Talk:Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro, Jr./@comment-71.200.0.193-20160813055523

My family and I drove from lower Delaware to the Hoboken Bakery with our granddaughter for her birtday, her birthday wish/present because she is such a hugh fan of Buddy and the show. Actually we all are a big fan of The Cake Boss show and seen every episode aired. This trip to Hoboken has been as dream of our granddaughter since she was 11 she is now 15. So needless to say, she was excited. It was July 28th, a beautiful day. We enjoyed a walk on the river walk and the view across the river looking over New York was spectacular. We were ssuprised on how quaint Hoboken was, such a nice little town. Anyway about our visit to the bakery.The outside had no benches, potted plants, nothing, it looked like the rest of the store fronts it was attached to. Inside was very disapointing. There was just one little table to sit at while waiting to order. Why no big displays of dummy cakes as decoration? Why no big glass cases filled with cakes, pastrys and cookies like it shows during filming? No fantastic smells of cakes being baked. It was like walking into anyother bakery in anyother town. My granddaughter was heart broken. We all were very disapointed, we expected fantastic. We expected great deserts, I guess i really don't know what we expected, but it wasn't what we got that's for sure. And the worse, the connolis were hard and tastless, and the cupcakes were dry. What happened to the great baker? Doesn't Buddy inspect his bakery to make sure they are keeping up his standards? There was one saving grace with our visit, Buddy's sister Maddalin was there and she was very gracous. She let us take pictures with her and she chetchatted with us and that saved my granddaughters day. Other than that, I don't think we'll be going back, to long of a trip when we can go down to any one of our own bakerys here. Sorry Buddy. I really hope you get to read this so you can fix what is or isn't going on in your "famous bakery". signed a very disapointed fan, Cora Lillemon at coralovenick1@gmail.com
