A man wants Buddy to make a special snow globe cake for when he proposes to his girlfriend in Central Park. Buddy's daughter Sophia's class is having a special reading is fun party and he makes a cake for it, based on a story she wrote based on the school's mascot. Meanwhile Buddy's wife Lisa has a scare when she is rushed to the hospital with contractions.

With Buddy's fourth child Carlo born, Buddy decides to leave simple baked goods such as cookies to the staff while he concentrates on the complex cakes, so he can spend more time with his kids; however, Grace oversteps her boundaries, as she attempts to make herself the "Cake Boss" in Buddy's absence. Also, Buddy makes a table hockey game cake for a B'nai Mitzvah.

Buddy and his crew make a massive cake in celebration of Groundhog Day for Staten Island Chuck. They also make an upside-down cake -- which was a multi-tiered cake literally assembled upside down -- for a little girl's Ripley's Believe It or Not! birthday party. Also, the family pay their respects for Sal, who died on January 30th, 2011.
