Cake Boss (2009) s01e09 Episode Script
Soldiers, Sand, and Salads
BUDD Y: On this episode of "Cake Boss" So, we have two boys, they're twins, and they're having their birthday at FAO Schwarz.
[ Laughs .]
First time for Violet and Danny in a toy store.
[ Cheering .]
Life's a beach.
Tone-Tone, you got that tiki bar? Whoever loses more weight wins.
Game on! No more pizza, no more chicken wings! This is Carlo's Bakery.
Sugar Every week, thousands of cakes and pastries go out these doors.
Oh, sugar, sugar This is the crew.
Mia famiglia.
Sugar We're gonna take this bakery to the top.
They call me Buddy.
I'm the boss.
Sugar Oh, sugar, sugar Aah! [ Laughs .]
BUDD Y: So, what are a bunch of New Jersey bakers doing at FAO Schwarz, one of the largest toy stores in the world? See, Danny, this is a toy store.
You never been.
This is what a toy store looks like.
-Now, that's a piano.
-That's a piano.
So, I had this couple come to the bakery and tell me they want this cake for their two twin boys.
We're actually having it at a pretty unique place.
We're having it at FAO Schwarz, the toy store.
When we find out they did birthdays there, we were like, "Oh, what the heck? We got to do it there.
" That's a cool place to have a birthday.
I didn't even know they did.
That's awesome.
Yeah, so, we were thinking of something toy-themed or FAO Schwarz themed, at least.
Maybe a toy-soldier cake.
Of course, there's the big piano.
Yeah, everybody knows the big piano.
We can do a big piano cake and then maybe have, like, two wooden soldiers.
One of the soldiers, maybe we could put one of your son's names.
-That's a great idea.
-I like that.
And then we could add all different things that are FAO Schwarz -- classic toys, you know, blocks, teddy bears, and just kind of make it fun and whimsical with all kinds of toys sticking out.
Good ideas.
I'm glad we came here.
[ Laughs .]
BUDD Y: So, we're here.
We're having fun, and we're getting some ideas on how to build this birthday cake.
Guys, you got enough candy.
That's it.
Stop filling your bags.
Choo-choo! Oh, look at the big toy soldier.
I really love to incorporate the wooden soldier because, number one, they're all over the store.
I think this looks awesome.
You know, and it's pretty square.
He's pretty straight.
It's gonna be not so bad to make him out of cake.
I think this is one of the main focal points of the store.
What kid's not gonna like this? Look at the robots.
MAN: We got to look at a lot of toys.
BUDD Y: This is a pretty simple piano, in a sense, where the cake is just gonna be black, and then we're gonna lay the keys over the top.
I think it should be awesome.
But you know what? Everybody's gonna understand the piano because of the store.
-Brrrrr! -[ Laughs .]
Ding, ding, ding! Danny doesn't want to take his shoes off.
Guys, was this inspiration? Good field trip? Come on, good field trip.
First time for Violet and Danny in a toy store.
[ Cheering .]
All right, team, let's go.
Back to work.
So my idea for this FAO Schwarz cake, the first thing that pops in my head is the big piano that you can go and play on, because that's, like, the funnest thing in the world.
The second thing that comes to mind is the toy soldiers.
Then I'm gonna add different toys which are FAO Schwarz-themed -- old-fashioned toys, cool toys that you can't just get at any toy store.
So the first thing I'm gonna do for this FAO Schwarz cake is start sculpting the soldiers.
Whenever you make a figure standing up, you need a support system.
So Frankie and Mauro constructed two frames, one for each soldier.
And then we started filling them.
Rice Krispies treats here, and we're gonna cut the sponge to fit here.
Yes.
Let's cut this 6 inches.
So, what I do to fill this cake is for his legs, I just wrap cereal treats around his legs and then fill pound cake up his waist.
And then I got to do his head.
When you first see it, you're like, "What the hell is that?" But it's really gonna look like a toy soldier when I'm done.
And the next thing I had to do was carve it, so I had to shape it and get it the shape that I wanted.
All right, I'm gonna dirty-ice him.
Okay, let's see what I can do with this.
