On May 25 (otherwise known as Memorial Day) at 10 p.m., TLC unveils a new summer reality show with a culinary theme. It’s called “Cake Boss.”
I’ve seen commercials, and it looks like a cross between “The Sopranos” and “The Next Food Network Star.” Yes, it takes place in New Jersey.
Click here to visit the show’s official website.
Or just read the description I copied from said website:
“Buddy Valastro is one of the most successful and renowned cake artists in the United States. Master baker of Carlo’s City Hall Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey, Buddy is the cake boss.
“He supervises a team that includes his mother, four older sisters and three brothers-in-law. And when you’re working with family on a daily basis, there is bound to be a lot of drama. The Valastros know drama, but and at the end of the day, they also know love.
“‘Cake Boss’ chronicles Buddy’s over-arching desire to achieve his late father’s dream of making Carlo’s Bake Shop a household name with or without the help of his family.”
