Bake It Like Buddy is an American television show where contestants compete in baking challenges judged by master baker Buddy Valastro. In season 1, episode 20, titled "Sandcastle Cakes," the bakers are tasked with creating a sandcastle cake, inspired by the beaches of New Jersey.
As the episode begins, Buddy greets the contestants and introduces the challenge. He explains that the bakers must create a cake that looks like a sandcastle, complete with towers, turrets, and a moat. They must also incorporate elements of the beach into their design, such as seashells, waves, and sand.
The contestants are given four hours to complete their cakes. They begin by baking several layers of cake and stacking them to create a tall, castle-shaped structure. Some bakers opt to carve their cakes to create more intricate shapes, while others stick to a simpler design.
As they work, Buddy offers advice and critiques their progress. He encourages them to add more detail to their cakes, such as textured walls and realistic-looking sand. He also reminds them to keep their cakes moist and flavorful, despite the many layers of frosting.

The judges are impressed by the creativity and skill on display. They note the varying degrees of success, with some cakes looking more like sandcastles than others. However, they are all impressed by the attention to detail and the flavors of the cakes.
In the end, one baker is named the winner and is awarded a prize. The others leave with valuable lessons and new techniques learned from Buddy and the judges.
Overall, "Sandcastle Cakes" is a fun and challenging episode of Bake It Like Buddy. It showcases the bakers' talent and creativity, while also teaching valuable lessons about baking and decorating cakes. The sandcastle theme is perfect for the summer season and is sure to inspire viewers to try their own beachy creations.