So, I dirty-ice this sucker, and I'm like, "Let me put it in a fridge so that it can cool down a little bit.
You make a rocket ship? That's good enough.
Hi, how you doing? -Hi, how are you? -Good.
We're here for a consultation for a cake with Buddy.
Okay, you can have a seat, and I'm gonna go get Buddy.
Okay.
Thank you.
Hi, how you doing? I'm Buddy.
Nice to meet you.
How are you? Pleasure.
How are you doing, guys? How's everything going? We heard about your cakes and we need a cake for a big thing and we figured you're the guy.
We run a beach club on the Jersey shore.
And it's our 10th anniversary.
That's why you guys look nice and tan.
See that? [ Laughs .]
We'd like to have some kind of a beach-scene type thing with bathing suits, surfboards.
J.
T.
: Sand, surf, that kind of thing.
Beach.
I'm thinking maybe, you know, big cake with sand and then, like, water coming up, almost looking like waves coming on the beach.
Maybe like a lifeguard stand, maybe some surfboards.
A couple of umbrellas here and there.
Umbrellas here and there.
Don't worry about it, guys.
I'll make you a beautiful cake.
It was a pleasure meeting with you.
Oh, let's go.
Lunch is here.
-What is it? -I don't know.
It smells like pizza.
Buffalo wings? Nice and greasy.
This is what you're eating for lunch? What are you, the salad god? Listen, you should be eating a little bit healthier.
BUDD Y: If we didn't want to eat it, we could.
We could eat salads every day, us up here.
We got a lot of willpower.
Youse are the ones without willpower, not us.
That's my sister Mary.
Her and my other sisters are always giving us a hard time about what we eat.
Why don't we see who is gonna lose weight -- you and your chubby sisters or us? -We're gonna make a deal -All right, go ahead.
that us four could lose more weight than you and your sisters any day of the week.
Game on! BUDD Y: So I tell Mary, "Go get your sisters, and we're gonna throw down.
We're gonna have a competition.
" One week, whoever loses the most weight wins.
It's me, Mauro, Danny, Frankie versus Lisa, Madeline, Mary, and Grace.
Listen, these are the rules, okay? If youse win, we'll work in the storefront for youse.
And they got to come up here -I would throw up! -Listen! Can you shut up and listen? Okay, if we win, youse wash the sinks, and you're gonna wash the dishes.
I'm like, "Danny, go get a scale.
" Tone-Tone, you're gonna be the official weight keeper.
Percentage of what you lost, right? Like, it's the percentage, not the amount, the number.
Percentage of your body.
Okay, Tone, don't say the weights, just put it on.
Little Cuz, come on, step on there.
WOMAN: You guys are almost a ton! [ Laughs .]
No doubt, we girls are gonna win this thing no matter what it takes.
Does she got any weights on her? What's in her pocket? Yeah, she does! Look! I see it! Automatic disqualification! One weight! BUDD Y: Go ahead, step on the scale.
-I have no extra weight.
-Make sure.
LISA: Oh, Tony, write it down! Let's go! I want to get off! BUDD Y: Okay, get off.
Next week when we weigh in, whoever loses more weight wins.
We better -- You know, we got to step it up, men.
No more pizza, no more chicken wings, all right? Okay, let's get back to work.
We got to get back to making this FAO Schwarz cake for these birthday boys.
The boys wanted vanilla and chocolate cake because one liked vanilla and one wanted chocolate.
So I did vanilla and chocolate, and then I iced it in vanilla buttercream.
Let's go.
Let's ice this.
We got to get going, man.
It's go time.
It's go time! After I iced it, we had to do the piano design.
So, we got 32 keys.
BUDD Y: Let's cut strips.
[ Ragtime piano music plays .]
What do you think? Very nice.
So I cut out all these keys and I line them up and I put them on top and they looked great.
Just lift them up.
I'll put a little buttercream, and then you can jiggle them in place.
Next thing I got to do is screw and glue these toy soldiers to the cake.
She ain't going nowhere now.
Let's put his pants on.
So we did black pants.
We took black fondant and put it around.
You got to go up to here.
Yeah, 91/2, 10.
The next thing we did was put his coat on.
