I have yet to try a cupcake place that lived up to the hype. I hope these are better than most.

Buddy is a screaming nut most of the time. When the purse/shoe cake lost one wall during delivery he went balistic on the driver. Yelled at the driver that he must have put on the brakes. (yeah one does have to do that when driving.) Since it was the wall closest to the back of the vehicle I don’t buy it. Seems if the fallen wall was due to braking, the cake would have fallen forward toward the front of the car, not the reverse. Then Buddy throws flour and water on the driver. Very mature. Buddy needs to grow up.

I live in Baltimore and think that Duff and his team are exceptional. But I do know that their cakes start at 500.00 and it costs more for Duff to deliver the cake himself. I like the idea that I can afford to try something at Carlo’s Bakery. It is a Bakery like I grew up with! Pastries and all.

Cake Boss is very unique and diffrent from Ace of Cakes. I enjoy Buddy and his entire staff including mama. I thinl this show is fresh and exciting and give you a real view of how a bakery is operorated. ….

I’m a big fan of bistro diners. That pizza seems like an oddity on the menu but I bet it’s grilled and quiet tasty nonetheless.

Thank you for posting this. I have been wanting to try out this restaurant for a while. Have you been to Comme Ca in Los Angeles? The same chef owns at Pizzeria Ortica owns Comme Ca. You should try it. It’s delicious.

Buddy made our wedding cake 2 years ago and met with us personally. His mother also served us cookies and coffee. The cake tasted great and looked good too, something I’m not sure Duff can achieve. Now for the negatives, the show is completely fake. Every conflict is planned. Come on, everyone in Hoboken knows that the delivery Stretch was right around the corner when the fondant peeled off. Ooh, what drama! And now the last episode when the bride put colored icing on the cake while Buddy left her alone. What acting when he came back! I’m not sure the bride was even a bride at all. It just didn’t seem real at all.

I have just seen an episode of Cake Boss (bridezila episode)and like it. I haven’t seen Ace of Cakes or anyother Cake Boss episodes; therefore, cant argue against the other comments. The cakes are beautiful, well constructed and highly presentable. Also the show does display alot of yelling and emotional conversation but this is classic Italian style (somewhat), individuals who haven’t grown up or associated in this envrionment will not understand it. Take it with a grain of salt. The show also reflects high achievement in the owner and his staff to perform even under pressure in a small business envrionment. Take Orange County Choppers episodes as another example. You can see the chemistry and close association in the staff and their output. I know this from experience as i also have my own small business and can relate. Everyone has their opinions and expectations and puts it forth, sometimes not appreciated or warranted; however, it is their opinions and it is valid. If the show was too professional and all about cake decorating it would be dry, boring and too technical. I would watch the show again definately.

I went to junior high school with Tad. He is one sweet guy and a very talented artist. He draws amazingly as well. Just my little input. I too had a crush on him in Junior High School. Did not know he was gay then though. :-)

Comment on Cuisinart Elite Food Processor by Timmo

Just got one. It rocks!

Other FPs have interlocking bowls, but these don’t leak, and it’s a breeze to do a bunch of tasks in a row. The feature that sold me was the adjustable slicing blade…no more drawerful of blades to cut different thicknesses.

Powerful, quiet, easy cleanup, the disc storage box is incredible. Just can’t say enough good about this machine.

This show is horrible. It seems like he could care less about his cliants and anyone who works for him. It is not fun to watch because there is to much screaming.

Our most recent dinner party was for my oldest daughter’s birthday. I made our family’s favorite Italian meal of salad, homemade tomato sauce with meatballs, bracciole, and popat (a bread-crumb and egg fried dumpling that seems to be unique to our family). What made it memorable was that both of my daughters’ boyfriends were there, and we played a game called Apples to Apples which was a lot of fun. And the food was amazing (if I do say so myself.)

I recently had a dinner party as a thank you for the Sunday School teachers at our church. It was memorable because it was the first time we were all together without any kids! We had a wonderful time chatting and eating.
