Ah, the wedding cake. The highlight of most any wedding reception, the cake is also one of the weddings’ oldest and most symbolic traditions. It’s said to bring good luck to all who partake of it. Its quality ingredients symbolize long-lasting, rich, and happy unions, and even the bride’s first slice is said to bring good fortune to the marriage.
With so much meaning baked right into it, some people pay more attention to this single detail of their big day than any other. The location, the menu, even the guest list often receive less scrutiny than the cake does. So if you’re among those who choose to put your wedding cake on a pedestal, so to speak, it’s hard to go wrong with so many outstanding and creative artisans around town—folks who know how to elevate pastry to the level of art and who can help make your wedding cake the second most jaw-dropping part of your wedding (after the bride of course!).
“Cake technology” has come a long way just in the last few years—to say nothing of the hundreds of years of tradition and evolution they’ve already come through. Intricately themed cakes, multitiered cakes, even reflective cakes, are all the rage today. And you’ll find no more stunning examples than at Carlo’s Bakery, home to master chef and star of TLC’s hit show, Cake Boss, Buddy V. In addition to some of the most unique wedding cakes you’ll ever see, Carlo’s is also home to a ridiculously mouthwatering lineup of pastries, desserts, and cakes.
Long before television fame came calling, Buddy V and Carlo’s Bakery were crafting artworks that also happened to be fully edible cakes for discerning clientele for years. Visit their cake gallery and see an array of cakes so profoundly unique and gorgeous, they’re sure to stimulate your artistic sensibilities as much as they do your sweet tooth. We’re talking cakes so stunning that you’ll feel guilty cutting into them, so just make sure you get plenty of pictures first. Buddy V and the cake crafters at Carlo’s Bakery truly demonstrate how “tasty” and “tasteful” can combine to create the one-of-a-kind wedding cake you never even dared to dream of.
