Napoleon’s friend Pedro wants to ask the most popular girl in class to the school dance which leads to the following exchange:
Napoleon: [referring to the dance] Who are you gonna ask?
Pedro: That girl over there.
Napoleon: Summer Wheatly? How the heck are you gonna do that?
Pedro: Build her a cake or something
This scene takes place in chapter 9 of the film – the title of this chapter? Date cake. Yes, the cake is the star! Here are our three heroes - Napoleon (left), Pedro (right), and Cake (held by Pedro):
In homage to this scene I now refer to ‘building a cake’. Pedro must be quite a skilled baker as it’s a tall and impressively decorated cake – from the height I’m guessing it has layers.
This shot shows the message iced onto the frosting - Pedro hearts Summer:
Unsurprisingly, from Summer’s nonplussed reaction, Pedro doesn’t get his date. Am I the only one thinking she must be hard to please? If this cake didn't sway it, what would?
Frosted layer cake, built by Pedro to win the girl of his dreams, CAFTA salutes you!

If you know of a cake in film or TV that deserves a CAFTA nod then please email me (email me option is on the right hand side of my site) with a photo proving the cake's achievement.

VOTE FOR PEDRO!
(great movie, and great post CC!)
Pedro.. we are there with you!!!
will I do the same that is the question? lol!
i love that movie!
A cake like that SO would have won me over, but maybe I am easy?
Great post!
BTW, have you ever heard of the video game "Half Life?" Robots are obsessed with cake in it, according to my husband. Thought you might be interested in cake-obsessed robots.....
I need to be on the look out for cakes in film. I'll be looking at film in whole new way.
Caked Crusader, I have something for you dear..Check out my blog!!
Actually, I was wrong...The game was "Portal", not half-life. The Despotic Computer keeps you jumping through hoops, with the promising of a delicious Cake at the end, but you never actually get it. Cruel and unusual!
