Yes, it is the bakery in which "Cake Boss", is filmed at! I had my cake delivered from Hoboken, to Kansas (very far drive for the team,) but they managed! And my cake couldn't of been more spectacular. There was written on the cake "Good Luck, David!", for my husband, and we loved it! Also as the cake topper, there was my my dog and Dave's dog, yanking on my dress! So funny! This is the BEST BAKERY EVER. In the look, value, and most importantly, taste, I give it 5 stars! -Khaluha & Dave

Carlo's Bakery is known as the "Cake Boss" and after working with them it is easy to see why! Their cakes are absolutely delicious! No traditional blah wedding cakes here! The flavors taste home made! Our cake was actually included in our contract with our venue (the liberty house in jersey city) yet we had over 20 designs to choose from, and countless flavor combinations, and were even able to set up a tasting! We loved it so much that we ordered an additional grooms cake from them, in a different flavor. We will absolutely be returning customers!

How often do things live up to their hype??? Well in this case they sure do -- the Cake Boss made us a delicious and gorgeous wedding cake! We also bought cookies for a cookie bar that were also delicious! Home run!!!! And the guys were so great to work with!

I first tried Carlos Bakery a few years ago - my first red velvet cupcake. Ever since, I've been trying to find somewhere that can come close so I can indulge without going all the way to Hoboken. I've not found any that can even resemble it. Since I'd failed to find anything even remotely resembling the red velvet I craved, I went to Hoboken the morning before my wedding to pick up a Red Velvet cake from the case. We didn't open the box until about 9pm the following day and the cake was absolutely amazing! So fresh, moist and delicious - just what I had wanted... I was nervous how it would hold up after a day and a half since it usually doesn't last me more than 5 hours when I get one - but it was just as good as fresh. We ate a slice every morning before we left for the day and every night when we returned for the next 4 or 5 days - still totally delicious. I don't have any experience with custom orders or official 'wedding cake' orders... but if you'd be happy with standard cakes from the display case to serve at your wedding - I think it's the way to go! I got a few other things while I was there, so not 100% sure on the price, but it was around $25 or less and easily served 12 really good sized pieces.

Me and my husband got our wedding cake from Carlos Bakery and I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it came out! We had our wedding overlooking the NYC skyline and our cake was made to match that! It had cutouts of buildings to match the skyline! It was a skyline cake! It came out so great and we were so happy with your service! Not to mention the cake tasted amazing! If you want your cake to be picture perfect go with Carlos! It's so worth it! Thanks to all the staff at Carlos Bakery for a wonderful job!

Believe the hype!
Our wedding cake was not one of those over the top 3D cakes on the TV show, but was an elegant 4 layer cake. My wife and I selected Red Velvet and a variant of strawberry shortcake. 2 weeks post wedding I am still getting complements on how good the cake was. Even thinking of eating the top layer!

I have to say, we only used Carlos' Bakery b/c our venue has a contract with them, and they automatically do all the wedding cakes. With that being said, it made things super easy for us- all we had to do was enjoy a delicious tasting! My husband loves the show, so it was that much more fun to have our first official cake from Carlos'. And everyone is still talking about it!

When I found out my venue provided a Cake Boss cake with our package, I really wasn't expecting much. I'd seen the show and had been to the bakery a few times and it didn't seem like anything special. Scheduling our tasting was a pain and it was even more difficult pushing through the massive crowds to get to our appointment. But I have to say, the cake was probably the best I'd ever tasted. Fresh, moist and delicious. Even the fondant was tasty. I'm drooling thinking about it now and I can't believe I have to wait a whole year to eat the left overs!

The cake came together with my package from the venue but we did go to Carlo's to select the cake and taste the options.
Very delicious cake but limited options if you are choosing from the basic options. Most of them were very old fashioned. The cake we chose had green flowers on it and they charged us $100 just to change the color of the flowers to pink, which I thought was totally absurd.

Our wedding cake was beautiful and it was good but it was not AMAZING, knock you off your feet good. The $1,000 we paid was more for the name and not the quality. Not completely worth it.

My husband loved his UFC Octagon groom's cake from Carlo's Bakery. Making an appointment was simple and my consultation with Mauro helped me in thoroughly planning my cake ideas. Mauro helped to design a comical cake with my husband and I in our martial arts uniforms, with me side kicking him! While it was a little hard getting in touch with them to change the cake filling, once I did get in touch with somone, they were extremely flexible in accomodating me. I liked how Mauro called to confirm every aspect of the cake prior to it being made two days before the wedding. The guests were amazed and my husband was in utter shock when the cake was brought out. While it was definitely overpriced, it was well worth it! Everyone still talks about the cake from it's design to how delicious the black and white cake with fudge filling tasted!

I was a little worried that the cake wasn't going to be what i wanted, since you just simply tell them what you want, and have to hope that the cake will look that way on your wedding day, but i was pleasantly suprised! The cake was not only gorgeous, but delicious! The cake was absolutley gorgeous, and was the highlight of our wedding : ) we were very happy : )

The Cake Boss!! although it was a little tough getting an appointment, they hooked us up with an absolutely beautiful cake... and it was pretty yummy too! Buddy himself delivered it the day of the wedding. It was a good photo opp!

We got our wedding cake from Carlo's Bakery and it was delicious. Not only does Carlo's make beautiful looking cakes, they actually taste even better. We were very happy with the flavors we chose - we alternated chocolate cake and chocolate ganache filling with black and white cake with fudge filling. Our guests were raving about the cake. Many told us it was the best cake they have ever had. The only minus to working with Carlo's is that the shop is very busy. We didn't have the best experience going in for the cake tasting. It was practically impossible to get to the table in the back of the store where they do all of the consultations. Once we made it there, we didn't have any privacy and could barely hear one another over the crowd in the bakery. But in the end, it was worth it!

I went with Carlo's Bakery, because my venue (The Liberty House Restaurant) contributed to the cost. My initial consultation was good. They seemed to understand my vision and the cake tasting was delicious. This place has delicious cake. That said, the cakes here are expensive! and only getting more so due to the popularity of "cake boss". When I arrived at my venue on my wedding day, the first thing I noticed was that the cake was a little sloppy and not 100% correct. It was supposed to have those little gold balls on it and they were missing. Luckily my venue was awesome and had someone from the bakery over to fix the cake before the cocktail hour was over. Overall I think that Carlo's Bakery is overrated.

Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken made my wedding cake and it was the best cake I have ever tasted. We met with Mauro for our consultation and then with Frankie to go over some last minute changes to detail. They are really great to work with. It is a little hard to get in touch with them on the phone to make an appointment so make sure you specify you want a wedding cake. They are also a little pricey but definitely worth it, beautiful work.

The team at Carlos was able to duplicate my dream wedding cake (from a random image online) with no issue! The cake was delicious (vanilla cake with fresh strawberries, french cream filling, and butter cream icing!). The reason for the low quality of service score is that they forgot to deliver our grooms cake- the person who took my order simply forgot to put it on the same delivery ticket as our wedding cake. They have refunded my $$ as well as given me a credit for a future cake. It was a surprise for my fiance & no one knew it was missing... but still. The cake was part of the wedding package from our venue, so I'm not sure how much it would have been on its own, but I gave it a 4 out of 5.

Beautiful cake, perfectly matched my flowers. Prices somewhat outrageous and filling is not very special
