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!

Portrait Shoot - Cast Photos, TLC:  Cake Boss
Carlo’s Bakery, Hoboken, New Jersey

We returned to our favorite spot on Washington Street for a second day of photography - although this time at Carlo’s Bakery, our focus was the people, not the pastries!  If you missed all the sweet treats the first time around, just scroll down a few posts for part 1 of our Carlo’s Bakery Photo Session or click here:  product shoot.

In addition to individual head shots, we also snapped some group portraits.  I love the attitude in the “cast photos” below.

Set your Tivo/DVR to watch the family in action.  Cake Boss - TLC - Sundays at 10/9 C.

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!
