Cake Boss will not disappoint loyal fans of the popular bakery show, now shooting its third season on The Learning Channel. Buddy Valastro writes an honest account of how he earned the right to call himself the chief baker and business manager for his family’s 100-year-old Hoboken establishment known as Carlo’s Bake Shop. Full of personal accounts about his four older sisters, his mother, and his father - who taught this master baker literally everything he knows about business, salesmanship, and genuine customer service - add a touch of family drama without being too invasive. The reader feels a special bond with the Valastro family, who worked hard to establish an artisan family business in the early 20th-century, and in turn carries on a lost art and tradition of from-scratch baking. Read Cake Boss for laughs and a few tears, in addition to the many mouth-watering recipes included in the back of the book. Cream puff anyone? -Kathy (Downtown)
