- July 8, 2014
Buddy's Bakery Rescue season 2 episode 2 titled "Grandma Millie's Bakery & Cafe" features Buddy Valastro, aka the Cake Boss, as he visits a struggling bakery in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Grandma Millie's Bakery & Cafe has been serving the community for over 35 years, but due to a lack of customers and outdated methods, the bakery is barely staying afloat.
Buddy walks into the bakery greeted warmly by the owner, Trish, and her staff. Buddy quickly assesses the situation and realizes that the bakery's menu is limited, the decorations are outdated, and the display cases are sparse. The bakery is too dark, unwelcoming, and it has no customers. The Bakery's business and revenue are in need of an overhaul.
Buddy enlists the help of his team of designers, decorators, and bakers to help revamp and update the bakery. As the workers get to work, they discover that the bakery has a lot of potential. The bakery is in a prime location, but it's not advertised effectively. Buddy comes up with a marketing strategy that the bakery can use to draw attention to itself.
Buddy and his team work tirelessly, deep cleaning, repainting, and extensively redecorating the interior of the bakery. They expand the menu to feature seasonal items and boldly colored sweets. Buddy comes up with some new recipes for baked goods, which include bacon and maple flavored donuts, and he shows the bakers how to make them.
When it comes to the bakery's front entrance, Buddy decides to change the name, bring in bright lights, and change the look entirely to look new and fresh. To create more space for customers, the Cake Boss team creates an outdoor seating area. These changes create a more vibrant and inviting atmosphere.
As the grand re-opening day draws near, Buddy arranges for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, inviting all the people who live in the area to be there for the opening. Buddy believes that this could be the start of a new beginning for the bakery.
The grand reopening day is a success! People flock to the bakery, eager to sample the baked goods, and the seating area is full of happy customers. The sales of the bakery skyrocks, making it one of the busiest shops in the area.
In the end, Trish thanks Buddy and his team for the incredible renovation of the bakery. She is beyond grateful, and it's clear that the bakery has a bright future ahead. Buddy leaves with a heart full of joy, knowing that he was able to give a struggling bakery a new lease on life.