Maybe the modeling chocolate for the flesh tone, just straight.
MAURO: Whatever you want.
BUDD Y: And as I put layer by layer on the toy soldier, it started to look better and better.
Let's do black.
We had to make little feet for him.
We did the hat, and everything was just coming together, and it really was starting to look like a toy soldier.
We had to do the detail work.
We had to cut out eyes, a nose, a mustache.
We really wanted to make it look like the FAO Schwarz toy soldier, and it was starting to look awesome.
It looks good.
This seems like a good time to sneak out and get in a workout.
All right, now, nice and easy.
I don't want anybody to have a heart attack.
What my sisters don't know is that the guys have a secret weapon Easy.
I don't want to go too fast.
BUDD Y: Exercise, baby.
I got the blood flowing.
Let's do some weights.
Out of the four of us, I would say probably I work out the most.
Not bad -- 10.
-All right, who's next? -Not me.
Even though a few of them look like they've never seen the inside of a gym, we want to get those boys into shape.
Look at cugino.
Come on, you wimp.
Two.
Come on, one more! BUDD Y: We'll be ready for swimsuit season in no time.
Which reminds me, we got to get started on this beach-club cake.
This beach-club cake is a great cake for me to get my whole team involved in because there's so many different little elements, and we can all make little pieces and then put them together on one cake.
And it's great when we do that because you got other people's ideas and other people's imaginations, and you can't go wrong.
So, I got Sunshine doing beach balls.
I got Tone-Tone doing the tiki hut.
I got Daniella and Toni and Christine making modeling-chocolate figures.
Me, Mauro, and Remy are filling and icing the cake.
We used a vanilla cake, and we used a chocolate buttercream.
As I filled the cake, I cut some round cakes, thin layers and made, like, little dunes and bumps kind of so it didn't look like a flat beach.
It had a look like a little duney and kind of like the way a beach does.
See, Mauro, it's lumpy now.
MAURO: Ohh.
Now you capiche.
Let's start dirty-icing this thing.
The sand is actually just brown sugar, which is pretty simple.
Brown sugar really looks like sand.
Life's a beach.
The water for the beach-club cake is actually piping gel We'll use the blue and the green.
BUDD Y: which we color, and then we kind of just put it on with a knife on top of buttercream.
Oh, M iss Health herself.
We found out the guys were gonna join this gym to lose weight, so we thought we'd join the gym as well.
We wanted to know if you have any trainers available for us? Yeah.
-Somebody motivating.
-Motivating.
I need someone cute.
Hey, ladies.
How you doing? I'm M ike.
Hi, M ike.
How are you? BUDD Y: How many more you got? All right.
The rocks look good.
What else do we got done? The challenging part of this beach-club cake is just the size of it.
I mean, it's a big, big cake.
It's gonna be tough seeing strategically where you're gonna place all the people.
You don't want to make the beach look, like, so crowded, and you don't want it to look empty.
It's got to look just right.
We had a girl in a bikini who was really cute, but she looked like she had a little bit of work done.
We had some kids that looked adorable.
Chubby guy laying down with a little bit of hair and a sunburn was hilarious.
I think it really made the cake.
MAURO: Tone-Tone, you got that tiki bar? BUDD Y: I think my staff really nailed all the figures and elements for this beach-club cake.
I think that everybody worked hard.
Everybody pushed and we got the job done and I'm happy with the end result.
It looked great.
All right, I think it looks cool.
I think it looks like a beach.
MAURO: You did a good job, chef.
[ Groans .]
Okay.
Watch your back.
So, we drive 30 miles south, we get to the beach club.
The cake is intact.
It's not sweating, and we didn't hit no traffic.
So, so far, so good.
Holy sh [ Laughs .]
[ Cheering .]
Wow! That's the "wow" factor we were looking for.
You got it? Wow! This is incredible! You got the girls in the bathing suits.
Do you like it? J.
T.
: The cake was amazing.
JAM ES: He nailed the bikini models, the shells.
He nailed the lifeguards.
You know, just what we asked for, and he got it perfect.
J.
T.
: It's so realistic.
[ Cheering .]
And it's gonna taste better than it looks, so you got a good part coming.
