By nature, I consider myself to be a creative creature, I love it when I become inspired because it is when I create my most appreciated works of art, whether it be an organizational project, a craft, a poem, a new recipe, a blog post, or even a smash book page... I love being creative. So it is only fitting that I become engrossed in television shows that display a level of creativity that is absolutely fantastic. Ultimately, I enjoy watching the food network, cooking shows, and things of the like, Paula Dean is a hoot, and Top Chef is amazing, but nothing takes the cake like my NEW favorite show CAKE BOSS!!!
"Buddy" Valastro runs his father's shop Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey!!! Now there have been plenty of other shows that are about bakers and crazy amazing cakes, but something about Buddy that just melts my heart. First and foremost, he's got an amazing personality, he's funny, silly, serious, creative, and family oriented.
How could I possibly know that Buddy is Family oriented? The majority of the staff at the bakery is made up of Buddy's family, whether it be immediate of extended! Which I think is amazing and completely awesome at the same time. All of the team members are Carlo's Bakery work extra hard to fill all of the customized orders every week, but also to keep the bakery afloat and when mistakes happen, and they do, Buddy has a fit, but then the all band together to get the job done, even if it is until 2-3 in the morning!
How does Buddy get the title of Cake Boss? He makes the most amazing cakes, he has an amazing vision, he's not just a baker, or a cake decorator, he's a visionary. You give Buddy your idea, and he'll create you a cake that is exactly what you wanted. I love that people come from all over to purchase one of his cakes, and they challenge him... From O Magazine, City Replicas, and honoring top brands, his cakes are ALWAYS spectacular, because he oversees every single detail, and doesn't consider the cake done, until he's satisfied his vision.

I've got some crazy level of admiration for the Cake Boss, and though it might be silly, I want to visit Hoboken, New Jersey just so I can meet Buddy, his team, and of course devour one of his beautiful creations! Its not that Buddy is a Television Star that lives relatively close, it is that he's awesome, amazing and well, I want to be able to not just admire what I see on television, but to speak first hand about his work! Let's add this to my bucket list of things I just simply have to do and call it a day!
I've been inspired to share more bits and pieces about myself, my family and things that are important to me, I plan on featuring my sister on Immutable Ramblings as well, don't worry, it'll be a breath of fresh air, but through this collaboration, I hope to not just improve my blogging/writing skills, but to bond more with my sister, Jessika, MrsMorphosis!!!
Until Next Time,




Thank you for the compliments!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you frequently include pictures in your blogs. Some people really need and like that for added visual stimulation.
I'm glad that you feel the same way I do about this collaboration and our relationship. I feel like we're entering a new "stage" in our relationship that is going to be amazing and mutually beneficial in more ways than one!
Jason and Jada like to watch Cake Boss and all kinds of cooking shows, too. Jas, like you, is a creative and visual individual so of course he loves watching that kind of thing:).
It also makes sense that you'd like a show like this because you, too, are very focused and detail oriented. When you have something formed in your mind, I know you won't and CAN'T rest until it is fulfilled in the way you pictured it up there in that creative-storehouse-brain of yours:). Also, I can see you having absolutely no problem with - if not a preference for - jumping in to help out whoever, whenever in order to achieve a common goal.
Thanks for sharing this with us! This collaboration was fun! Now, let's get thinking about next week's topic!
Love you! XOXOXO
What a great opportunity! I love watching Cake Boss too and am always laughing and drooling (cake is yummy lol) while watching the show.
