COMING UP ON "CAKE BOSS"...

I'M THINKING, LIKE, A GIANT WAFFLE.

WATCH MY CHICKEN.

SO, FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS,

THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN STUDYING ART.

WE MADE THIS MONSTER.

OH, YEAH. MMM. YUMMY, YUMMY.

ROAR!

THIS GUY'S GOT BEAUTIFUL HAIR.

LIKE A YOUNGER MAURO.

I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE DON'T GET PIED AS MUCH AS WE USED TO.

I FEEL LIKE FRANKIE WAS THE RINGLEADER.

I THINK HE HAS IT COMING.

FRANKIE, PLEASE COME TO THE CLASSROOM.

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.

ALL RIGHT, WELCOME.

TODAY, I GOT A CONSULTATION WITH JOHN FROM SWEET CHICK,

WHICH IS A CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLE RESTAURANT.

WE'RE HAVING OUR 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

OF OUR LOWER EAST SIDE LOCATION.

OH, CONGRATS, MAN. THAT'S AWESOME.

SO IT'S A HUGE DEAL FOR US.

I WANT TO DO A BIG PARTY AROUND IT

AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A CAKE.

COOL. SO, WHAT'D YOU BRING ME HERE?

SO, I BROUGHT YOU OUR CLASSIC CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

IT'S WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR.

THIS MY KIND OF TREAT HERE.

I KIND OF PUT THE SYRUP OVER EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW?

KIND OF GET EVERYTHING MIXED UP IN THERE.

GET THE WAFFLE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

MMM.

JOHN'S CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WAS PHENOMENAL.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, THE CHICKEN IS SO GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

I LIKE THAT BRINE. YOU CAN TASTE IT.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SO, WE USE A SWEET-TEA BRINE.

KIND OF GET THE SUBTLE FLAVORS OF THAT.

AND WE DO A DOUBLE DREDGE WITH THE CHICKEN.

WE DO ALSO DO, LIKE,

ALL TYPES AND VARIETIES OF THE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

WE DO A CHICKEN PARMESAN--

THE WAFFLE HAS BASIL AND CHERRY TOMATOES IN IT.

I'M, LIKE, EATING AND EATING AND EATING,

AND I'M LICKING MY FINGERS, AND I WAS LIKE,

"HOLD ON. WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

THIS CHICKEN...

THIS CHICKEN IS OFF THE HOOK.

THANKS, THANKS.

SO, WHEN DID YOU GET INTO THIS CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLE STUFF?

THE WHOLE CONCEPT WAS REALLY KIND OF BRINGING BACK

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES TO NEW YORK, YOU KNOW?

MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IT ACTUALLY STARTED IN NEW YORK.

DID IT? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

OBVIOUSLY FRIED CHICKEN'S A SOUTHERN THING.

I GOT TO GIVE THEM THE CREDIT FOR THAT.

BUT CHICKEN AND WAFFLES STARTED IN HARLEM.

AT 4:00 A.M., THE JAZZ MUSICIANS USED TO COME IN

AFTER THEY WERE DONE WITH THEIR SETS.

APPARENTLY THE STORY GOES, A GUY WENT INTO THE KITCHEN,

SAID "I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT BREAKFAST, OR I WANT DINNER."

SO CHICKEN AND WAFFLES IS ACTUALLY INVENTED IN MANHATTAN.

THAT'S PRETTY WILD. I NEVER KNEW THAT.

SO MY IDEA FOR THIS CAKE

IS JUST KIND OF DO YOUR SIGNATURE DISH.

I'M THINKING, LIKE, A GIANT WAFFLE

WITH MAYBE, LIKE, A PIECE OF CHICKEN ON TOP.

YEAH. BRING IT IN RIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOWS.

WE GOT THE WINDOWS THAT OPEN UP.

4 FOOT'S GOOD?

YEAH, I THINK SO, MAN. THAT'S HUGE.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MAKE YOU A GREAT CAKE, BROTHER.

ALL RIGHT. COOL, MAN. THANKS A LOT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT, MAN.