Getting receptions like that, it's the payoff.
It's the money shot.
It's what we strive for.
Congratulations on your 10 years and hopefully another 100 years.
MAN: Thank you very much.
Enjoy.
Good luck with the season.
-Bye, guys.
-Take care.
I wanted to go hang out there.
I wanted to have a frozen margarita on the beach and chill out, but I was like, "We got to go back to work.
" Being that close to the beach makes me even more determined to get into shape.
We decided to stick to much lighter pastries and cut down on our serving sizes.
Men lose weight faster than women, so we can eat the biscotti.
Spend an extra half-hour on the elliptical tonight and make up for it.
Just one.
Look, what the heck could be inside this? Low-carb.
BUDD Y: Here's to my sisters.
Try to bend your knees first.
Okay, push your hips out.
Slowly bend your knees all the way down.
I mean, my sisters don't know how to exercise.
I mean, it must be a joke to see them at the gym.
Keep your legs straight.
Stand up nice and tall.
I could lift you, M ike, if I had to.
Come on, this is easy.
Oh, my God! This guy is strong! M I KE: Very nice.
Oh, I forgot the hands.
There's that white chocolate.
I got to mold their little hands.
After we had the toy soldiers up and the piano was done, the cake was starting to look spectacular.
We're gonna have to decorate this board up little bit.
Let's put the toys on.
So we got the drum.
Teddy bear maybe on top of the snare drum.
Well, what else do we got? We got the blocks, the train.
-WOMAN: The marbles.
-BUDD Y: The robot.
WOMAN: He's cute.
BUDD Y: I think the train should go on top, too.
M y little army of misfit toys here.
Steam it up, baby.
We made so many different things, it started to look great.
I need something back here.
I'm a little obsessive/compulsive.
All right, I ain't gonna lie.
And Christine put a little bit of poppy seeds on top of the train, 'cause it was like a coal cart.
So a couple of those poppy seeds were on the piano key, and it was, like, driving me crazy.
Tone-Tone, I hate the fact that there's poppy seeds on my piano.
Blow them off.
BUDD Y: Pick off the poppy seeds with a needle.
Seeing these poppy seeds are driving me crazy.
Every one better be off.
I see one over there.
DAN I ELLA: I don't care if it takes you all night! Get those poppy seeds off! All right, this is ridiculous.
It's like I love poppy-seed bagels, but these things are so annoying.
That's why I don't eat them.
All right, I think it's starting to look fun.
Daniella and Tone-Tone got all the poppy seeds off the cake, and it was really starting to come together.
Let's maybe just get a tag.
We're just gonna write "Happy Birthday.
" All right, cool.
All right, guys.
What do we think? How do we like it? WOMAN: I like the robot.
This cake is really cute.
What's your favorite part, Mauro? I got to admit, it's the soldiers.
I think they came out nice.
The piano is nice, too, but the soldiers came out nice.
-BUDD Y: Come on, Fluffy.
-What now? We got to go deliver this.
We're going to New York.
Say goodbye.
Geronimo.
Have fun at the toy store.
All right, everybody got a corner? Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, guys.
Follow the toy soldier.
Okay, Mauro, hold your hands.
Two hands.
Watch out.
Stay out of the way of that dummy.
Oh, we're flat already.
We're good.
All right.
Whew! Oh, here it comes.
-[ Fanfare plays .]
-Whoa! [ Chuckling .]
Oh, my God! Geez! Wow! Look at that! Oh, my God! What a reaction.
Everybody went berserk.
The boys came over, they saw the cake, and they were loving it.
Oh, it was beyond what I ever thought it could be.
So, guys, first off, I want to wish Harrison and Christopher a happy birthday.
And I had so much fun making your birthday cake.
Did you say thank you to Buddy for making you a cake? Thank you.
BUDD Y: Anytime! Thank you very much.
It's absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
See you later, Harrison.
Give me five! All right! And, Christopher.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Enjoy your day, guys.
Have a good day.
Thanks again.
Who wants a G-flat? There you go.
BUDD Y: Come on up for the weigh-in.
Come on, girls! All right, Tone-Tone, let's get ready.
Let's get the scale.
