Ep 4. Medieval Times Cake

In Buddy vs. Duff season 2 episode 4, titled "Medieval Times Cake," the bakers face off in a medieval-themed challenge. Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman must create towering cakes fit for a king and queen, complete with intricate details and edible decorations.

On the Buddy Valastro team, lead decorator Maddalena Castano takes charge of the design, creating a cake that resembles a castle with multiple tiers and a drawbridge. She enlists the help of baker Remigio Gonzalez to create the cake itself, while Buddy oversees the progress and gives feedback.

Meanwhile, on team Duff Goldman, lead decorator Geof Manthorne takes a more fantastical approach to the challenge, designing a dragon-themed cake with multiple layers and fiery details. Bakers Elisa Strauss and Charity George work on creating the cake, while Duff consults on the design and taste.

As the teams work on their cakes, they face numerous challenges and setbacks.
