Cakes with Special Effects


            Almost everyone loves special effects because of the action, motion, and excitement.  But did you ever think a cake could have all three?  Well Buddy’s cakes on Cake Boss do!

            I can remember the first time I ever watched Cake Boss.  I was amazed by the different things Buddy and his family could make a cake do.

            When I watched Cake Boss the first time and heard what the clients wanted their cake to be able to do, I thought there is no way that Buddy or anyone could make a cake with elaborate effects.  Buddy proved me wrong.  He makes cakes with all of the requested special effects and he adds so much more.

            Two of my favorite special effect cakes that Buddy made on Cake Boss are a circus and cruise ship cake.  The Ringling Brothers. & Barnum and Bailey Circus asked Buddy if he could make them a cake.  The head clown told Buddy that he wanted the cake to be very realistic including a ring of fire.  Of course Buddy and his family included all of that and much more.  The cake he made included all of the acts, clowns, and animals that you would see at the circus.  The special effects Buddy put on the cake were a ring of fire and cannons that shot out circus people made out of fondant.  The Ringling Brothers. & Barnum and Bailey Circus were so pleased with Buddy’s outstanding work.


            My next favorite special effect cake is a cruise ship.  Buddy and his whole family went on a Disney Cruise.  Buddy was asked to make a cake for the ship.  The cake he made was huge!  He made a cake replica of the cruise ship.  The Disney ship has an awesome water tube slide called AquaDuck.  The AquaDuck goes out over the ocean and wraps onto the ship.  Buddy used special tubing to make the AquaDuck and put it on the cake.  He added water with blue food coloring that moved throughout the slide.  It was amazing to see it all put together.  It looked so real!




If you don’t believe me you will just have to watch the show and see for yourself how extreme some of the special effects can be!
