Carlos Bake Shop is back in season 9 of Cake Boss, and in episode 14, titled "Buttercream Submarine," the crew is tackling yet another sweet challenge. The episode begins with Buddy and the team receiving an order for a custom cake featuring a submarine with a captain and crew.
With the pressure on, Buddy and his team dive right in, first brainstorming ideas and sketching out designs. The centerpiece of the cake will be a giant submarine, complete with intricate piping and detailing. As the team prepares to begin building the structure, Buddy assigns various tasks to his staff, including filling dozens of pastry bags with different colors of buttercream frosting.
Next, it's time to carve the various components that will make up the submarine, including the conning tower, the periscope, and the propellers. The team works with extreme precision to ensure that all the parts fit together seamlessly. They use a variety of tools, including sculpting knives and wire cutters, to shape the various components out of giant blocks of cake.
As the structure begins to take shape, the team starts work on the intricate details, such as the portholes, the torpedo tubes, and the fins. Each of these elements must be hand-crafted and positioned with great care. Buddy himself takes on the task of creating the captain of the submarine, using buttercream and fondant to sculpt a lifelike figure that will stand at the helm of the cake.
As the hours tick by, the stress level in the bake shop begins to mount. Several team members express concern about whether they will be able to complete the cake in time for the deadline. But Buddy remains calm and keeps everyone on track, using his years of experience to guide the team through any obstacles that arise.
Finally, after countless hours of painstaking work, the submarine cake is complete. The final product is truly a work of art, with every detail perfectly executed. The captain and crew stand proudly at attention, while the submarine itself is surrounded by realistic watery waves made from frosted blue buttercream.
The episode ends with the crew loading the finished cake into a van for delivery to the customer. Despite the strenuous process of creating such a complex, multi-component cake, the team is visibly proud of their accomplishment. Fans of Cake Boss will surely be impressed with the incredible skill and talent demonstrated by Buddy and his team in episode 14, "Buttercream Submarine."
