Carlo's Bakery Looks to Expand in the New Year
In a recent phone interview, Buddy Valastro said the downtown bakery will see some renovations.
In a recent phone interview while filming his cooking show in Secaucus, Cake Boss Buddy Valastro said he plans on renovating Carlo's Bakery in the new year.
"We're going to re-do Carlo's Bakery," Valastro said. And while Valastro could not give an exact date for the renovations, he speculated it would happen in 2012. "We want to make the store bigger."
Since Valastro acquired a space in Jersey City where a lot of the baking and cooking can be done, a large part of the first floor of the bakery on Washington and Newark Streets can be used as bakery space.
Currently the bakery takes up a third of the first floor, which will be expanded by two thirds, Valastro said.
In the new year, Valastro said that there will be a Carlo's Bakery app for smart phones, to make ordering canoli, crumbcake and lobster roles, even easier.

He films his cooking show in Secaucus Most of his baking and cooking is done in Downtown Jersey City. and most if not ALL of his family has moved OUT of HOBOKEN years ago. so why does everybody in Hoboken fall on there ass for this phony? Hell it took a Pres of the UNITED STATES to get good old blue eyes to come back to HOBOKEN in 1984 (it was the St ANN'S FEAST on 5th n adam's ) and not many people made as big of a deal over that. Or should we start calling him SAINT BUDDY?
Not for nothing i've gotten better at the SHOP-RITE bakary at 14th street not only that but the stuff there is also cheaper AND there are no lines and the help is much nicer, his sisters had major tude problems even before he hit it big.
By the way who is he to choose the next greatest baker ? HE HIMSELF HAS NO FORMAL TRAINING AT ALL!!! He learned how to bake from his father. What is he trying to be GORDON RAMSY?

The Valastro family moved out of Hoboken decades ago. Buddy and all his sisters grew up in Little Ferry.

During my salad days in college we did a play about deep sea fishing. Nobody wanted to be in the "seafood platter" chorus, and my best friend and I were fooling around in the back of the room, and next thing you knew we were ordered in lobster roles. Those outfits were kept in a chilly room and were so cold and clammy to put on! The reviews of the show were terrible, they were all below "C" level.
The school cafeteria was silly. During the annual, thematic "History week" they served the hamburgers on Washingtonand Adams rolls. They came with little curly fry powdered wigs, and a Samuel Adams beer, were a revolutionary concept in food but were a bit tough on my constitution. I will say the "Declaration of Independence" placemats they used were a little over-the-top. Who signed off on those?

Will all the damn "dough they are taking in" you would think would hire and train a competent door person to keep the sidewalks clear. I am so frigging tired of having to dodge the tourists as I try to walk from CVS to the market next to the bakery.

Thank you, Buddy and the Valastro family, for bringing jobs to Hoboken and visitors to Hoboken and some fun to Hoboken.
I prefer the price and taste of the cannolis at Giorgios, but I do appreciate your desire to share your success with Hoboken.