SO I JUST GOT AN ORDER FOR A CAKE

THAT'S GOT CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

SO, MY PLAN FOR THIS CAKE IS TO DO A HUGE, OVERSIZED WAFFLE.

THIS HERE, YOU DO A 20x20 SQUARE...

AND THEN A GIANT PIECE OF CHICKEN.

POUR ALL KINDS OF SYRUP ON TOP.

JUST LIKE THE WAY I EAT IT, BABY.

ALL RIGHT, MAURO, YOU GO MAKE THE FILLING.

THEN ME, YOU, AND DANNY WILL FILL THE CAKE.

OKAY.

THIS CAKE IS GONNA BE FILLED WITH MAPLE-SYRUP CRUNCH FILLING.

WE'RE GONNA PUT MAPLE SYRUP AND BROWN SUGAR,

AND IT'S GONNA MAKE, LIKE, THIS DELICIOUS-Y MAPLE BUTTERCREAM.

AND ADD BREAKFAST CEREAL.

IT'S GONNA HAVE THE SWEET AND CRUNCHY TEXTURE,

JUST LIKE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

OH, I LIKE THAT.

THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG, HEAVY CAKE.

I WANT THIS CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLES CAKE TO BE HUGE.

I'M TALKING ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN.

HI. MY NAME IS MAURO.HI. I'M JEN.

HI, PEGGY.MAURO. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.

SO I OWN A STUDIO IN DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY,

AND WE DO ALL SORTS OF GREAT STUFF FOR KIDS.

WE HAVE CLASSES FOR LITTLE KIDS, LIKE ART AND YOGA,

SEWING AND BREAK DANCING, AND--

OOH, BREAK DANCING.

YOU GOT TO COME AND TAKE A BREAK DANCING CLASS, MAURO.

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA BREAK SOMETHING.

HOW OLD ARE THESE KIDS?

THEY'RE 18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS.

18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS? GOD BLESS, MAMA MIA.

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE LEARNING WHEN THEY'RE DOING IT.

YEAH, 'CAUSE THEY JUST DO IT FOR FUN.

TO THEM, IT'S JUST NATURAL TO DO.

AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT THEMES EACH WEEK.

SO FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN STUDYING ART.

SO WE MADE THIS AWESOME MONSTER.

WE TOOK PAINT BALLS, AND DIPPED THEM IN YELLOW PAINT.

AND THEY THREW THE BALLS AT THIS 6-FOOT PIECE OF PAPER.

TOOK A LOT OF PAINT BALLS.

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING.

THE KIDS LOVED IT, SO WE WERE THINKING

IF WE COULD HAVE A YELLOW MONSTER CAKE,

THE KIDS WOULD GO CRAZY

'CAUSE IT'S BRINGING THEIR ARTWORK TO LIFE.

SO, WE COULD PUT OUR OWN LITTLE TWIST IN HERE, TOO.

OF COURSE YOU COULD.

BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMAGINARY MONSTER.

YEAH.OF COURSE YOU COULD.

USE YOUR CREATIVITY LIKE THEY USE THEIR CREATIVITY.

WE GOT A FEW CRAZY PEOPLE IN HERE

THAT WOULD LOVE TO DO A MONSTER.

WE'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING REALLY NICE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING THIS MONSTER CAKE.

I'M GONNA FILL AND STACK THIS CAKE USING CHOCOLATE SPONGE.

SHE'S A BIG...

I'M GONNA MAKE THIS MONSTER BRIGHT YELLOW,

JUST LIKE THE CHILDREN DID IN THEIR PICTURE.

OH, YEAH. NOW SHE'S A YELLOW.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING THIS.

RALPH, YOU ARE STILL WORKING ON THE CHICKEN.

YES, SIR.

FOR THIS CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLES CAKE,

FOR THE CHICKEN, WE'RE GONNA JUST TAKE SOME BREAKFAST CEREAL

AND STICK IT ON WITH THE BUTTERCREAM.

OOH. IT LOOKS LIKE FRIED CHICKEN NOW.

