A local Italian deli is celebrating its grand opening and the owners come to Carlo's Bakery, looking for a cake that's in the form of a custom deli meat case. It is Communion season the family looks to Buddy to create several cakes for his nieces and nephews. As Mary continues her job as consultant, her confidence in creating designs and working with clients grows.

Buddy's Mama, diagnosed with a serious illness, returns to Hoboken for an Easter visit, and Buddy makes her a special one-of-a-kind cake.
