"That's what I'm talking about baby!": May 2012

Last summer my sister Emily and I were invited to go to Cape Cod with some of our cousins and our grandparents. We drove together. My aunt and uncle realized that we could drive through New Jersey to get to Massachusetts. We all immediately thought of Carlos Bakery, since it is in New Jersey. My cousins are huge fans of Cake Boss too. My aunt and uncle decided that we would spend one night in New Jersey to break up the long drive.

My aunt found a hotel for us to stay in that was close to Carlos Bakery. After a very long and tiring day in the car we finally made it to New Jersey. We checked into our hotel, and then decided to go explore the town for a good dinner.

As we were driving, my cousin and I wanted to find Carlos Bakery. We typed in Carlos Bakery into my GPS and saw that we were really close. We were heading right towards it! My sister, cousins, and I kept our eyes peeled. We were determined to find Carlos Bakery.

All of a sudden my younger cousin screams “there it is!” The rest of us didn’t see where he was pointing. Then as soon as we were closer to it we all screamed! It was so exciting.

We had planned to go to the bakery in the morning, but since we were right there we decided to go that night. That night it had been raining on and off. We only had to wait in line to get into Carlos Bakery for about a half an hour to forty five minutes. We were very lucky.

As we got closer and closer we were freaking out with excitement! We started thinking about what pastries we wanted to buy. Each group of people waiting in line was given a number. We knew it was almost our turn to go in.

Finally we were called to go in! There were so many people in the bakery at once. It was crazy in there. Even though we were inside we still had to wait for our number to be called. That was perfectly okay with us. Just being inside the bakery was amazing. There was so much to take in.

Along the walls there are pictures of buddy and his family working at the bakery. There are also several replicas of cakes that Buddy has made on his show. Above the pictures and cakes there were articles that talked about Buddy and his family and the history of Carlos Bakery.

After spending some time looking around the bakery, our number was finally called. Our aunt told us we could get whatever we wanted. All together we bought two red velvet cupcakes, two vanilla cupcakes, a bunch of cannoli’s, a couple lobster tails (which are a delicious desert not an actual lobsters tail), and we bought a small circle beach themed cake. My aunt had them write happy 50^th anniversary on it. My grandparent’s anniversary was coming up and we wanted to surprise them with the cake when we got to Cape Cod. We also bought some t-shirts and sweatshirts from the bakery.

When we were paying for our goodies one of Buddy’s sisters Lisa came down stairs. It was so exciting! My aunt asked her if we could take a picture with her and she said yes. She was very nice.

After we took a picture with her we went out for dinner. Later that night we tried a couple of our Carlos Bakery goodies, and let me tell you they were delicious! They were incredible. I would have to say they were the best deserts I have ever had. When we ate the cake it was sweet, creamy, and simply wonderful!

I most definitely want to go to Carlos Bakery again. I can assure you it is definitely worth the wait!
