFFIN.

...A GRIFFIN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT HAS THE HEAD OF A BIRD

AND THE BODY OF A LION WITH BIG WINGS.

THAT'S A PRETTY COOL...YEAH.

..."MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE," IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

- YEAH. - UH-HUH.

I THINK WE CAN MAKE THIS CAKE HUGE

AND REALLY DO A GREAT JOB ON IT,

SO I'M PRETTY PSYCHED.

ALSO, WE KNOW RALPH.

SO, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS--

OH, MY RALPH?Sean: YOUR RALPH, YEAH.

HE'S PARTAKEN

IN SOME OF OUR GAMES.OH!

RALPH, MAN.

COME ON, BRO. WE'RE FAMILY.

YOU GOT TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DO.

COULD YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE AMMO SO I COULD PICK ON HIM?

HE IS AN AWESOME CHARACTER ACTOR.

HE'S PLAYED LOTS OF FUNNY CHARACTERS,

LIKE A HUNCHBACK AND A PIRATE.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TELL RALPH ABOUT THIS CAKE

AND CALL HIM OUT ON BEING A SECRET LARPER.

HEY, RALPH.

HEY, BUD.

I, UH, JUST HAD A CONSULTATION...

OKAY.

...WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE THING THAT YOU GO TO--

UM, LIVE-ACTION ROLE PLAY?

LARPING?

AWESOME.

- YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT? - NO.

I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING

THAT I WOULD JUST NEVER HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.

YOU'RE A BIG NERD. I GET IT.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT DOING THE CAKE.

THEY WANT US TO DO A THING CALLED A GRIFFIN.

OKAY. IT'S LIKE A HALF-LION, HALF-EAGLE.

OKAY, SO, WHAT I'M THINKING IS,

THIS IS ONE OF THE CAKES

THAT WE CAN GO A LITTLE BIT OVER THE TOP WITH.

SO, LIKE, WE DO IT-- MAYBE, LIKE,

WE CAN HAVE THE WINGS COMING OUT.

ANIMAL CAKES ARE ALWAYS FUN FOR US--

THE TEXTURES, THE FEATHERS, THE DETAILS.

SO, I'M GONNA LET RALPH GO IN THE WOODSHOP

AND BUILD THE BOARDS...

KIND OF GET THE SKELETON TOGETHER FOR THIS GRIFFIN CAKE.

MEOW!

SO, I'LL LET CHAD MAKE THE FILLING

'CAUSE HE'S KIND OF LIKE OUR "PASTRY NERD."

CHAD'S DOING A SMOKED-CHOCOLATE FILLING,

AND IT'S GOT CHOCOLATE GRANOLA FOR CRUNCH.

THAT'S WHERE LOVIN' IS.

SO, NOW THAT WE GOT THE STRUCTURE IN PLACE,

THEN WE'RE GONNA BUILD THE CAKE AROUND IT.

WE'RE USING PLAIN VANILLA CAKE.

WE GOT CHAD'S SMOKED-CHOCOLATE FILLING.

PUT THE CRUNCH ON IT.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S HIGH ENOUGH.

WE'LL STOP IT THERE.

SO, NOW WE GOT TO CARVE THE SHAPE OF THE GRIFFIN,

YOU KNOW, THE LION PORTION.

GOT A LITTLE JUNK IN THE TRUNK THERE, GRIF.

THIS CAKE IS STARTING TO COME TOGETHER.

MAURO, YOU'RE WASTING AWAY TO NOTHING.

THAT'S GOOD.

YOU LOOK SKINNY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SKINNY.

YOU LOOK A LOT BETTER.

A LOT THINNER, YES.

ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO,

I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY WEIGHT.

I MEAN, I WAS JUST OUT OF CONTROL,

SO I DECIDED TO DO THE LAP BAND.

IT'S BEEN A DRASTIC CHANGE FOR ME.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS, SO I'VE LOST OVER 100 POUNDS.

