The Cake Boss and Hoboken NJ
- 1. The Cake Boss and Hoboken, New Jersey Ever since the hit show, The Cake Boss, aired on television there has been a lot of attention directed towards the famous bakery found in Hoboken, New Jersey. Millions of people have tuned into the world within Carlos Bakery for well over 100 episodes that have aired on the TLC television network since the show first premiered in 2009. However, the history of Carlos Bakery goes far beyond what has been shown in the television show as known by many of the citizens of Hoboken, New Jersey. The Staff of Carlos Bakery Buddy Valastro is the Cake Boss and star of the show that runs things currently through Carlos Bakery. He has been working at this particular bakery since he was a teenager and was named by the Hudson Reporter as an honorable mention of the list of the 50 most influential people throughout Hudson County. Mauro Castano is Buddys pastry chef, right-hand man and brother-in- law and Danny Dragone, who is a close friend of the family, has been working in the store longer than Buddy has even been alive. The majority of the rest of the people that work within Carlos Bakery are either family or close friends, which is the way that Carlos Bakery has always been run since it was first opened. The Bakery behind the Show Even though you may have just started to hear about Carlos Bakery several years ago through the press and media attention that it has been gaining, the bakery itself has actually been open for over one hundred years. Buddys father acquired it from the original owner, Carlo Guastaffero, in 1964 and then his own family took over after he passed away 30 years later. The Valastro family knew that their patriarch wanted it to stay in the family and they have all worked extremely hard together for almost 20 years in order to keep it that way.

Since the bakery is located in the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey, it has also become quite a tourist attraction as well because of its massive number of loyal fans that regularly visit their shop for delicious treats and goodies. It was that popularity and overall reputation for quality service that put Carlos Bakery in the spotlight.
