In season 6 episode 14 of Cake Boss, titled "Bling, Barbecue and Blueprints," viewers are taken behind-the-scenes of Carlo's Bakery as Buddy Valastro and his talented team prepare for a special wedding. The theme of the wedding is barbecue, so Buddy decides to incorporate a pig roast into the festivities. But before the meat is cooked, the bakery team gets to work creating the perfect cake for the occasion.
The bride and groom have requested a cake that incorporates both their modern style and their love for rustic elements. Buddy and his team begin constructing a two-tiered cake with a metallic finish and clean lines. To add the rustic element, they begin carving wooden designs into the cake. They also decide to incorporate a unique "bling" element into the cake by adding crystals to the design. Buddy wants to make sure that the cake perfectly reflects the couple's style, so there are several revisions along the way until they reach the final product.
As the cake is being worked on, Buddy also meets with a special customer, who has come to the bakery with a unique request. The customer, who is an architect, wants Buddy to create a cake replica of his latest project, a massive airport terminal. This request is no small feat, and Buddy and his team are up for the challenge. They begin constructing a massive cake that is impressively detailed and accurate. The finished product is unbelievably awe-inspiring.
As the bakery team works on these two special cakes, they are also preparing for a bake sale to benefit their local fire department. The bake sale is a big deal in their community, and the bakery team wants to give back to those who serve and protect in their town. They put together an impressive spread of treats, including cupcakes and cookies that are decorated with firefighting motifs.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see each step of the process as the cakes come to life. They also get a glimpse into the camaraderie and dedication of the bakery team as they work together to create these amazing works of art. As always, Buddy's infectious personality and passion for baking are on full display, making "Bling, Barbecue and Blueprints" a standout episode in season 6 of Cake Boss.
