    Duff builds a Flamingo cake for a zoo benefit. Most of the cake is fondant over wire and styrofoam. This really didn't qualify as a cake in my opinion. The zoo is going to use the cake year after year as part of it's annual fundraiser. Duff gets the cake together and sets out to deliver it and he suddenly realizes it is too tall for his vehicle! So he sits in the back holding the cake while being driven to the zoo. The poor Flamingo is pretty much sideways for the ride. It is well recieved at the zoo.moreless

    • Geof: I think people don't realize, like, how much time go into their cakes. It's not easy.

    • Duff: If somebody's going to call us up and get a cake that has sock monkeys dancing around a lake of fire, and the lake of fire has the fist of rock shooting out of it; I think they're gonna be personal friends of the bakery.
