Ep 12. Key to the City and a Key-tar Cake

In Cake Boss season 3 episode 12, titled "Key to the City and a Key-tar Cake", the crew at Carlo's Bakery is tasked with making a special cake for the city of Hoboken, New Jersey. The mayor has requested a cake in the shape of a key, which will be presented to a deserving resident as a symbol of the city's appreciation.

Buddy and his team get to work on the key cake right away, experimenting with different flavors and designs to make sure it's perfect. They also decide to incorporate a musical theme into the cake, since Hoboken is known for its rich music history. They create a key-tar cake, which is a combination of a key and a guitar, to represent this theme.

As the team works on the cake, they face a number of challenges. The size and shape of the cake make it difficult to transport and assemble, and some of the decorations don't turn out exactly as planned. However, Buddy and his crew are determined to make the cake a success, so they work through these issues and come up with creative solutions.

Meanwhile, Buddy's sister, Mary, is busy planning her wedding. She and her fiancé have chosen a vintage Hollywood theme, so Mary is looking for a unique cake design to match. She wants something that's elegant and glamorous, but also playful and fun. The Carlo's Bakery team puts their heads together and comes up with a design that's perfect for Mary's big day.

Throughout the episode, viewers get an inside look at the inner workings of Carlo's Bakery, and see how Buddy and his team tackle the challenges that come their way. As always, there are plenty of laughs, jokes, and friendly competition between the crew members. And of course, there are plenty of mouth-watering cakes and desserts on display.

By the end of the episode, the key cake and the key-tar cake are both finished and ready to be delivered. The team is proud of what they've accomplished, and can't wait to see the reaction of the mayor and the lucky resident who will receive the key to the city. Mary's wedding cake is also a success, and she's thrilled with how it turned out. It's a happy ending all around, as the Carlo's Bakery crew once again proves their creativity, skill, and dedication to making delicious and beautiful cakes.
