Carlo’s Bakery Cont.
Our Cake & TLC Website

Steven and I are still in awe of the cake (and cupcake favors) that Buddy and family made for our wedding this past Sunday!!  I’ll post more photos from the wedding when I have teasers from our photographers.  Otherwise there are a bunch of friend images floating all over Facebook - the photos of the cake below are thanks to our friend Jenn!

The cake was a 5-tier, strawberry & creme cake in fuchsia and orange with 2 cameras perched on top.  Everything on the cake from the cameras to all the delicate flowers were edible!  Everything about this cake was delicious!  Guests remarked at how stunning it was and trust us, it tasted just as good (if not better) than it looked.

Steven and I leave for our Honeymoon on Monday, so I also wanted to remind everybody to cue up Cake Boss on your Tivo/DVR - the first episode premieres on May 25th!  You can see one of our photos on the front of the TLC website below!

Product Shoot
Carlo’s Bakery, Hoboken, New Jersey

There are some jobs that come along, that despite the hard work, are just soooo sweet.  All puns aside, we had a blast working with the whole Carlo’s Bakery crew!  We felt like part of the fam as we snapped photos of every cake, cookie, pastry and pie in our little mini studio setup.  In total, we probably photographed 100+ tasty treats, the photos below, just being a random sample of the deliciousness.

We strongly recommend swinging by this amazing Hoboken bakery and checking out the pastry cases for some out-of-this world dessert.  If you aren’t local, good news, Carlo’s Bakery is working on adding an online ordering feature to their website, where our photos will be featured!

If you’re in the market for a wedding cake, schedule a tasting with head pastry chef Buddy Valastro.  His creations are as delectable on the palate as they are stunning.  —   When it came time to pick a baker for our own wedding cake, we knew hands down where we would end up!  We are ecstatic and can’t wait to see what Buddy and crew come up with!

Make sure you tune in April 19th to TLC to see the premiere of Cake Boss, which chronicles Buddy and his family (mom, sisters & their husbands) and their adventures in cake creation.

Check out the new gift tins!  And we can vouch for the crumb cake, delicious!

Spring Cupcakes make for beautiful wedding and shower favors!

Ever wonder what engaged photographers do in the middle of the night when they can’t sleep?  :P

Last week I went cake tasting with my friend Rikki.  I’m the Maid of Honor in her upcoming wedding at Seasons. Because I’m such a good friend, I allowed her to ‘force me’ to go sample some sugary sweets at Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken (ha)!  We had a great time, the cakes were moist and delicious and Rikki ended up ordering a magnificent wedding cake.  So I guess I’ve been thinking…

What about my wedding cake?  Buddy (from Carlo’s) showed me an amazing cake while I was there, and perhaps that will end up being “the cake” for me.  But until I actually make a decision, I think I’m allowed to indulge myself by spending a few odd hours doodling sugary confections on post-it notes.
