Fashion Week Fare

Ashley and her motley crew of assistants prepare for designer Rebecca Minkoff's fashion week party at the Griffin in NYC.

Behind the Lens

It's a big job for Ashley, and also for the camera crew.

Last-Minute Adjustments

Things are looking a little dicey on set when Ashley's gorgeous cake purses — inspired by Rebecca's designs — won't stay put on the spinning wheel as she had envisioned.

Crunch Time

Ashley's assistants, Derek and Erin, are genuinely stressed.

Staying Focused

The cake team isn't distracted at all by the cameras — they're focused on the cake, determined to make it work.

Plan B

Ultimately, Ashley decides to display some of the cakes in front of the wheel and decorate it with lighter edible accessories, like shoes and belts.

Adding Glam

Ashley adds finishing touches to her showpiece.
