Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Mr Black I've seen this 'show' a few times. What do you do when you have hit the absolute bottom in creativity?? You start doing a reality show. Or worse, do a reality show on a guy in a bakery. Cripes.! It's like watching Archie Bunker except he makes cakes. I simply can't get past those thick Italian New York accents. If that isn't a turn off, then all the 'drama' is. Seriously, drama i a bakery? It's like "Oh no! The icing isn't ready." So every goes crazy. Not to mention watching them make these cakes - yuk,, something I would not want to eat. Sorry, this really is terrible television.
ikrani 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.
tmcute 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.
jrohara-2 I was excited to watch this show as I love Ace of Cakes. The first few minutes were promising, a great Italian family and their delicious looking cakes! After watching two episodes that both had clearly fake reality moments put in ruined the show. In one episode a bride to be pours ugly icing all over the cake when he steps out of the room and in another someone gets painters to paint the kitchen hot pink...fake situations and even worse reactions by the cast. These were only of a few of many unbelievable moments. Why can't we watch this clearly interesting family and talented bakers make cakes...to me that would be much more entertaining!