TO MAKE THE WAFFLE, WE'RE GONNA TAKE RICE KRISPIE TREATS,

AND WE'RE GONNA CUT THEM INTO 2-INCH SECTIONS

AND PILE THEM ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA COVER THE WHOLE THING

IN MODELING CHOCOLATE.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT, IS THIS-- DOES THIS WORK?

THESE LOOK MORE BIGGER THAN THOSE.

IT SHOULD BE EVEN.

SO, IN OUR MEASUREMENT OF THE LITTLE SQUARES

THAT ARE ON TOP OF THE WAFFLE, SOMETHING WAS OFF.

WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS?IN THE MIDDLE.

THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE. THEY'RE SPLIT EVEN.

NO, MAURO, NO.

6 1/4", HE SAID.

YEAH, FROM THE INSIDE. FROM THE INSIDE.

YOU-- NO. HERE.

DO THE MIDDLE ONE FIRST, THE MIDDLE FIRST.

BECAUSE THE MIDDLE IS GONNA GIVE YOU A GUIDE.

BUT THEN YOU GONNA HAVE TO MOVE THIS FROM HERE.

RIGHT NOW, THIS IS AT 6 1/4".

I WAS GONNA PUT THIS ONE AT 6 1/4", AND THIS...

YEAH, BUT YOU GOT TO DO IT FROM THE MIDDLE.

AND THEN YOU GOT TO SPLIT THEM EVENLY.

THIS IS WHAT'S THROWING EVERYTHING OFF.

SO THESE BOXES ARE 1 1/2" SMALLER THIS WAY,

WHICH MEANS THAT THESE ARE GONNA BE RECTANGLES,

AND THESE ARE GONNA BE SQUARES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I DON'T KNOW WHO DIDN'T TAKE GEOMETRY CLASS,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS WHOLE THING APART NOW.

THESE LOOK MORE BIGGER THAN THOSE.

THEY SHOULD BE EVEN.

WE'RE DOING A HUGE CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLE CAKE.

SO THESE BOXES ARE 1 1/2" SMALLER THIS WAY,

WHICH MEANS THAT THESE ARE GONNA BE RECTANGLES,

AND THESE ARE GONNA BE SQUARES.

SO, IN OUR MEASUREMENT, SOMETHING WAS OFF.

THEN YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE IT UP.

YOU'RE RIGHT. AND THEN THEY'RE THE RIGHT SIZE.

YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE IT UP.

THE PROBLEM IS WE PUT TWO LAYERS OF KRISPIES

IN SOME OF THE SQUARES, AND NOT ALL OF THEM.

IF WE DOUBLE UP THE KRISPIES EVERYWHERE,

THE MEASUREMENT SHOULD EVEN ITSELF OUT,

AND THE WAFFLE SQUARES WILL LOOK PERFECT.

THAT'S NICE, HUH? YEAH.

DID YOU MAKE THE LEGS FOR THIS?

I DIDN'T MAKE ANYTHING YET. IT'S JUST ROLLED.

OH, IT'S JUST ROLLED, AND JUST PRESSED, RIGHT?

SO TODAY, MAURO TOOK A CONSULTATION WITH JEN,

WHO OWNS THREE LITTLE BIRDS.

AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE KIDS MADE A YELLOW-MONSTER PORTRAIT.

AND THEY WANT TO DO A CAKE

TO KIND OF REPLICATE WHAT THEY MADE.

WHEN I THINK OF A MONSTER,

I THINK OF, LIKE, A FUZZY LITTLE GUY.

AND RATHER THAN PUTTING FONDANT ON HIM,

I FIGURE WHY NOT PIPE IT WITH BUTTERCREAM?

AND I'M USING A GRASS TIP,

AND I'M JUST KIND OF, LIKE, PIPING FUR ALL OVER HIM.

THIS GUY'S GOT BEAUTIFUL HAIR.

LIKE A YOUNGER MAURO.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

HA-HA.

IS THIS THE HOOF?MM-HMM.

AND NOW I GOT RALPH MAKING SOME BIG, GOOGLY, CARTOONY EYES,

WHICH IS GONNA LOOK AWESOME.