THAT'S LIKE HAVING A BAG OF FLOUR LIKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

AND I'M GLAD THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE REALIZE,

BUT I'M ALSO GLAD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

LIKE, I FEEL HEALTHIER AND ALL THAT OTHER GOOD STUFF.

SO, IT'S A GOOD THING.

BUT HIS CLOTHES ARE STARTING TO FALL OFF, YOU KNOW?

HE NEEDS NEW CLOTHES.

THAT'S WHY YOU LOSE WEIGHT-- TO GET NEW CLOTHES.

FELLA, YOU WANT TO GO SHOPPING?

FOR WHAT?FOR CLOTHES.

GOING SHOPPING WITH MADELINE--

IT'S NOT MY FAVORITE THING TO DO.

DID WE HEAR "SHOPPING"?

YES. WE'RE ALL GONNA GO.

LOOK AT HIS FACE.

NOW, GOING SHOPPING WITH MADELINE AND ALL HER SISTERS

IS EVEN BELOW THAT.

YOU HAVE FOUR FASHIONISTAS HERE.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE THE BEST-DRESSED BAKER.

COME ON.

- ACTUALLY, I DO NEED A SUIT. - YOU DO.

THERE YOU GO. COME ON. WE'LL HELP YOU.

SO, WE'LL GO GET A SUIT.

WE'LL SEE. WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

THAT WAS A YES.

THAT WAS A YES! WE'RE GOING!

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE TRYING TO GIVE ME A GIFT

OR THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL ME OR WHATEVER,

BUT SHOPPING IT IS, I GUESS.

OH, GOD, HELP ME.

PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO, I GOT A CONSULTATION TODAY WITH GIOVANNI AND LENORE.

GIOVANNI'S A FOREIGN-EXCHANGE STUDENT,

AND LENORE IS THE HOST MOTHER.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU GUYS?

WELL, GIOVANNI'S JUST WITH US FOR ONE SCHOOL YEAR.

HE'S A HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENT.

KIDS COME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,

AND THEY ARE PLACED WITH DIFFERENT FAMILIES.

THEY LEARN THE LANGUAGE. THEY LEARN THE CULTURE.

THEY MAKE AMERICAN FRIENDS.

AND THEN THE SAD FACT IS

THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE GIOVANNI BACK TO HIS FAMILY

AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

GOING BACK TO WHERE?TO ITALY.

OH, YOU'RE FROM ITALY?YEAH, I'M FROM ITALY.

EXCELLENT. MAURO'S FROM ITALY.

OH, REALLY? YEAH.

MAURO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES FROM ITALY

WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD,

AND I KNOW HE'S GONNA APPRECIATE GIOVANNI'S STORY.

WHAT PART OF ITALY YOU FROM?IT'S IN THE NORTH.

THAT'S WHERE MAURO'S FROM.THAT'S WHERE I'M FROM, TOO.

REALLY? WHERE?LOMBARDIA, MILAN.

YEAH? ME, TOO. LOMBARDIA, MANTOVA.

- SO, YOU GUYS ARE PAISANS, HUH? - YOU'RE LIKE BROTHERS.

PAISANS, YEAH.

SO, GIOVANNI'S BEEN HERE ALMOST A YEAR,

AND HE'S ABOUT TO GO HOME TO ITALY.

HE WANTS TO HAVE A PARTY WITH ALL HIS FRIENDS,

ALL THE FOREIGN-EXCHANGE STUDENTS.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE CAKE?

WELL, IT'S NOT JUST FOR GIOVANNI.

I MEAN, ALL THE KIDS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO THIS PARTY

HAVE BEEN AFS STUDENTS FOR THE YEAR.

IT'S A PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN GOING.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENT.

THE REALLY COOL KIDS IN SCHOOL WERE AFS EXCHANGE STUDENTS,

WHICH IS WHAT MADE ME WANT ONE.

IT'S A PRETTY COOL PROGRAM.

THOUSANDS OF KIDS COME HERE EVERY YEAR

FROM DOZENS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

SO, THE KIDS WHO ARE COMING TO THE PARTY

ARE GOING TO BE FROM ALL OF THE WORLD.

