Hey fellow cake enthusiasts welcome back! I'm sure some of you are getting a little disappointed with me focusing only on one type of cake for the time being! I will however included a little something special at the end of the blog for you guys!
Anyways I went to Carlo's Bake Shop made famous on the hit TLC show Cake Boss during a one-day short trip to NYC in April 2014. I'm originally from Canada where I love watching Buddy's shows on TLC. When I went to visit my best friend, who lives in NYC for a short weekend trip I was beyond excited! I thought "Great let's celebrate my birthday with something at Buddy's." Well, it turned out to be a bad idea.The cakes were fantastic, really superb taste. They taste as good as they look. They were very moist yet not too moist! I knew there had to be a reason why people loved Carlo's Bake Shop so much! But: the service was very, very disappointing. Only the friendly guy at the register seemed to enjoy his work and to know how to deal with costumers. He had a nice word to everyone, also to children, and the service was still not slow. To the contrary, the people at the showcases looked really depressed, as it were a punishment to them to work at this place and to serve costumers. I am sure I had a friendlier face when I had my appendix removed! Also, the place has not got any rest rooms, so no way you could wash your hands before eating the cakes. It was overcrowded, and very dirty. I simply cannot understand how the owner who teaches other bakeries how to run a bakery, can run such a dirty and badly organized café. If you are in the neighbourhood and the place is not overcrowded then give it a try. But otherwise the place is not worth a visit. I am positive there are plenty of places that sell delicious pastries AND are also friendly and clean.Take everything I saw with a grain of salt however, if you are solely interested in the cake and not so much the environment than I would totally recommend it, however if you are looking for an overall great dining experience this is not the place for you!
NOW for my other type of cake lovers out there, I haven't forgotten about you! A new blog post all about cake 😏 coming soon!