OH, MY GOD. IT'S A MONSTER.

AND WE'RE GONNA DO MINI MONSTER CUPCAKES, TOO,

SO EACH KID COULD HAVE THEIR OWN.

I MEAN, WHAT KID DOESN'T LIKE CUPCAKES, RIGHT?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO THEM?

MAKE THEM LITTLE MONSTER FACES.

AND WE'RE GONNA DO THE SAME PIPING TECHNIQUES

ON THE CUPCAKES SO THAT THEY KIND OF LOOK LIKE

THEIR BIG-BROTHER MONSTER.

WE GOT THE HOLE PUNCHES FOR THE EYES?

YEP.

AND EACH LITTLE MONSTER IS DIFFERENT.

BUT THEY'RE ALL MONSTERS.

THEY LOOK CUTE.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB WITH THE CLASSES.

YEAH, I FEEL LIKE I'M REALLY GROWING UP IN THE COMPANY,

AND LEARNING A LOT, AND IT'S CRAZY TO THINK--

HI. LOOK WHO'S HERE.HEY, GUYS.

MARISSA, GOOD TO SEE YOU.HOW ARE YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WE HAVE A MANAGERS MEETING. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHAT.

WHEN GABBY AND MARISSA STARTED HERE A FEW YEARS AGO,

THEY DID FONDANT LAYER AFTER FONDANT LAYER

AFTER FONDANT LAYER.

AND THEY WERE REALLY GOOD AT IT.

BUT THEY'VE COME A LONG WAY.

MARISSA HAS A LOVE OF BAKING,

SO PUTTING HER INTO A STORE JUST ONLY SEEMED NATURAL.

AND GABBY'S SUPER FRIENDLY.

SO, FOR HER TO BE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE

IS DEFINITELY A GOOD FIT.

BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF GROWING PAINS.

YES. PAINS IN THE BEHIND.

PAINS AND PIES AND...

I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE DON'T GET PIED AS MUCH AS WE USED TO.

YEAH, LIKE, EVERY WEEK.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, GUYS? I'M GOING OUT LATER!

WELCOME TO THE BAKERY, GAB!

PIE! IT'S PIE TIME!

OKAY.

THE GROUP OF GUYS THAT WAS ALWAYS INVOLVED WAS MAURIZIO,

ANTHONY, AND I FEEL LIKE FRANKIE WAS THE RINGLEADER.

WHILE THEY'RE CLEANING UP, GET THOSE READY HERE.

OPEN THE DOOR AND JUST UNLEASH IT ON THEM.

HE KIND OF ORCHESTRATED THIS WHOLE DEVILISH SCHEME.

THEY WERE JUST KIND OF HIS MINIONS.

COFFEE AND SUGAR. COME ON.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? ALL RIGHT.

NOW CLEAN IT UP, AND GET BACK TO WORK.

THERE ARE JUST CERTAIN PEOPLE YOU DON'T PIE BACK

'CAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

BUT FRANKIE, NOW THAT'S DOABLE.

YOU THINK?

I THINK HE HAS IT COMING.

THEY WOULD NEVER EXPECT IT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

I'M ALREADY GETTING NERVOUS.

GABBY'S NERVOUS ALREADY!I KNOW!

WE DON'T HAVE THE BEST TRACK RECORD.

WE AREN'T EXACTLY THE BEST PRANKERS.

SO, IF IT DOES WORK OUT,

IT'S GONNA BE REALLY BIG FOR ME AND MARISSA.

WAIT, SO HOW COULD YOU GET THEM BACK?

WELL, GABBY HAS A CLASS COMING UP, SO...

OH, WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN THE DECORATING CLASS?

YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD.

WE SHOULD HAVE THE ENTIRE CLASS

JUST, LIKE, THROW PIES AT HIM.

OH, MY GOD. THAT'S CRAZY.

DON'T TELL ANYONE.

BECAUSE IF YOU TELL ANYONE, AND IT GETS BACK TO HIM--

THEY'RE GONNA GET US BACK.

