I made a very important purchase yesterday. I headed to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, NJ (for the 2nd time) to order R's 8th birthday cake. You already know that R. is obsessed--to put it mildly--with Cake Boss. And her greatest birthday wish was a "cake by Buddy." I explained that the big cakes they show on Cake Boss are wayyyy out of our price range, but I'd see if we could get a smaller one. So, I won't spill all the details about her cake except to say that there's fondant, Princess Peach, and lots of pink, and that, yes, it is on the small side. And that if it makes her as happy as she deserves to be (she hasn't had the easiest year), then it will be worth every dollar. I'll post pictures of it on her big day. In the meantime, if you want to see what some (more elaborate) Cake Boss birthday cakes look like, check out its specialty cake gallery.
p.s. One big benefit of ordering a custom cake at Carlo's--you get to order your own treats right afterwards, without waiting on the notoriously long line. Yum.
