This Week's Cakes: Rat Cake (Jones Wedding) Pagoda Cake (Feldman Wedding) Brooklyn Bridge Cake (Feldman Wedding) Owl Cakes (Erica's Wedding) Jeep Groom's Cake Tree Cake (Collins Wedding)
Geof: (discussing the artistry of the cakes) People are always poking it anyway, so we really should have security for all of our cakes. I don't think we're quite there yet. But, there will come a day.
Geof: There's a lot of work to be done this week on, you know, on these all these architectural type cakes. And, the week won't be that bad if I kind of pace myself well. I do like to sit down and just kind of think about the day. (Richard laughs) In the sporting world they call it visualizing. It could also be called procrastinating.
Geof: (lost) It's a confusing map; this map is not to scale, and I'm a very "to scale" person.
Geof's flashback of his last Jeep cake was from the series premiere, "Triple Crown Cake."

Jacq: (bride describing her inspiration for the rat cake) I always loved Steel Magnolias and the armadillo cake, one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So, when we were getting married, I said "we gotta have a rat cake" because armadillo's good for Texas, but a rat's Baltimore. Steel Magnolias was a film released in 1989 starring Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Shirley Maclaine and Darryl Hannah.
Duff: And, there's just a little bark right over there. I just love listening to Bob Ross. (Bob Ross' picture flashes on screen) Bob Ross was a painter and teacher who became famous for his PBS show, The Joy of Painting.
Mary Alice: A tree grows in Baltimore, next to a cake. This is probably a take on the title, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a novel by Betty Smith. It was turned into a film by Elia Kazan in 1945, and became a TV Movie in 1974.
Mary: (of the rat cake) He's gonna be like Templeton after the fair… This is a reference to Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, in which Templeton the rat gorges himself at the state fair in a partially altruistic fashion. The book was first turned into an animated, and then a live action feature.
