Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Although 'gateau' is actually cake, a croquembouche is a certain type of cake that looks like the one that they made. []
  • When Lor says, "Carver's decorating me", the close captioning says that Tish said it. []
  • In the french version of this episode there was a line switch. Carver says "but I don't know how to speak french." were clearly translated is "mais je ne sais pas parler le français" and that might of confused some french viewers because there already speaking it. So to make it more proper the line switch was "Mais je ne sais pas quoi dire" means; but I don't know what to say. []
More Trivia
  • Running gag: Carver keeps asking if he can eat the cake and everyone says "No!" []
  • Carver apparently voted for himself to be spokesperson, as Tino's mom found an index card with "TENGAR" written on it, showing that Carver's handwriting is so bad, he can't even write his own name []
  • Pizza Place: Where's the Pizza []
  • (In "Where's The Pizza" the four Weekenders are searching for a pizza.)
    Pizza Guy (as Lor gets closer to the pizza): Hot! Hot!
    Lor (upon touching the pizza): Ow!
    Pizza Guy: I said it was hot! []
