So for those who do not know, Buddy Valastro is the Cake Boss. He has his own show on the TLC Network (nuff said). To give you a brief synopsis....Italian guy peddles pastries....the end.
Anyway, so Cake Boss opened up a bakery on 42nd street in Manhattan right next to the Shit hole of all shit holes, the Port Authority. Yes the place is a shit whole because the mongrel race of baggers and whinos that comprise and reside there...but I digress.
So this fratello, in my opinion, is balls out overrated. After days of walking past it, I decided to finally stop in and see what the fuss was about. When I walk in, I'm greeted by some hood gentleman who tells me that the credit card machines are down and when I walk through the door to use the wheelchair ramp instead of the step. If anyone knows me, you know my mind exploded with sarcastic confusion but I was polite. I just said sure no problem. So I walk in, quickly survey the step, which I still don't see why It was off limits, and walk 5 feet out my way to the wheelchair ramp.
At the end of the wheel chair ramp is this display window where you can see all the cakes and pastries being made. Only thing I saw that was an appetizing 5'4 brunette with hazel eyes, black skirt, red Mary Jane's, and gold bracelet, that read " peace". Yea I took glance, SO WHAT! Ok Ill hurry this up.
The place is set up very poorly but I think it was done purposely. Its on the South west corner and its all glass so it gets full exposure. Last year alone NYC welcomed 50.9 million tourists which undoubtedly filter through 42nd street at some point. When you walk in, there is this display case that houses all the pastries and artery clogging goodies. But the all that is hard to see because the line of patrons is blocking it. Also there are no prices for anything. How the hell am I supposed to know how much I'm being monetarily raped. So i decide to opt for a simple vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting
Hmmmm......where do I begin. Remember Easy Bake Ovens? Yea I was the damn boss of that thing. This buddy character is a piece of work. The Cupcake I had was dry and reminded me of something a PTA parent would sell for her kid at the annual back sale. There was no holyshit moment. There was no orgasmic mouth ejaculation. NONE OF THAT! In my opinion the place is no better than Crumbs and that's not a compliment because Stephen Hawking could bake better. Only thing that was ok was the price which was fair at $3.00 and change.
