Today, Carlo’s Bakery has 21 locations in the United States and one in Brazil. Buddy is also President of Cakehouse Media, a production company with notable shows such as TLC’s Cake Boss and Food Network’s Cooks Vs. Cons. Buddy has authored four books: Cake Boss: Stories and Recipes from Mia Famiglia; Baking With The Cake Boss: 100 of Buddy’s Best Recipes and Decorating Secrets; Cooking Italian With The Cake Boss; and Family Celebrations With The Cake Boss. NBC’s Today Show viewers voted his design as the best cake in America, and his award-winning cakes have been featured in countless bridal and baking magazines, such as Modern Bride and The Knot.
Established in 1910, Carlo’s Bakery was catapulted from a Hoboken, N.J.based neighborhood bakery to a household name through the public’s fascination with the over-the-top cakes whipped up by the master baker on the hit TLC series Cake Boss and subsequent spinoff Next Great Baker.