I MEAN, THEY'RE FROM BRAZIL AND BANGLADESH.

YEAH. HOLLAND.YEAH.

ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IT'S A GLOBAL CAKE.

GLOBAL. A GLOBAL CAKE.

I REALLY WANT TO DO A GOOD CAKE FOR GIOVANNI

BECAUSE I WANT HIM TO HAVE A LASTING MEMORY

FOR HIS TIME HERE IN AMERICA.

PAISANS, WE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER, MAN.

YES! THANK YOU.

SO, I'M GONNA HAVE RALPH STACKING

AND START CARVING THE CAKE.

I'M THINKING FOR THIS CAKE

TO DO A GLOBE,

BUT WE'RE GONNA CUT A SECTION OUT

AND MAKE THAT SECTION LIKE THE INSIDE OF A CLASSROOM.

INSIDE, WE DO A LITTLE CHALKBOARD,

WE PUT A STUDENT ON A DESK,

WE PUT A TEACHER.

AND THEN IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE WORLD

COMES TOGETHER IN THE CLASSROOM.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE TELLING A STORY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK A GRIFFIN TASTES LIKE?

PIGEON PROBABLY.OH.

THE GRIFFIN CAKE WE'RE MAKING FOR RALPH'S LARP FRIENDS

IS REALLY STARTING TO COME TOGETHER.

SQUAWK.

AH. IT LOOKS AWESOME.

WE'RE MAKING THE LION LEGS

OUT OF CRISPY TREATS AND MODELING CHOCOLATE.

I LIKE IT.

RALPH IS SCULPTING THE EAGLE HEAD.

RALPH-- WHEN IT COMES TO SCULPTURES,

I MEAN, HE'S THE MAN.

THIS IS WHAT RALPH DOES BEST,

AND IT'S FOR HIS LARPERS, SO HE'S REALLY GONNA GO NUTS.

WHO IN THIS ROOM HAS LARPED?

ANYBODY? WHAT?

LARP.A WHAT?

THIS CAKE ORDER CAME FROM RALPH'S FRIENDS,

WHO-- THEY LARP.

WHAT IS LARP?

LIVE-ACTION ROLE PLAY.

SO, BUNCH OF GUYS...

HE'S TURNING RED!

...GO OUT INTO THE WOODS.

THEY DRESS UP LIKE WIZARDS

AND KNIGHTS AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF,

AND THEY FIGHT EACH OTHER WITH FAKE, RUBBER SWORDS.

SO, IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTMENT,

BUT FOR NERDS.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTORS

AREN'T NERDS?

I WANT TO LARP SO BAD.

YOU WANT TO COME BE MY SQUIRE?

I TOTALLY WANT TO DO THIS.

RALPH'S LIKE, "TRUST ME--

WHEN YOU DO IT, YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT."

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T KNOCK IT UNTIL I TRY IT.

PULL IT AROUND THIS WAY.

SO, RALPH COMES IN WITH HIS BOW AND ARROWS,

AND I PICKED IT UP, I KIND OF LIKED IT.

SO, I FIGURED, "YOU KNOW WHAT? LET ME HAVE A LITTLE FUN."

I'M LARPING!

YOU KNOW WHAT? RALPH IS RIGHT.

LARPING IS PRETTY FUN,

AND I'M DEFINITELY GONNA GIVE IT A TRY WHEN I DELIVER THIS CAKE.

MAURO, GET DOWN!

SO, YOU'RE GONNA BE SO EXCITED, FELLA.

I'M SO EXCITED.

WHOO! BIG AND TALL!DON'T OVERWHELM HIM.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I ONLY CAME HERE FOR ONE THING,

AND I CAME HERE FOR A SUIT.

LAVENDER IS THE NEW BLACK.

LAVENDER IS NICE.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

NOW THAT HE'S THINNER, HE COULD WEAR PATTERNS.

HE COULD TRY.

I CAN TRY THESE TWO RIGHT HERE, RIGHT?

OKAY. YES. ALL RIGHT.

MAURO.

