Here Comes The Bride


            Almost everyone is a fan of wedding cakes, but you haven’t seen anything until you watch Cake Boss!  Buddy is known for his beautiful, elegant, and unique wedding cakes.  First, Buddy meets with his clients and is determined to get the customer’s full story.  He wants to know how long they have been together, what their likes and dislikes are, and of course Buddy asks them to describe what kind of wedding cake they would like.

            After Buddy gathers the information from the clients, he then takes time to discuss it with the other bakers.  Together they come up with an idea that is everything the client asked for and much more. When Buddy makes wedding cakes he likes to have the cake tell a story about the clients. 


            Every wedding cake that Buddy and his bakers make are very different from any others they have made in the past.  Buddy makes floral, modern, buttercream, and hall wedding cakes.  He even makes vintage wedding cakes with bridges. 



            His father taught him how to make wedding cakes with bridges linking to one another.  The bridges symbolize two different families joining together as one. 

            The decorations on the wedding cakes are all edible.  Buddy and his crew are so good at what they do that people are always amazed by how real everything looks.  The flowers are so realistic and bring the cakes to life.



            Some of the wedding cakes are decorated with edible pictures made out of fondant.  Buddy uses the pictures to help tell the story of the bride and groom.  His specialty is making assorted flowers out of fondant.  On the show Buddy explains that making the flowers is a very difficult skill that takes much time to learn and become proficient.


            I love all the different wedding cakes Buddy makes on Cake Boss.  I love seeing the different piping techniques he uses as well as colors and details he puts into making beautiful wedding cakes.  When your big day comes, remember that Buddy is the baker for you!
