Common's charity is based in Chicago. The event was held in Chicago. Yet, they go to Buddy to do the cake??? How about supporting the area you are in! They could definitely use the help, & there are more than enough cake artists there. I wish this show would go back to the basics. At least they had a relatively small engagement cake they had to do. Although, they of course don't mention the price.
shareTV exposure for the charity. How many people looked up the charity after the show? Yes, I agree there must be many cake bakers in Chicago who could have done the job just as good or better than Buddy and company.
sharenot just closer to home, but maybe use a minority-owned business? I get what the other poster said about tv exposure for the charity, but still....
also, was I the only one a little uncomfortable about the MLK silhouette? I didn't watch the whole ep, fast forwarded through some, so if it was explained why that was okay...?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "uncomfortable" and why it needed to be "explained why that was okay" but I'll answer as best I can.
If you're talking about why Buddy decided to put the silhouette on the cake in the first place, he said that since MLK is the most recognizable name in the civil rights movement and the cake was set on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where MLK marched, he thought it seemed like the right thing to do to have the silhouette of MLK "watching over" the event they were celebrating in Chicago. They showed the picture of MLK that they modeled the silhouette after but I think the face they did looked off.
If, by "why that was okay", you're referring to MLK being done in black, all silhouettes are done in that color.
If I misunderstood your question, I'm sorry if I didn't give you the answer you were looking for.

Like I said though, silhouettes (even those of white people) are always in black. Other than the face not looking quite right, I thought the silhouette was really cool and fit the occasion.
Why? For making a black man black? How on earth is that racist?
shareBuddy is famous. Buddy has a tv show. That's how people roll.
