Cake Boss

With a bit of sibling rivalry and a hint of undercover mob activity, Cake Boss captivates audiences. The baking challenge show comes straight from the Carlo’s Bake Shop, an Italian-American family-owned business in Hoboken New Jersey. Buddy, his wife, Grace Faugno and Mary Sciarrone makes edible art cakes for big-time events. The show focuses on the stress and relationships of the bakers and employees. Perhaps off camera the family isn’t so volatile with each other. In fact, Buddy isn’t even usually at the cake shop when he isn’t filming for the show. There is even speculation that some of the events spotlighted on the show are not even real-life parties.
