"Carlo's Bakery" Carly Banal

For my vacation, my family went to New Jersey to go to the beach. My mom surprised us with a trip to my favortie T.V. show Cake Boss, or Carlo's Bakery. It was founded in 1910! The founder was Carlo Guastaffero. The shop is located in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The small shop was red with a red and white striped awning. The letters on the awning were gold and read "Carlo's Since 1910 City Hall Bake Shop." There were beautiful decorated cakes in the window. Getting in there though, was not easy. There was a huge line that stretched all the way around the corner!

It was not fun waiting in line, but we did meet many new people. We waited in line for an hour and a half! It was so hot and sunny. The sun was beating down us so badly, we actually had to go across the street and buy an umbrella and sun screen.

Once we finally got inside, the store was crowded with many people, but we took a number and waited. The bakery smelled like all different types of pasteries such as cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and cannolis. Their cakes are very expensive so we bought cookies, cupcakes, and cannolis. They make huge cakes. They make them for any party, wedding, or any occasion.

At the end of the day, we all had fun. My sisters and I all got t-shirts from there. It was the best vacation ever! I can't wait to go back!
