I love Cake Boss! I was amazed at seeing how beautifully they make their cakes, and I was amazed by how some of their cakes are able to have lights, fire, smoke and more. There were some really funny moments throughout some of their episodes. I also learned a lot about life through this show; up until I watched Cake Boss, I had no idea working at a bakery could be such a demanding job. And because working at a bakery can be very grueling the show definitely provoked great thoughts about God, family, reconciliation, trust, competency, humility, strength, skill, and talent. Therefore, I love Cake Boss! Have a great day and goooo Cake Boss!
OK I admit...I was a Cake Boss fan....once. I read the other less than stellar reviews and I have to admit they are right. I used to watch this show faithfully. The first couple seasons I sat through the fake drama, the fake acting, the "its all about Buddy" story lines, the whining voice narratives, everybody playing up their "Italian-ness", Buddy and his crew of nubile young female decorators who hover like baby birds with their mouths open for every job Buddy gives them, the young bucks and their passive reactions at Buddy's sometimes demeaning practical jokes and his overall Alpha gorilla chest thumping in the Kitchen. After all, what's not too love about a small Italian bakery run by a big Italian family, right? I'm old enough to remember the good old days...when ethnic neighborhoods were ethnic and authentic neighborhoods. People were hard working humble folk that simply enjoyed being in the neighborhood and in the moment. Now we have star power! Now we have the Italian sisters and their obvious $250 haircut and color jobs..cameo shots of their huge houses...and remarkably all from what is being touted as an unassuming little corner Italian bakery. Yeah....OK. Ah...but now Buddy is thinking..."Lets go to Italy on The Learning Channel's dime so Buddy can wow them in the old country" and "Let's get a warehouse--we're talking assembly line-mass production baby!" The show has taken a tawdry turn to say the least. It's no longer a glimpse into the life of a small Italian Bakery in Hoboken and the colorful family that runs it. Its about people believing in the actual roles they created for themselves and are marketing to an ignorant public starving for the good old days. How people continue to watch the show is way beyond me. Its just sad...
its all the same they get an order to make a cake they make a the cake incident free and they get into fights then they get another order and you get the drill by now nothing keeps you watching its so boring my daily life is more interesting to watch than cake boss and if they are not making cakes then there watching they are shopping for more ingredient's also where is the party you think they would show you the party but no that would be to interesting and you have to keep the honey BO BO crowd waiting oh and he has three more shows one where he gets people to make cakes and one where he helps business and yes they are just as boring as cake maybe less interesting
Cakes, family, events, confessions, mates, boys. And cakes. A predictable circle. Not impressive but surrelly nice. For the Italian flavor. Many cakes are far to be masterpieces. But the work, the relations between people, the surprise of the audience of party are good points for a sort of sweet trip in the life and the work of a comfortable cake artist.
I loved watching this show. I loved seeing all the beautiful and pretty cakes that was made. The cake design and making of the cake was fun to watch. Some of the designs they show were so creative. I highly recommend everyone watch this. It family friendly.
