cake boss

Another fun friday today! Morgan paid a visit up to Bloomfield from her house down south Jersey. Took an hour and a half. We met up around noon and went to Dunkin' Donuts to fill her empty stomach. Actually, we were planning to get some eats at Raymond's in Montclair but couldn't find the place for the life of me. So DD was the choice.

Morgan and I went to Floyd Hall to get my check and met up with Hacker. So what did we do to make our friday fun? Went to Hoboken to stop at the famous Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop located at 95 Washington St. You might have seen their show Cake Boss on TLC. You can check out their website HERE.

We arrived at the bakery and placed a couple small orders. The inside is clean and full of customers. It was small though, like an elementary school hallway, with counters on both sides. The place was decorated with Buddy's awards and pictures of his cakes made for celebrities. We got to chat with Buddy's mother for a tad and asked if we could even take a picture with her. Of course she said yes... I mean who could say NO to this face. =)

Then Hacker used his BlackBerry to check on Zagat for the best pizzeria in Hoboken. The number one hot spot for pizza was Benny Tudino's at 622 Washington St. We headed over there as soon as our stomach started growling at us.

This place was awesome! You enter the pizzeria and the cooks are right there asking for your order. The menu wasn't big, yet wasn't minute. They were really nice and told us to take a seat so we can figure out what we wanted.

short story: you should have seen my face when our waiter came to hand us our slices. It was huge. I obviously didn't read "the biggest slices" part on the menu.

We headed home before traffic got to us. We sat down and opened our boxes of sweets from Carlo's Bakery. I ordered a fruit cup and Hacker got a red velvet cupcake.