The final weigh-in.
We're gonna see who lost the most weight -- me and my boys or my sisters.
Just to remind everyone, if the girls win, the guys are gonna work downstairs for a day.
If the guys win, the girls are gonna do the dishes for a day.
This week we all tried to exercise, we all tried to eat less.
Tony, you just say how much weight the person lost.
TON Y: Buddy lost 4.
4 pounds.
4.
4-- 41/2 pounds.
Team leader! TON Y: Mauro lost 6.
4 pounds.
Yeah! Mauro! TON Y: Danny lost 6.
4 pounds.
BUDD Y: Yeah! All right.
Frankie lost 15.
8 pounds.
BUDD Y: Yeah! The anchor! That's the anchor! I told you! I think the boys definitely won.
Whoo-hoo! -I lost -4 pounds.
Yeah! 4.
4 pounds for Mary.
That's 8! You lost 7.
2 pounds.
7.
2! 7.
2 pounds! Whoo-hoo! Grace lost 7.
6 pounds.
The girls, at the end of the day, lost a lot of weight, too, but it's done by percentages, so I didn't know how the outcome was gonna come.
I just hope it was in our favor.
The guys' total weight loss was 33.
2 pounds, which was 2.
76%.
The girls lost 24.
5 pounds, which equaled a percentage of 3.
4%, which makes them the winners.
[ Screaming .]
We're going to the spa! BUDD Y: Even though we didn't win, I'm happy that we all lost weight.
Tony, now burn that paper.
[ Laughs .]
So you know, customers come first.
You got to help the customers.
BUDD Y: Yeah, we know.
You guys ready? How can I help you, sir? This week was a crazy fun week.
I mean, there was yelling, screaming, laughter.
A great reaction from everybody.
God bless.
I love it!
[ Laughs .]
First time for Violet and Danny in a toy store.
[ Cheering .]
Life's a beach.
Tone-Tone, you got that tiki bar? Whoever loses more weight wins.
Game on! No more pizza, no more chicken wings! This is Carlo's Bakery.

I'll put a little buttercream, and then you can jiggle them in place.
Next thing I got to do is screw and glue these toy soldiers to the cake.
She ain't going nowhere now.
Let's put his pants on.
So we did black pants.
We took black fondant and put it around.
You got to go up to here.
Yeah, 91/2, 10.
The next thing we did was put his coat on.
Maybe the modeling chocolate for the flesh tone, just straight.
MAURO: Whatever you want.
BUDD Y: And as I put layer by layer on the toy soldier, it started to look better and better.
Let's do black.
We had to make little feet for him.
We did the hat, and everything was just coming together, and it really was starting to look like a toy soldier.
We had to do the detail work.
We had to cut out eyes, a nose, a mustache.
We really wanted to make it look like the FAO Schwarz toy soldier, and it was starting to look awesome.
It looks good.
This seems like a good time to sneak out and get in a workout.
All right, now, nice and easy.
I don't want anybody to have a heart attack.
What my sisters don't know is that the guys have a secret weapon Easy.
I don't want to go too fast.
BUDD Y: Exercise, baby.
I got the blood flowing.
Let's do some weights.
Out of the four of us, I would say probably I work out the most.
Not bad -- 10.
-All right, who's next? -Not me.
Even though a few of them look like they've never seen the inside of a gym, we want to get those boys into shape.
Look at cugino.
Come on, you wimp.
Two.
Come on, one more! BUDD Y: We'll be ready for swimsuit season in no time.
Which reminds me, we got to get started on this beach-club cake.
This beach-club cake is a great cake for me to get my whole team involved in because there's so many different little elements, and we can all make little pieces and then put them together on one cake.
And it's great when we do that because you got other people's ideas and other people's imaginations, and you can't go wrong.
So, I got Sunshine doing beach balls.
I got Tone-Tone doing the tiki hut.
I got Daniella and Toni and Christine making modeling-chocolate figures.
Me, Mauro, and Remy are filling and icing the cake.
We used a vanilla cake, and we used a chocolate buttercream.
As I filled the cake, I cut some round cakes, thin layers and made, like, little dunes and bumps kind of so it didn't look like a flat beach.
