My Favorite Cake Boss

            Over the years, since I started watching Cake Boss, I have watched so many different episodes.  They are all very different but extremely entertaining.  After watching so many episodes it is very difficult to pick which one is my favorite.  I took some time to go back and watch a few Cake Boss episodes.  After thinking it over I finally picked one that is one of my favorites.  When it comes to Cake Boss you cannot have just one favorite episode.  It is impossible.  They are all so good!

            My favorite Cake Boss episode that I chose is Aquarium Adventures and An Announcement.  In this episode Buddy and his cousin Frankie go to the Adventure Aquarium to meet with the people in charge.  The aquarium was turning five years old and the people in charge wanted Buddy to make them a cake for the upcoming event. 

                They told Buddy they wanted a vanilla cake with vanilla cream.  As for the outside of the cake they told Buddy that they trust him and think he is super creative.  Buddy was really excited about making this cake. 

                Buddy and Frankie got to walk around the aquarium and see all the different exhibits and fish.  Melissa and Mark were the people in charge and they arranged for Buddy and Frankie to actually get into the shark tank.  Buddy said after seeing the sharks in the aquarium tank that he was pumped to make the aquarium cake and that it was going to be awesome!

            Buddy’s ideas for the cake sounded really neat. I was very anxious to see how the finished product was going to turn out.

            This aquarium cake was 110 inches long by 40 inches.  That’s a pretty big cake!  Buddy wanted this cake to look like an actual exhibit.  He wanted to incorporate all the details that make up an aquarium exhibit. 

            Buddy’s main goal for this cake was to have fish tanks with live fish lined up behind the cake.  He wanted people to feel like there were in a real aquarium when they looked at this cake.

            The details on this cake were awesome.  Buddy and his crew used tons of bright colors just like it would look down under the ocean.  They made bright colored coral, fondant fish, shells, turtle, hammerhead shark, a leopard shark, and a stingray.  Everything on the cake looked phenomenal!      

            Buddy said that he thought that the cake weighed about 600 pounds.  I think it’s crazy that Buddy and his family are capable of delivering 600 pound cakes.  That’s a big responsibility.

            When Buddy and his family got to the aquarium with the cake they filled the fish tank up with water, coral, and then added the live fish.  I, as well as everyone at the event was very impressed with this cake.

            Also on this episode Buddy’s sister Lisa and her husband Remy tell Buddy that she is pregnant.  She wanted it to be a surprise for everyone else in the family.  She and Remy planned to tell everyone when they were all together for a party.  They asked Buddy if he could make a baby cake for the party.  Of course Buddy said yes.  He was so happy for his sister. 

            Remy works at Carlos Bakery too so he helped Buddy make the cake.  They made a baby carriage out of cereal treats and covered it with fondant.  Then they placed it on top of the cake and decorated the rest with polka dots and fondant flowers.  This cake turned out really cute.

            I really enjoyed this episode of Cake Boss, just like I enjoy every episode I watch.  Cake Boss has yet to disappoint me.  If you haven’t watched an episode of Cake Boss yet you’re really missing out.  Watch one and I bet you will be pulled in just like me and my family!
