Buddy is a craftsman. He has all the skills accumulated over a life time in a bakery. He brings this to each cake and can tweak a cake with gadgets to make entertaining cakes. He has also spent his life being praised by his family creating a very egotistical character. Duff creates original works of art. Probably not all the time but certainly on demand. Skills are high but more artistic than just craftsman like. Confident but not a fragile ego structure. The show reveals the difference between the 2 products and the personalities of the bakers. Duff has soared in my estimation as he achieves remarkable products and a truly artistic talent. Buddy demonstrates years of honed skills but ultimately a limit on creativity and a serious personality deficit too understandable if you have watched the Cake Boss over the years.

Buddy for a wedding cake that people say is beautiful but forget as they walk out the door. Duff for a cake that people will remember for ever.
