Life's a Zoo
Duff is making a cake for Zoomerang, the annual benefit gala for the Maryland Zoo. This year's theme is Pink Flamingos, so he visits the zoo for inspiration. Duff makes a pair of flamingo cakes, explaining the difficulty of balancing a cake on the long, skinny legs of a flamingo. Geof invents a new dessert - the crisped rice cannoli - to make the flamingos' beaks. The gang blows off steam at the end of a long week by dressing up and going to Zoomerang, where their cakes are a huge hit. Duff gets to collaborate with his old friend Warren Brown of Sugar Rush when a DC couple orders a Capitol-Dome-shaped cake from Charm City that will sit on top of a cupcake tower from Cake Love. A bride orders an unusual groom's cake for her heavy-metal-loving fiance - a flaming Fist of Rock.
Duff Goes Hollywood
Duff has been asked to make a crab-themed 50th birthday cake for Baltimore's most famous seafood restaurant, Phillips Harborplace. The gang decides to make a bushel (wooden barrel) of crabs with ears of corn around the base. Each crab has to be sculpted out of modeling chocolate and the barrel must be painted so it looks like wood. Duff has also been asked to appear on the Tonight Show, to make a birthday cake for Jay Leno. Once they get to LA, Duff and Geof must make the cake in their hotel room, with the help of Food Network Challenge's Mike McCary. Despite some setbacks along the way, the cake (and Duff) are a big success on the show. While Duff is in Los Angeles, he uses his power-tool skills on a Habitat for Humanity build and realizes a childhood dream when he goes to the Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard and gets to play a bass that once belonged to Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Cake Walk
A couple getting married at a local amusement park has ordered a cake for each table in the shape of a bumper car.

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, has a new building, and Duff has been asked to make a cake to kick off its grand opening. Duff decides to make two cakes for the event - a Peach Tree Cake, which combines cake and metal sculpture, and a Mendhi Cake, with intricate piping.
