Love Buddy..... he's amazing great show and flawless food❤

[@dustercat21]

I met Buddy in 2012 when I worked for a radio station. He promised me back then that he would love to make my wedding cake when I had asked if he would. Its been 11 years, still not married but I went down to the bakery in Hoboken last year and I was happy to be there. It brings back good memories of meeting him and talking with him. I also love that I can doordash his cakes or pieces of cake overnight to my house 😅

[@docgregg2]

Buddy and his team of wonderfully talented artists have created thousands of beautiful cakes over the years. Buddy is known for his generosity and his big heart. He has always given so much to charitable endeavors. Buddy is one of a kind. I have enjoyed his tv show for several years and will miss him. I wish him well. ❤️

[@debramcmurl348]

I will always love watching his baking he is still number 1 to me go Buddy!

❤😊 Cake boss best show I visited the bakery in Hoboken in NYC my first stop! I am a retired cake decorator so it was on my bucket list😊

[@PhoenixRising734]

The writing on this video was confusing. It went backwards and forwards in time. It repeated parts. There really was no 'fall' of cake boss even with some controversial behaviors. In fact, it sounds like he is still pretty successful doing other things.

[@sonyafox3271]

No, he isn’t doing other things, he’s a baker and, in the bakery business, he’s not going to quit in the middle of his career to go on doing something completely different, that wouldn’t make no sense, especially since, he’s quite successful, duh! His business has expanded and, no, the video if you paid attention didn’t go backwards and, forwards, you didn’t watch closely, it was going in depth into the history of his tv shows he’s been in thus far and, what he’s currently doing now and, things he’s doing now and, the current charities he’s helping out of his business and, fame expanding! It pays off to listen and, to pay attention! But, nothing was repeated and, I am watching the same video and, I seen none of that!

[@PhoenixRising734]

@@sonyafox3271 - damn you for making me watch it again. I stand by what I said. It started out chronological til 2009 then jumped to 2017 mentioning his mom's death, then back to 2013 through 2021. Then it goes back to 2020 then to 2018 then back to 2014. Then from about 17 min to the end, the narrator just starts repeating Buddy's skills and history. I also did not say he gave up cake making by saying he was successful doing 'other things'. I was referring to his other stores, his restaurants, his other shows to make the point that Buddy never failed despite the controversaries he faced. Maybe YOU should go watch it again. I'm done.

[@blessedwatkins2587]

Is this click bait

[@Norsknurse]

I guess….you can tell by the mega mansions all the siblings are all building.

[@Michelle-jm7hh]

This was a hit piece and click bait. Shame on whoever wrote this. There is no "fall" of Buddy. Businesses are always going to have issues with staff especially when the boss becomes famous. They want their 15 mins of fame. Though I am sure Buddy has made his share of mistakes just like all of us the good he has brought to everyone fars outweighs anything else. He is and always will be the cake boss and a hero to those he has helped. He is a legend and has touched so many people's lives!

[@carlosencarnacion9425]

Have to agreed. In no point did it feel like there was a fall or anything like it. It felt more like he had some stumbles along the way with the work allegations which feels like they were the only big problem and always have to be taken sometimes with a bit of grain of salt. The DUI while serious isn't as bad and it probably was blown more out of propotion based on him been famous and well known. The other stuff seem minor in all honesty. A show going on for 10 years is huge success in all honesty. Every show has to eventually end (even if is a reality show without define story with begging and end). He is still sucessful, his business are still doing good, he still appears in shows there is no fall whatsoever O_o

[@WihiriaMark]

Thanks for your response! We’re mikes away and wouldn’t know any difference but I enjoyed Big Boss. It was a show I enjoyed which I don’t usually watch so I’m glad to get a more positive response, appreciate you sharing!

The title is misleading. He didnt fall. Hes still thriving.

Cake Boss will never die!

[@paulagarcia8215]

His family is from my town and his old house is across the street from me. His sister owns a restaurant and her mom used to own another. This British show glosses very lightly over the family ideal. They missed a lot

[@awesomekoga7848]

I went to Vegas and bought 2 slices of cake from a vending machine. I got the chocolate and the rainbow. I took it home to Hawaii. I am happy to have tried two of Buddy’s cakes. My son was happy to try it because we watched Cake Boss faithfully and always said we would want to try going to his bakery.

I enjoyed the cake boss shows. I looked forward every Monday evening 06:00pm watching it. Now, it has been replaced with a different show and I do not watch it. I am disappointed that cake boss has been taken off. It was something that was enjoyed and fulfilled my Monday evenings. It would be awesome if it was returned. I wish all the best to the friends and families that were part of the show. Please bring the reruns back!

[@nphipps9406]

after all Buddy went through he still in business and did expand and continue to do so. He was also an driving example for all his family and workers, look what they have done for themselves because of Buddy, not to mentioned other charities. SOOO, WHERE DID HE FALL. youtubers will come and go, but Buddy remain in spite of everything.

[@patricec.2957]

cake boss represents the 21st century, when the outside is more important than the inside. Seen from Europe, these cakes aren't even worthy of being sold in a hard discount store.

In the show “Cake Boss”, the performance of the pastry chef, if we can call it that, is alarming in terms of hygiene. The non-compliance with HACCP rules is blatant, and it is shameful to see such negligence in the preparation of cakes on television.

[@ramdjow2882]

I have mixed feelings about Buddy. On one hand I really respect him as a strong leader with a lot of charisma, skill, and wisdom. But on the other side I’m questioning his character, especially with all the allegations that came out against him that seemed to be true. It bothers me how he took a small family business and turned it into something so commercial, with half-baked bakeries everywhere and stale cakes crammed into vending machines and grocery stores. He's opened multiple Carlos Bakery locations, but most of them either get terrible reviews or shut down because they can't keep up the quality and freshness. Selling "fresh pizzas" from vending machines in Vegas that taste bad is a far cry from what Carlos Bakery used to stand for. It feels like greed has changed him. Despite all this, I did respect who he used to be, and I still like his show, even though it's not airing on TV anymore. I’m really hoping those allegations about him weren’t true

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Since readers of comments have various viewpoints, I can see/agree with yours. It would be hard to be in the public eye since we all make mistakes. B.V. is/was lacking emotional intelligence in many ways. The mistakes were from social/lawful/ignorance and lack of formal edu. which may or may not have polished him. He has had higher than most creative ability. It is likely many are jealous of him. It must be horribly tough to be in the public eye.

[@maeroseleen5004]

They are just envy to Cake Boss because of his popularity and being successful... ❤

[@shellnet411]

I think it's too nice on Buddy. He's nothing I was bored with his stuff. Duff Goldman's was much more entertaining and he is much more creative. Jacques Torres is the original so trying to say buddies the one who started it Jack Torres did this when buddy was in diapers back in the early 90s or 80s. He's no Jacques, Torres no ace of cakes he's nobody. you kind of gloss over the truth he can do little cannolis, but cakes that stuff, Jack Torres, the king of chocolate tears