ALL RIGHT. PINKY SWEAR.

PINKY SWEAR.

PINKY SWEAR. THERE WE GO.

WE'RE GOOD.

THIS IS GONNA BE FUNNY.

EYEBALL TIME?

AYE, AYE, AYE.

WHY'S HE GOT THREE EYES?

HE'S A MONSTER.

IF HE HAD TWO EYES, HE'D JUST LOOK LIKE RALPH.

IT'S TIME TO ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES

TO OUR YELLOW MONSTER CAKE.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO DO, LIKE, A SILLY CAKE.

I MEAN, THE KIDS ARE GONNA GET A REAL KICK OUT OF IT.

THIS IS MONSTER MOUTH.

WHY DOES HE GOT TEETH LIKE DANNY?

THEY GO TO THE SAME DENTIST.

I'M MAKING FUN OF YOU, DANNY. DON'T GET MAD.

ALL RIGHT. ARMS.

ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS

ARE REALLY GONNA MAKE IT GO FROM GOOD TO GREAT.

WE GOT HORNS COMING ON HIS HEAD.

AND WE PUT A LITTLE HAT ON TOP OF THIS GUY.

SO IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A PARTY HAT FOR THE MONSTER.

I LIKE IT. LOOK AT HOW CUTE.

AS LONG AS YOU LIKE IT, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

I LOVE MONSTERS.

BAM.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK? HUH?

I LOVE THIS.I LOVE THIS CAKE.

THE LITTLE FONDANT EYES.

AND THE HORNS, LITTLE HAT.

OH, I LOVE IT.

I LIKE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S SAYING, "DUHH."

HE LOOKS LIKE DANNY.HE'S GOT THREE TEETH.

IT'S ADORABLE.

IT WAS A FUN CAKE.

IT KIND OF BROUGHT OUT THE KID IN ALL OF US.

IT WAS GREAT FOR EVERYONE TO WORK ON.

VERY NICE.OKAY.

DID IT. MONSTERS.

MONSTERS.

GIVE ME A HAND, MAURO.

THESE KIDS, ARE THEY GONNA BE SCARED OF THIS LITTLE CAKE?

THEY MIGHT BE MORE SCARED OF US THAN THE CAKE.

I'M SO GLAD I ACTUALLY TOLD BUDDY

I WANTED TO DELIVER THIS CAKE, AND I TOOK DANNY WITH ME.

AND THE KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE IT.

HERE WE ARE.

YOU GOT IT?YEAH.

OH, BOY. HERE WE GO.

OH, MY GOSH!

IT'S A MONSTER.

COME ON.

LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE.

GO SEE! GO SEE!

DO YOU GUYS LIKE THE CAKE?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE?

A MONSTER.

DOES HE LOOK A LITTLE BIT LIKE OUR MONSTER OVER THERE?

YEAH!

WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT COLOR THE MONSTER IS?

RELLOW.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? "RELLOW."

SOUNDS LIKE YOU, DANNY.

THE KIDS HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON THEIR ARTWORK.

AND THE YELLOW MONSTER CAKE JUST PULLED IT ALL TOGETHER.

IT WAS SO COLORFUL.

HE HAD LOTS OF FURRY HAIR ON HIM AND A BIG PARTY HAT.

THE MONSTER CAKE WAS READY TO PARTY WITH US.

WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?

FIRST PIECE OF OUR MONSTER.

HOW'S THAT?Jen: OH, MY GOSH.

HOW IS IT? GOOD?IT'S AWESOME.

OH, BOY, LOOK AT HIM. MMM. YUMMY, YUMMY.

SOMETIMES, WE'RE SO INVOLVED IN DOING THE CAKE, YOU KNOW,

MAKING IT PERFECT AND ALL THIS, WE FORGET THAT THE CAKE

IS GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE FUN.

ROAR!

ROAR! THERE YOU GO.

I GUESS THAT'S THE BEST RESULT THAT WE CAN GET,

IS SEEING THEIR FACES.

THAT'S WHY WE DO THIS.

WHY IS SHE CRYING?

