Carlo's Bakery

Today I went to Hoboken, NJ (an hour away) to get a cake at Carlo's Bakery. Carlo's Bakery is on TLC's show "Cake Boss". I wasn't expecting to see the Statue of Liberty on the drive!
This is Carlo's Bakery. It took a while to find a parking spot!

This is Mary, I was expecting her to be mean!
I asked her if people taking her picture annoyed her. 
She said, "No, what annoys me are my sisters!" 
Then, she smiled for a picture.
I told her if I worked there I would cry.
She informed me that it is VERY hard working there.
This is what her bio on TLC says:
Mary Sciarrone is the middle child of all the Valastro siblings and works at the bakery on the retail side dealing with customers. This at times seems like an odd job for her because she is by far the most confrontational, outspoken and blunt member of the family.

This is another sister, Maddalena.
 Maddalena 'Madeline' Castano is the second oldest Valastro sister and she's incredibly loyal and hard working. She's married to Buddy's right-hand ma, Mauro and works at the front counter with the rest of the girls.

This is Mauro. He smiled for the picture... I just took it too soon! I said, "I know it's cold but smile!"

This is the most expensive cake I've ever bought, and will ever buy, in my life! I doubt my wedding cake will be this much per person! How much was it? $44.95! It's an 8" cake! It better be amazingly delicious!

This is the picture from TLC. Mary said where Buddy was but I couldn't hear/understand her.

I was really surprised how nice everyone was! I talked to all of the main people that I saw... I was actually outgoing today! ;)

It was pretty good. It was 3 layers, vanilla cake, fudge, and chocolate cake. But, not what it was worth!
