But these multitiered, over-the-top creations

a TV show about Buddy Valastro's family bakery.

But its fame goes far beyond extraordinary cakes.

This is Carlo's Bake Shop, and it's been a staple

Customer: It's just absolutely a go-to institution.

Taryn: We're in Hoboken, New Jersey, which is not that far

is known for one bake shop: Carlo's Bakery.

but they're also known for some really good pastries.

So, before we head inside, we're gonna meet up

with the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro,

to learn a little bit more about this 100-year-old bakery.

About 50 years later, Carlo's sold the business

hangs across from Hoboken City Hall today.

Buddy worked closely with his father as a kid,

But halfway through high school, everything changed.

Buddy Valastro: When I was 17, I lost my dad,

to be the next boss, right, of the bakery.

I was kinda, like, in limbo, but then one day

I was just in my car, I was driving, and I said,

Whatever I gotta do, I'm gonna make this place successful.

everybody counted on me to rise to the occasion

Taryn: Buddy saved his father's beloved recipes

It took a few years for Buddy to master fondant,

but once he had, he began designing cakes

the celebrity TV baker that launched the Carlo's empire.

Buddy: I bet you, if we go to the bakery today,

You're coming in from Chile, you're not taking

this giant, five-tier cake that's moving and spinning.

Taryn: Although "Cake Boss" helped Carlo's

achieve worldwide fame, the shop was loved by locals

Customers praised their traditional Italian pastries.

Before the show aired, Carlo's was selling

Among the best sellers are their signature lobster tails.

and I love to, like, pick up a dozen cannolis

or a dozen lobster tails, or sometimes six of each,

and bring them to the office when we're expecting a bad day.

shell-shaped pastries filled with Bavarian cream.

Buddy: This is the hardest Italian pastry to make, by far.

Taryn: This, right here? Buddy: 'Cause you gotta

get it perfect, 'cause you gotta still be tight,

but it has to be greased, otherwise the lines

Taryn: I'm just shocked it's not ripping.

Buddy: Yeah, so it's a balance of how much you pull

and we're gonna pull it back a little, right?
