Why is it that when I find myself with nothing on TV to watch (or in my case to listen to in the background with two little ones running around) I always seem to find myself watching Cake Boss on TLC.
I love this show. I don't know why exactly. The show follows Buddy Valastro as "the cake boss" and his family working in their shop "Carlos Bakery" in Hoboken, NJ. This family is loud, wild, and HUGE. He has four sisters!!! But I love Buddy. He's a great father, husband, and obviously baker/decorator.
The first time I remember seeing Buddy Valastro was when he competed on The Food Network's Cake Challenge. I used to think he was so hard headed, and personally thought the reason he never won a challenge - he finally did win one - was because he was so stubborn.
But Cake Boss is such a different show. It shows not only the business side of their family owned bakery, but it also shows the personal side as well.
We have seen on TV pregnancies, birthday parties, weddings, engagements. And we've even read in the news (though no one in the family has spoken publicly about this) the arrest of Buddy's ex brother in law (and who also worked in the bakery) Remy Gonzalez.
All in all, I like this show. Can't wait to see how the bakery expands as they move to their new Lakawana location, and maybe if I don't have to sell a kidney, one day I can go online and get a chocolate mousse and strawberry cake. YUM! :)
