Cake Boss on TLC — Page 2

Dottie, I wish Garren's bakery was in New York. I would LOVE to order that Sound of Music cake for my sister!

My favorite cake decorating show is Amazing Wedding Cakes. Buddy is very talented, but he's got NOTHING on Christopher Garren!

I LOVE this show but would not order from Merci Beaucoup Cakes. It's very hit or miss. Did you see the oragami crane cake? The simple ribbon around each layer was messy. The crane was messy. They are very very hit or miss. I like the other bakeries where the perfectionists live. :)

Truth and it's not like it costs more than $4 to make a whole batch of crispy treats. I hated the way they just globbed it on there.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I had to enlarge your av to get a better view and then I got this HUUGGE view! Your daughter will love it!

It's yellow cake with chocolate fudge filling. Can't go wrong with that for 14 year-olds. Buddy was very gracious, as was everyone else in the store. His sister Lisa helped us when we placed the order, and she couldn't have been nicer. TLC was filming while I was there today, so I had to wait awhile for Buddy to be available. In addition to posing for the picture, he also signed a t-shirt I had bought for my daughter.

My daughter got home a little while ago, and saw the cake, t-shirt, and photo for the first time (it was all a surprise!). She flipped out, and immediately made the photo her facebook avatar.

yeah- ditto to what blueroses said! How exciting for your daughter. Now- make sure she practices her guitar EVERY day! She may fight you but stick to your guns. Daily practice really made a difference in my son! (even if it's about 15 or 20 minutes- just make sure she practices!)

I go to school with one of Buddy's nephews. Every time I see him I bug him to get me a cake! Anyway, I love the show... anybody remember "Stretch" the delivery boy? What ever happened to him?!

I was flipping around the TV channels late last night and saw an episode of this on TLC. I had never seen it before so I watched it for a little bit. I do know if it because my brother and his girlfriend trekked out to Hoboken to see the bakery and to get some of their cannolis. I had asked him what the difference between this and Ace Of Cakes was. He said that the differences is that while the Cake Boss's cakes look amazing, they also taste amazing as well. Whereas the folks at Charm City Cakes have a tendency of sacrificing flavor for it to look good.

In the bit of the episode that I caught, one of the other bakers either misheard an order or accidently baked the wrong thing or something along those lines. All of a sudden, the cake boss came in and was yelling at them in a very thick Italian accent trying to make heads and tales of the situation. I thought it was like The Sopranos if Tony owned a bakery.

After the delivery guy (not Stretch but the cousin who dropped the cake last season) got in the car accident I was yelling at the tv. I'm pretty sure the guy in the black truck was in the wrong

I saw an episode last night where a bride who was at odds with her mother ordered a cake. The mom wanted traditional. The bride wanted different, but liked calla lilies. They ended up making an off white draped cake with calla lilies. My first thought was that it was lovely, but not at all what the bride wanted. When she saw it, she called it ugly. While he was out of the room, she globbed colored icing all over the cake. This HAD to be staged. They acted mad, but surely no one would ever do that. Why destroy a cake that could be salvaged or used by someone else?

You mean Mary? At that point, the edible flowers hadn't been made yet. That we saw, anyway.

Fake show.