THIS IS WARDROBE, NOT JUST A SUIT.

COME ON. GET UNDRESSED, FELLA.

- TAKE IT OFF. - YOU GOT A HEADACHE?

- NOW I DO. - GIVE HIM ASPIRIN.

I DO NOT LIKE TRYING ON CLOTHES, NO.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TRY ON FIRST?

I MEAN, I'LL TRY-- LIKE, I'LL TRY ANYTHING,

BUT THAT DON'T MEAN I'M GONNA WEAR IT OR BUY IT.

YOU READY?I'M READY.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE.

OOH!

YOU READY?Mauro: I'M READY.

OOH!

YOU NEVER LIKED HAWAIIAN SHIRTS, BUT YOU LOOK CUTE IN THAT.

I STILL DON'T.

MAYBE WE'LL GO TO HONOLULU!

WE'RE IN NEW JERSEY.

THE YOUNG GUYS TODAY-- THEY WEARING PINK

AND PURPLES AND LAVENDERS.

THAT'S NOT ME.

- IT'S NOT PINK. - IT'S CORAL!

IT LOOKS LIKE PINK TO ME.

NO. IT'S CORAL.IT'S CORAL.

HEY, YOU LOOK ADORABLE.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S A KEEPER. NEXT!

I'M MORE OF A PLAIN-JOE KIND OF GUY.

ALL RIGHT, THE HAT, I'M NOT--

NO, NO. I LOVE IT.

OOH, LET ME SEE YOUR BUTT. TURN AROUND.

OH, YEAH, IT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A BUTT.

I DEFINITELY DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS.

THIS IS NOT VOLUNTEER.

COME OUT HERE.

- OH! - OH! YOU COWBOY!

LOVE IT.

THAT SHIRT'S A KEEPER.

VERY EDGY.

I ONLY CAME HERE FOR ONE THING-- THE SUIT.

TRY THE SUIT ON. ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT THREE YEARS THAT I BOUGHT A SUIT.

WE'LL TRY THE JACKET ON WITH THIS.

VERY GOOD.

IT DOES FEEL GOOD TO GO DOWN A COUPLE OF SIZES.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? EVEN THE PANTS.

NOW, YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT MYSELF.

IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

AND WHEN YOU SEE THE RESULTS,

IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING SOMETIMES.

DAMN.

WENT DOWN 104 POUNDS AND 3 SIZES,

SO I'M REAL HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

IT'S KIND OF A BIG DAY.

WHERE'S MY GUY?WHERE'S THE SEXY BEAST?

LOOK AT HIM. HE'S SMILING!

LOOKS GOOD?Grace: WOW!

BUT IT'S NOT ALTERED YET.

THAT SHIRT, TOO, UNDERNEATH.

SO MUCH SLIMMER.

IT'S THREE SIZES SMALLER, TOO.

WHEN I SAW MADELINE'S FACE, RIGHT THERE,

I WAS LIKE, "THIS IS THE SUIT I'M GONNA BUY."

IT'S A LOT EASIER TO SHOP FOR CLOTHES NOW

AFTER TRYING IT ON THIN.

YOU LOOK GOOD.I DO?

TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, I DECIDED TO DO THE SURGERY.

IF MADELINE WASN'T AROUND

AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT IN MY HEAD THAT SHE COULD HELP ME,

I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD IT DONE.

WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED?

I'M HAPPY, SHE'S HAPPY,

AND THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS THESE DAYS.

ARE YOU HAPPY WE CAME?

I'M HAPPY YOU CAME.

AWW. SEE?I AM.

I'M HAPPY YOU GUYS CAME. VERY GOOD.

AWW. GIVE US A HUG, MAURO.

WE'RE PROUD OF YOU, MAURO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.MAURO.

WE HELPED YOU, RIGHT?

MWAH! MWAH!

WELL, WE DO ROYAL ICING BLUE,

AND THEN WE PUT THE PLANET, THE CONTINENTS, STUCK ON.

