Truly Dreadful Film

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I have seen 20 seconds of Jersey Shore, and it was terrible. I have seen 10 seconds of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and it's even worse. In fact, every reality show that I've seen even a glimmer of has left me with nothing but disgust to think that such people find its horrible cast of horrible people as entertaining.But not Cake Boss. FDA violations aside, this show is justified in its tension and melodrama. Unlike other shows which feature either jobless party-goers or cutthroat contest competitors, Cake Boss delivers a cast of characters that are tolerable and I'd venture to even call likable.They have a real job, which already puts them above previously mentioned reality show stars, and they have a legitimate reason to be stressed or a bit tense while working: they have a time frame within which to finish whatever overdecorated creation they're creating while still running the store for the walk-in customers.And when they pull a mean-spirited shenanigan, it's not your foul-mouthed drunken-minded prank, oh no, it is CALCULATED, DIABOLICAL meanness. Best example would be when Buddy ("The Cake Boss") found out that one of his brothers (I think) had a fear of clowns. So what does he do? Why, have a clown come in and help his bro get over his fear with a hug (and a lot of panicking). That was so spectacularly evil that I still remember it to this day.Is the show good? Eh, it's all right. But the fact that its characters aren't outright despicable towards one another, coupled with the fact that the cakes they make are cool, plus the fact that they usually find some way of delivering them to the wackiest people on the face of the Earth elevates this show above the rest of its competitors in what I consider the worst genre of television to ever exist.

Cake Boss was not a good representation for our Board of Health, NO GLOVES AT ANY TIME DURING THE SHOW, AND NO HAIR NETS AT ANY TIME DURING THE SHOW, ALL THE GLITTER, RATHER THAN THE CLEANLINESS! The attire was not one that should be in a bakery kitchen, jewelry, no white coats, gloves as stated above, and hair covered! I was not impressed, and as a reality show not a good representation of what we want to see our bakery kitchens looking like, spotless as well as the bakers.Has the Board of Health ever visited your site? if so, I am sure the grease in the basement, the attire, and the gloves, hairnets would be suggested or required.The results may look good, and taste good, but who knows what else we are eating resulting from unclean cooking staff, etc.

This show is pretty good, the cakes are very creative and I usually end up wanting one of them at my parties, but CARLO or whatever the main characters' name is should SHUT THE HECK UP. He says "awesome" way too much in his annoying accent and honestly, he is a JERK. he yells at his employees, who, surprisingly, allow him to! this is ridiculous and wrong, considering that they are a lot nicer and less annoying than him. He is just mean and EXTREMELY self-centered. I get annoyed just listening to this guy. I absolutely hate him. But, otherwise, this show is very interesting. The cakes all look delicious, they are pretty and lovely, and much of the show actually shows the making of the cake.

I previously saw Buddy on the Food Networks Challenges, he was on a Disney Cakes Episode. He is a great decorator. This show which is on TLC, is awesome. If you like 'Ace of Cakes' on Food Network, you will like this show. Buddy does mostly wedding and birthday cakes, but they also make all kinds of treats for the bakery downstairs 'Carlos Bakery'. Up stairs is where most of the episodes take place, Buddy decorating, on the phone with people who want cakes, he also likes to yell at his Family - his sisters work downstairs, his brother is law is a baker, etc. He also has the 'confessionals' booth were he talks about the cakes he makes, the people he encounters, his employees, and you also get to see that he is married and has 3 children. Great show ! Recommend it to everyone !!
