Ace of Cakes is a television show on the Food Network that follows the work of Duff Goldman and his team at Charm City Cakes. In season 4, episode 12 - Wedding Week, the team prepares for a number of upcoming weddings with unique and challenging requests from their clients.
The episode starts off with Duff and his team discussing the week's workload, which includes five wedding cakes and a groom's cake. One of the first cakes they work on is a bright pink and orange flamingo cake. The client specifically requested that the flamingos be standing on one leg, which presents a challenge for the team as they try to make the structure stable enough to hold the weight of the cake.
Next, the team takes on a wedding cake that is a replica of the couple's dog. The cake is incredibly detailed, with fur made out of rice crispy treats and fondant. The team is able to capture the essence of the dog and the couple is thrilled with the final product.
Another unique request from a client is a cake shaped like a cheeseburger. The team uses different types of frosting to create the look of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a sesame seed bun. This cake presents a challenge for the team because it needs to be transported to the wedding venue and assembled on-site.
The team also works on a large, multi-tiered cake that is supposed to look like a traditional Chinese wedding dress. The cake is covered in gold and red fondant and has intricate detailing that takes a lot of time to create. The team is able to create a stunning cake that impresses the clients and their guests.
One of the most challenging cakes of the week is a champagne bottle cake that has a working fountain. The team has to create a structure that will support the weight of the cake and the fountain, and they also have to make sure that the fountain will actually work. This cake takes a lot of time and effort, but the team is able to create a cake that exceeds the client's expectations.
The final cake of the week is a groom's cake that is a replica of an airplane. The team has to create the shape of the airplane with cake and then cover it in fondant. They also add details like windows and wheels to make the cake look as realistic as possible.
Throughout the episode, the team faces various challenges and setbacks but they are able to overcome these and create beautiful and unique cakes for their clients. The episode also showcases the teamwork and camaraderie of the Charm City Cakes team, as they work together to make sure that each cake is perfect.
