~Day 132~ Mr. "Cake Boss" Himself

Today was such an exciting day! After spending the morning at the Willowbrook Mall (that's not the exciting part), it was time to go visit Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey, where they film the TLC show "Cake Boss." They were filming that day, so a lot of the stars of the show were there and came out for a quick greeting. We got to see Lisa, Mauro, Joey, and the star of the show, Buddy!


On our way.


The young guys at the door let a few people in at a time. They give you a number as you enter.



So many yummy cakes to choose from.





Some display cakes around the shop.



This one had to be my favourite.


Or, maybe this one. They were definitely the top two.


Mary looks kinda scary on this cake.



There's Danny in the back.


Buddy's sister, Lisa, came out and took photos with some of the fans.




Mauro came out and read a letter that a little girl left for him. Unfortunately, they had already left the shop before he came out.



Joey came out briefly.


And finally, after waiting for what seemed like hours, Buddy came out to greet us!



What a great time we had at Carlo's Bakery!

Next, it was off to see Grand Central Station!






It was cool to get to actually see some of the places where they filmed scenes from the movie, "Arthur" having just recently seen the film.


Cool, Black and White cookies, just like on Seinfeld. (I also saw Drake's coffee cake in one of the convenience stores.)


Junior's apparently has the world's best cheesecake, but having just come from Carlo's Bake Shop, I was unable to put that theory to the test. Maybe next time!



And, we ended this eventful day with a Broadway show, featuring Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette. (Yep, I saw "Harry Potter" live, in person.) Unfortunately, photos are not permitted in the theatres, so I had to make do with some shots of the billboards, before we went in. (These are not the greatest quality, as they were taken with my phone.)



There is a ferris wheel in the Toys R Us. (It was closed so I had to shoot through the glass. We were just passing by on the way back to the bus, after our show.)


Just before boarding the bus to go back to the hotel for the night, we saw Reeve Carney being interviewed on the side of the street. He is currently starring as Spiderman on Broadway, and incidentally, will be visiting the Moncton area this summer when he and his band, Carney, open for U2 at Magnetic Hill.