OH, YOUR HANDS ARE DIRTY?

NO, NO, NO. DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY.

YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CLEAN THEM UP. NO, DON'T CRY.

BUT IT'S PINK. IT MATCHES YOUR SHIRT.

DON'T CRY.

MAKING ART'S MESSY. MAKING CAKE'S MESSY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUN.

ALL RIGHT. BYE-BYE.

GIVE ME FIVE. ALL RIGHT.

OH, MY GOD.

I DON'T WANT NO LAUNDRY BILLS.

TRY TO GO FROM HERE TO HERE.

NO, I'M GONNA TRY TO GO-- YEAH.

TO COVER THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE. TAKE IT.

AS FAR AS WE CAN GO DOWN, AND AS FAR AS WE CAN GO UP.

FOR THIS CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLES CAKE,

I'M USING MODELING CHOCOLATE ON TOP OF THE WAFFLE.

I'M GONNA RUB MODELING CHOCOLATE INTO THE KRISPIES.

I WANT IT TO ALMOST LOOK TEXTURED.

PUSH HARD.

WHILE MAURO AND DANNY FINISHED THE WAFFLE,

ME AND RALPH ARE GONNA GET A GIANT PIECE OF CHICKEN

UP ON THE TURNTABLE SO THAT I COULD AIRBRUSH IT.

IT'S A HEAVY CAKE.IT IS HEAVY.

EASY, EASY, EASY, EASY, EASY.

GET IT, GET IT, GET IT.

WATCH MY CHICKEN.

ONCE WE AIRBRUSH THE BREAKFAST CEREAL,

IT'S GONNA LOOK JUST LIKE FRIED CHICKEN WOULD LOOK.

IT'S GONNA LOOK AWESOME.

READY TO AIRBRUSH THE WAFFLE?

I'M GONNA HIT THE WAFFLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF AIRBRUSH

AND REALLY ADD SOME DEPTH TO IT.

THE TEXTURE'S COMING OUT REAL NICE.

WE'VE DONE A LOT OF FOOD CAKES OVER THE YEARS,

BUT THIS CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLE ONE MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE.

READY?

I'M GOOD.GOOD.

FOR THE SYRUP, WE TAKE SOME PIPING GEL,

AND WE JUST KIND OF, LIKE, OOZE IT DOWN

AND KIND OF SPREAD IT ON.

OH, NOW THAT LOOKS LIKE SYRUP.

SO WE PUT THE LAST OF THE SYRUP ON.

WE STEP BACK, LOOK AT THIS CAKE,

AND I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT IS AWESOME.

I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.

I LIKE IT.

I LIKE THE TEXTURE ON THE CHICKEN.

I MEAN, IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE FRIED CHICKEN.

I ESPECIALLY LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT TEXTURES,

LIKE THE WAFFLE TEXTURE.

GOT THE COLOR PICKED OUT REALLY NICELY.

YOU GOT THE SMOOTH AND SHINY SYRUP

AND THEN THE CRUNCHY, CRUNCHY CHICKEN.

I MEAN, THE WAFFLE LOOKS SPOT-ON.

THE CHICKEN LOOKS NICE AND CRISPY.

I MEAN, I KNOW JOHN IS GONNA LOVE THIS CAKE.

ARE YOU GUYS ALL READY?

I DON'T KNOW.OH, I'M SO NERVOUS.

I WAS READY BEFORE, BUT NOW I'M NOT.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE YOUNG LADIES

POSE AS, LIKE, SUPER-FANS OF FRANKIE.

AND AS HE'S TAKING, LIKE, A PHOTOGRAPH WITH THEM,

EVERYONE HAS A PIE, AND THEY'RE GONNA CHARGE HIM.

I'M AFRAID. I'M AFRAID.

ALL RIGHT. SO, LET'S GET THESE PIES READY.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ENTIRE THING.

FILL IT UP NICE AND HIGH.

I THINK USING THE CAKE DECORATING CLASS

TO PERFORM A PRANK IS GREAT

BECAUSE HE'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING,

AND WE HAVE, LIKE, A WHOLE ARMY BEHIND US.

