Ace of Cakes Season 5 Episode 12 The Big Cakeowski

Ace of Cakes is an American reality television series featuring the work of a team of professional cake decorators at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, Maryland. In season 5 episode 12, titled "The Big Cakeowski," viewers are invited to watch as the crew faces a challenge that's truly larger than life.

The episode begins with bakery owner Chef Duff Goldman receiving a request for a cake that's unlike anything they've ever made before. The client is a construction company that's celebrating the completion of a major project, and they want a cake that's over six feet tall and weighs more than 1,000 pounds.

As the team begins planning for the massive creation, they quickly realize that they'll need to build a special support system to keep the cake from toppling over. They also have to figure out how to transport such a large cake to the client's location without damaging it or compromising its integrity.

To ensure that the cake is structurally sound, Chef Duff turns to his father, who's a structural engineer. Together, they build a custom frame that can support the enormous weight of the cake and prevent it from collapsing.

Once the frame is complete, the team begins to work on the cake itself. They start by baking hundreds of pounds of cake batter, which they then stack and layer to create the structure of the cake.

As they continue working on the cake, they encounter a number of obstacles and setbacks. The sheer size and weight of the cake make it difficult to maneuver, and they run into issues with the icing and fondant not adhering properly to the massive surface area.

Despite these challenges, the team continues to push forward, determined to create a cake that will exceed the client's expectations. They work late into the night, putting the finishing touches on the cake as the deadline for delivery looms closer.

Finally, the day of the delivery arrives, and the team carefully loads the cake onto a flatbed truck for transportation. They make the journey to the construction site, where they're met by a crowd of curious onlookers and the client's excited employees.

As they carefully offload the cake and set it up, tensions mount as everyone watches to see if the cake will hold up under its own weight. But finally, the moment arrives, and the client cuts into the cake to reveal its colorful rainbow interior.

In the end, the team is thrilled with the outcome of the project, and the client couldn't be happier with the impressive cake. Through hard work, determination, and a little bit of engineering know-how, the team has once again proven their abilities and solidified their reputation as some of the best cake decorators in the industry.