It had a look like a little duney and kind of like the way a beach does.
See, Mauro, it's lumpy now.
MAURO: Ohh.
Now you capiche.
Let's start dirty-icing this thing.
The sand is actually just brown sugar, which is pretty simple.
Brown sugar really looks like sand.
Life's a beach.
The water for the beach-club cake is actually piping gel We'll use the blue and the green.
BUDD Y: which we color, and then we kind of just put it on with a knife on top of buttercream.
Oh, M iss Health herself.
We found out the guys were gonna join this gym to lose weight, so we thought we'd join the gym as well.
We wanted to know if you have any trainers available for us? Yeah.
-Somebody motivating.
-Motivating.
I need someone cute.
Hey, ladies.
How you doing? I'm M ike.
Hi, M ike.
How are you? BUDD Y: How many more you got? All right.
The rocks look good.
What else do we got done? The challenging part of this beach-club cake is just the size of it.
I mean, it's a big, big cake.
It's gonna be tough seeing strategically where you're gonna place all the people.
You don't want to make the beach look, like, so crowded, and you don't want it to look empty.
It's got to look just right.
We had a girl in a bikini who was really cute, but she looked like she had a little bit of work done.
We had some kids that looked adorable.
Chubby guy laying down with a little bit of hair and a sunburn was hilarious.
I think it really made the cake.
MAURO: Tone-Tone, you got that tiki bar? BUDD Y: I think my staff really nailed all the figures and elements for this beach-club cake.
I think that everybody worked hard.
Everybody pushed and we got the job done and I'm happy with the end result.
It looked great.
All right, I think it looks cool.
I think it looks like a beach.
MAURO: You did a good job, chef.
[ Groans .]
Okay.
Watch your back.
So, we drive 30 miles south, we get to the beach club.
The cake is intact.
It's not sweating, and we didn't hit no traffic.
So, so far, so good.
Holy sh [ Laughs .]
[ Cheering .]
Wow! That's the "wow" factor we were looking for.
You got it? Wow! This is incredible! You got the girls in the bathing suits.
Do you like it? J.
T.
: The cake was amazing.
JAM ES: He nailed the bikini models, the shells.
He nailed the lifeguards.
You know, just what we asked for, and he got it perfect.
J.
T.
: It's so realistic.
[ Cheering .]
And it's gonna taste better than it looks, so you got a good part coming.
Getting receptions like that, it's the payoff.
It's the money shot.
It's what we strive for.
Congratulations on your 10 years and hopefully another 100 years.
MAN: Thank you very much.
Enjoy.
Good luck with the season.
-Bye, guys.
-Take care.
I wanted to go hang out there.
I wanted to have a frozen margarita on the beach and chill out, but I was like, "We got to go back to work.
" Being that close to the beach makes me even more determined to get into shape.
We decided to stick to much lighter pastries and cut down on our serving sizes.
Men lose weight faster than women, so we can eat the biscotti.
Spend an extra half-hour on the elliptical tonight and make up for it.
Just one.
Look, what the heck could be inside this? Low-carb.
BUDD Y: Here's to my sisters.
Try to bend your knees first.
Okay, push your hips out.
Slowly bend your knees all the way down.
I mean, my sisters don't know how to exercise.
I mean, it must be a joke to see them at the gym.
Keep your legs straight.
Stand up nice and tall.
I could lift you, M ike, if I had to.
Come on, this is easy.
Oh, my God! This guy is strong! M I KE: Very nice.
Oh, I forgot the hands.
There's that white chocolate.
I got to mold their little hands.
After we had the toy soldiers up and the piano was done, the cake was starting to look spectacular.
We're gonna have to decorate this board up little bit.
Let's put the toys on.
So we got the drum.
Teddy bear maybe on top of the snare drum.
Well, what else do we got? We got the blocks, the train.
-WOMAN: The marbles.
-BUDD Y: The robot.
WOMAN: He's cute.
BUDD Y: I think the train should go on top, too.
M y little army of misfit toys here.
Steam it up, baby.
We made so many different things, it started to look great.
I need something back here.
I'm a little obsessive/compulsive.