I HOPE EVERYONE'S READY TO GET A LITTLE MESSY

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK FRANKIE'S GONNA GO DOWN

WITHOUT A FIGHT.

I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.

I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT GONNA WORK OUT.

WE AREN'T EXACTLY THE BEST PRANKERS.

FRANKIE, PLEASE COME TO THE CLASSROOM.

FRANKIE, PLEASE COME TO THE CLASSROOM.

YOU GUYS, PUT YOUR PIES UNDERNEATH

SO THAT HE DOESN'T SEE THEM WHEN HE WALKS IN.

HE CAN'T KNOW ANYTHING.

OH, GOD.

HOPEFULLY IT WORKS.

WE JUST TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO GET THEM BACK,

AND, YOU KNOW, IT NEVER WORKED.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF LIKE OUR LAST HURRAH.

YOU HAVE SOME FANS, FRANKIE.

HI, GUYS, HOW ARE YOU?

CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE?SURE.

WAIT, CAN WE SHOW THE BACKGROUND?

HE'S, LIKE, COMING IN, ALL SMILES AND PROUD.

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HIT HIM.

YOU HAVE SOME FANS, FRANKIE.

HI, GUYS, HOW ARE YOU?

CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE?SURE.

HE'S, LIKE, COMING IN, ALL SMILES AND PROUD.

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HIT HIM.

Go.

OH, MY GOD!

NOT ME! NOT ME, HER!

WHO'S THE GENIUS?

WE JUST NEEDED A LITTLE BIT OF REVENGE.

WE GOT YOU, FRANKIE.

THANKS, GUYS! WE DID IT!

OH, MY GOD. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY DID THIS.

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW,

I ACTUALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE DID IT.

YOU DID KIND OF HAVE IT COMING.

JUST REMEMBER-- ONE EYE OPEN-- ALWAYS.

NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.

I LITERALLY WILL BE LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER

FOR THE NEXT... WELL, THE NEXT 2 1/2 YEARS.

IT'S TIME TO DELIVER THIS GIANT CHICKEN-AND-WAFFLE CAKE

TO THE PARTY AT SWEET CHICK RESTAURANT.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

HOLY...

OKAY, READY? UP.

WE SHOW UP AT SWEET CHICK, AND WE GOT THIS HUGE CAKE.

PUSH.

THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF CHICKEN.

I MEAN, THAT THING'S HEAVY,

AND IT'S GOT TO GO THROUGH THE WINDOW.

I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE READY FOR YOUR WORKOUT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT TO DO ONE FAVOR.

HOLD THIS OVER HERE. WE'RE GONNA-- WE'LL PULL IT.

WE GOT IT, WE GOT IT, WE GOT IT, WE GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK, HUH?

TOTALLY INSANE. IT'S AMAZING.

WHEN HE BROUGHT IT IN, I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED.

THE SHEER SIZE OF IT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW BIG IT WAS.

YOU KNOW, THE CAKE REALLY LOOKED LIKE

A PLATE OF CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

YOU MADE ME SOME GOOD CHICKEN, BRO,

SO I HAD TO MAKE YOU A GREAT CAKE.

ALL RIGHT, SO, WHO WANTS TO EAT SOME CAKE?!

I'M READY. I'M READY.

I THOUGHT THE CAKE WAS AMAZING.

I WAS REALLY SURPRISED AT, LIKE, HOW GOOD IT ACTUALLY TASTED.

AND THE MAPLE SYRUP KIND OF FLAVOR IN THERE,

THE CRUNCHINESS OF THE CHICKEN.

IT REALLY BROUGHT IT ALL TOGETHER.

IT REALLY EMULATED WHAT CHICKEN AND WAFFLES ARE.

YOU KNOW, HE REALLY, YOU KNOW,

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THAT ONE.

THAT WAS GOOD.

JOHN, CONGRATULATIONS ON ONE YEAR.

HERE'S TO MANY MORE YEARS

OF THIS DELICIOUS CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

WE LOVE IT.
