I got a small favor

What do you need?
I have a…
best friend, so to speak.
Okay.
He goes by
the name of Trappy.
Okay.
Weighs about
18, 19 pounds.
He’s a French bulldog,
and he has a birthday coming up.
-Aw.
-All right.
And, uh,
I’m just thinking…
“Trappy Turns Three,”
you know?
French dog — I don’t know,
like, a…
Mwah!
Yeah.
But — But — But —
But on a cake.
I want to do, like — like
we say in my community,
“Doin’ it for the gram,”

Yeah.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
Yeah, but we gotta
get crazy, I mean,
because I don’t know

about the cake, the look.
It’s gotta be
the craziest crap in there.
I mean, I’m talking
the best meats,

I’m a little nuts,

no impossibilities.
And, honestly, in life,

there’s nothing
that’s impossible.
Man, you heard it here
from the most motivational

[ Laughing ]
I’ve never been called

But I like that.
I might use that.
Well, listen, why don’t
I give you a little tour
of my facility here,
show you kind of what we do.
Give you the quick tour,

You know what?
I saw Little Buddy

Buddy: So, this is

2 Chainz: What do you
need wood for?
When we do cakes that have
engineering in them,
whether it’s gonna be
a moving motor
or something
that spins,
we build everything here.
Look at him, look at him,

“Why did I do that?”

I’m gonna sue the hell
out of you, Buddy, man.
Buddy:
Hey, Rose.
Hey, Rose.
[ Laughing ]
All right.
All right, my friend.
What in the world
is this, man?
We had to get some
high-end ingredients.
I mean, what part
of what animal is this?
This is like
a brontosaurus.
That’s what we call a bone-in ribeye.
[ Cow moos ]
Only the best.
You told me
you wanted to be…
I’m just really freaked out
right now.
I’ve never seen this type of
ingredient put into anything,
much less a cake,
much less a doggy cake,
much less a doggy cake
for Trappy.
So, I’m thinking, like,
a vanilla cake, right,
with a peanut-butter
filling,
and then I’m gonna jerky
the bacon and the tomahawk,
infused in there,
and it’s gonna be only
the best, most delicious,
organic ingredients
that a dog would like.
This really sounds like
it’s gonna make my
dog’s stomach upset,
but I’m gonna…
Let the dog
live a little.
How much would —
Cake like this run?
Yeah, how much?
You want some bling on it,
too, right?
I want you to like —
I got bling on.
Trappy got to have
the bling.
You got it.
So, normally,
cake like this,
I would charge somebody
about 15 grand for.
But because you’re my friend,
I’m gonna do it for 12.
[ Laughing ]
That’s —
That’s a discount?
$12,000?
$12,000.
And I gotta
make it myself.
Oh, you gonna
put your hands on it.
Exactly.
The Cake Boss
himself.
That’s right.
That’s it.
I need footage.
And because that
we’re doing this show,
we have a clause
in the contract that says
anything that you do for me

And — And —
most of the time,
it’s on the back

No, this is specifically

Now, Trappy is a French bulldog

I love him!
He’s sired over half a million

What in the hell
is a pet motel?
Is this the lobby?
Is this where you check in?
Is this, like,
where you get your key from?
[ Laughing ]
Like, make me understand,
like, the concept.
So, D Pet Hotels
is actually New York City’s
most luxurious hotel for dogs.
So, we offer everything
from overnight boarding
to daycare
to spa and grooming services.
We have, like,
the coolest suites.
I think Trappy’s
gonna love ’em.
You probably will, too.
You have suites here?
We have suites.
We don’t do cages or kennels.
Every dog who stays here
gets their very own suite
with a bed, flat-screen TV,
all the works.
A TV?
Like, who came up with
this whole pet hotel?
When did this become
a successful business?
Because it seems
like you have 300 dogs
jumping around
in here.

Pretty close.

and we actually brought it
to New York City
about five years ago.
You have a place
where people can drop their
dogs off during the day.
And I see that you
have it set up like
a real daycare.

to have the suite
where he has the view,
the TV,

Our Uber Suites
are 200 bucks a night.