WE GOT TO FINISH UP THIS FOREIGN-EXCHANGE CAKE

IN TIME FOR GIOVANNI AND HIS FRIENDS' GOODBYE PARTY.

WE'RE GONNA DECORATE THE GLOBE.

WE TAKE SOME BLUE PIPING GEL.

IT'S GONNA BE THE OCEAN.

WE DO THE CONTINENT.

I GOT A EUROPE AND ASIA FOR YOU HERE, BOSS.

CAN YOU SEE ITALY? WHEREVER IT IS.

THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A BOOT.

COME ON, MAURO.

AND WE PUT A STUDENT ON THE DESK.

WE PUT A TEACHER. WE DO LITTLE CHALKBOARDS.

OH, HE'S GONNA WRITE "CIAO." I LOVE IT.

LOVE IT. CIAO. VERY NICE.

I THINK IT'S REALLY CUTE, MAN.

I REALLY WANTED THE CAKE TO TELL THE STORY

FOR THESE KIDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

COMING AND BEING FOREIGN-EXCHANGE STUDENTS.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO SEE IT.

THEY'RE COMING.

ARE THEY?

HOW WE DOING, GUYS?

OH!

SO, WE BRING THIS CAKE IN.

YOU GOT ALL THESE SMILING FACES FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE.

AND IT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?IT'S AMAZING.

OH.

I THINK IT REALLY REPRESENTS

THE EXPERIENCE OF THE EXCHANGE STUDENT,

WHICH IS THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE TO STUDY,

AND EVERYBODY LOVED IT.

WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?!

YOU GOT TO DO IT IN YOUR LANGUAGE.

READY? BRAZIL...

LEBANON.

RIGHT. GERMANY?

ALL RIGHT.

DENMARK?

YOU LIKE THAT ONE?THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

SO, MAYBE IT DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME IN ALL THOSE LANGUAGES,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED THE CAKE.

AND I WAS JUST HAPPY TO MAKE IT FOR THEM.

I'M GONNA TRY TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT CUTTER WE'RE GONNA DO FOR THE FEATHERS

'CAUSE WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA PICK UP A DETAIL.

WE GOT TO MAKE A TON OF THESE FEATHERS.

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

SO, I GOT EVERYBODY MAKING THEM

'CAUSE WE GOT TO GET THIS CAKE GOING.

IT'S HUGE, WE'RE NOT EVEN HALF DONE,

AND THE DELIVERY'S THIS AFTERNOON.

LET'S START THE WINGS, YOU KNOW?

SO, WHY DO THEY WEAR FEATHERS?

CAN THEY FLY? I ASSUME SO.

YOU EVER SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN YOUR LIFE?

NO, DANNY. THEY'RE NOT REAL.

IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.

THIS THING LOOKS AWESOME.

THESE ARE SICK FEATHERS.

THEY LOOK VERY GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT IT LOOKS BAD-ASS.

SO, NOW THAT WE GOT THE WHOLE THING COVERED,

IT'S TIME TO AIRBRUSH IT,

LAYERING THE COLORS AND THE DEPTH.

YOU KNOW, THIS GRIFFIN IS REALLY STARTING TO COME TO LIFE.

FOOTPADS.Joey: OOH.

IT ACTUALLY LOOKS PRETTY COOL, THOUGH.

IT DOES.

FINISH WITH THE AIRBRUSH, I STEP BACK, AND I'M LIKE...

WOW.

IT LOOKS GREAT.

I THINK YOUR FRIENDS ARE GONNA LOVE IT.

I HOPE SO. COME ON.

THIS IS A MEAN-LOOKING GRIFFIN.

HE'S GOT MEAN EYES.

THIS WAS AN AWESOME CAKE.

THAT EAGLE HEAD LOOKS PHENOMENAL.

AND THE FEATHERS WERE PHENOMENAL,

HIS WHOLE POISE AND STANCE.

THE EAGLE TALONS LOOKED REALLY COOL.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW SEAN AND JAMES THIS CAKE,

BUT MOST OF ALL, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO LARPING.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S BRING THIS CAKE.
