Family's fancy cakes rise to the occasion

Master baker and cake decorator Buddy Valastro is the star of Discovery Channel's Cake Boss.

Buddy heads a family team who run Carlo's Bakery.

With his mother, four older sisters and three brothers-in-law, he specialises in making custom cakes.

Tonight Buddy takes the baking gang for a fishing adventure and gets the inspiration to make a lean, mean, shark cake for the 35th anniversary of a family friend's charter boat company.

Future episodes include Buddy receiving a cake request to make a replica of a toilet that actually flushes.

• 'Cake Boss' airs at 5.45pm on weekdays on DStv's Discovery Channel 121
