Carlo's Bakery

The family-owned Carlo’s Bakery won its worldwide fandom by making what many hail as sone of the best baked goods anywhere. Originally opened by Carlo Guastaffero in 1910, Bartolo Valastro Sr. acquired Carlo's in 1963. After Valastro's sudden passing, his son—master baker Bartolo "Buddy" Jr.—took charge at 17 years old to fulfill Dad's original dream of making Carlo's Bakery a household name.

Since debuting on TLC's hit series, Cake Boss in 2009, Carlo's Bake Shop rocketed to international stardom. From humble Hoboken beginnings, Carlo’s is now a modern-day mecca for pastry lovers.
