Oh how cool! I would want a pumpkin shaped pumpkin cake (I'm a bit pumpkin obsessed), maybe with it still on the vine, because he does such beautiful flower/vine work. Great giveaway!!

Obviously I'd have to have chocolate but hey, he's an artist so I have to make it difficult.

Use white, milk and a darker chocolate. Then make the cake look like a huge cacao pod in such a way that it can be opened to look like the real deal inside.

I think he could manage it.

I would ask Buddy and his crew to make a tiramisu flavored cake in the shape of my husband's motorcycle - Gracie. She's the only thing he loves (almost) as much as me! Haha!

Here is my idea: a log cabin with lights on inside! :) Chocolate cake, fudge filling and covered with fondant. What a cake that would be! Love "Cake Boss" and winning the book would be so cool!!! Thanks!

I would have Buddy do my son's high school graduation cake - in the shape of the school with the palm trees and bay-front location all included. Chocolate cake, coconut and vanilla flavored filling...yum. My son loves Cake Boss - that would be an awesome graduation gift to give him!(the cook book AND the cake :-)

I would have him do a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The design would be palm trees on a beach with me laying in the sun holding a tropical beverage. My idea of eutopia.

i am a sucker for vintage fisher price toys. i've been collecting them every time i see them, so i'd have Buddy make me a cake featuring the old school telephone pull toy with googly eyes, the little people barn yard set, and the milk man truck with the little plastic milk, chocolate milk, and orange juice jugs. the cake would have to be my favorite combo- white vanilla cake with lemon curd and lemon mousse!

Bonnie said...

I would love a giant dia de Los Mortes(sp?)sugar skull cake for my birthday. yellow cake, with a lemon filling. Lots of red sugar flowers, or white chocolate flowers. It would be epic.

I would like an old fashioned checkerboard cake made for my favorite romantic holiday, President's Day. I want to look like Mt. Rushmore but be the GOP candidates for President and Obama.

If Buddy was to make me a cake it would be for my college graduation! The cake would be vanilla cake with vanilla pudding filling and chocolate cake with chocolate ganach! It would be decorated with things that describe me. Something to do with rehab because that's what I study and kids because that's who I'm passionate about helping. And a chocolate sculpture of me in my grad gown n cap! :)

I'd like a 3-layer carrot cake with walnuts and cream cheese frosting, and orange curd filling.

Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. said...

I think I would want either something really chocolately or maybe just classic red velvet. And for the shape, how about an awesome owl?

Kristin said...

I'd love a red velvet cake in the shape of a ferrari to surprise my husband with!

Teslaca said...

I'd love a chocolate cake with with ganache filling and decorated with chocolate ribbons. Not the fanciest maybe, but I know it would be great!

Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family said...

Oh what a fantastic giveaway. If Buddy was to make me a cake I think I would want a vegan layered cake. Buttercream frosting and then fruit preserves for between the different layers (apricot, raspberry, orange, and blueberry).

Dean said...

My girlfriend loves the show. Really thought the hearse cake was awesome for the woman who owned the funeral home. She would love to have a big pink Disney Castle cake made with white cake, not the yellow stuff.