All right, I ain't gonna lie.
And Christine put a little bit of poppy seeds on top of the train, 'cause it was like a coal cart.
So a couple of those poppy seeds were on the piano key, and it was, like, driving me crazy.
Tone-Tone, I hate the fact that there's poppy seeds on my piano.
Blow them off.
BUDD Y: Pick off the poppy seeds with a needle.
Seeing these poppy seeds are driving me crazy.
Every one better be off.
I see one over there.
DAN I ELLA: I don't care if it takes you all night! Get those poppy seeds off! All right, this is ridiculous.
It's like I love poppy-seed bagels, but these things are so annoying.
That's why I don't eat them.
All right, I think it's starting to look fun.
Daniella and Tone-Tone got all the poppy seeds off the cake, and it was really starting to come together.
Let's maybe just get a tag.
We're just gonna write "Happy Birthday.
" All right, cool.
All right, guys.
What do we think? How do we like it? WOMAN: I like the robot.
This cake is really cute.
What's your favorite part, Mauro? I got to admit, it's the soldiers.
I think they came out nice.
The piano is nice, too, but the soldiers came out nice.
-BUDD Y: Come on, Fluffy.
-What now? We got to go deliver this.
We're going to New York.
Say goodbye.
Geronimo.
Have fun at the toy store.
All right, everybody got a corner? Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, guys.
Follow the toy soldier.
Okay, Mauro, hold your hands.
Two hands.
Watch out.
Stay out of the way of that dummy.
Oh, we're flat already.
We're good.
All right.
Whew! Oh, here it comes.
-[ Fanfare plays .]
-Whoa! [ Chuckling .]
Oh, my God! Geez! Wow! Look at that! Oh, my God! What a reaction.
Everybody went berserk.
The boys came over, they saw the cake, and they were loving it.
Oh, it was beyond what I ever thought it could be.
So, guys, first off, I want to wish Harrison and Christopher a happy birthday.
And I had so much fun making your birthday cake.
Did you say thank you to Buddy for making you a cake? Thank you.
BUDD Y: Anytime! Thank you very much.
It's absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
See you later, Harrison.
Give me five! All right! And, Christopher.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Enjoy your day, guys.
Have a good day.
Thanks again.
Who wants a G-flat? There you go.
BUDD Y: Come on up for the weigh-in.
Come on, girls! All right, Tone-Tone, let's get ready.
Let's get the scale.
The final weigh-in.
We're gonna see who lost the most weight -- me and my boys or my sisters.
Just to remind everyone, if the girls win, the guys are gonna work downstairs for a day.
If the guys win, the girls are gonna do the dishes for a day.
This week we all tried to exercise, we all tried to eat less.
Tony, you just say how much weight the person lost.
TON Y: Buddy lost 4.
4 pounds.
4.
4-- 41/2 pounds.
Team leader! TON Y: Mauro lost 6.
4 pounds.
Yeah! Mauro! TON Y: Danny lost 6.
4 pounds.
BUDD Y: Yeah! All right.
Frankie lost 15.
8 pounds.
BUDD Y: Yeah! The anchor! That's the anchor! I told you! I think the boys definitely won.
Whoo-hoo! -I lost -4 pounds.
Yeah! 4.
4 pounds for Mary.
That's 8! You lost 7.
2 pounds.
7.
2! 7.
2 pounds! Whoo-hoo! Grace lost 7.
6 pounds.
The girls, at the end of the day, lost a lot of weight, too, but it's done by percentages, so I didn't know how the outcome was gonna come.
I just hope it was in our favor.
The guys' total weight loss was 33.
2 pounds, which was 2.
76%.
The girls lost 24.
5 pounds, which equaled a percentage of 3.
4%, which makes them the winners.
[ Screaming .]
We're going to the spa! BUDD Y: Even though we didn't win, I'm happy that we all lost weight.
Tony, now burn that paper.
[ Laughs .]
So you know, customers come first.
You got to help the customers.
BUDD Y: Yeah, we know.
You guys ready? How can I help you, sir? This week was a crazy fun week.
I mean, there was yelling, screaming, laughter.
A great reaction from everybody.
God bless.
I love it!
