But after one too many instances where her mouth got her into trouble, Buddy had little choice but to pull his sister Mary aside and confront her. And, of course, things wound up in a shouting match. Buddy made it clear that so long as he was alive, Mary would never ever manage Carlo's Bakery. Her departure created an odd atmosphere for the rest of the staff. While no one could deny that things were almost immediately more calm and peaceful, her absence nevertheless left a strange void.
But his decision is certainly one that some fans have been clamoring for for a long time, some as far back as the first season of the show.
The story continues, minus Mary on staff, as "Cake Boss" continues Mondays at 9 p. The show has left a lasting impact on popular culture; Cake Boss is still one of TLC's highest-rated shows now with multiple spin-offs and product lines , and the popularity of the series has increased tourism in the city of Hoboken, New Jersey exponentially.
However, not all is as it seems at Carlo's Bakery. Superficially everything looks like it's fine and dandy The Valastro family seems to be a close and happy one, the customers are always over the moon about their finished products, and business is always booming at the pastry shop that has been around for over one hundred years.
What the cameras don't show you are the behind-the-scenes scuffles and secrets that the people over at TLC want to keep hidden from the public.
Legal issues, controversies, family drama, and a little bit of reality TV fakery are no stranger to the world of Cake Boss. The star of the show, Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro, is known for his boorish yet charming demeanor.
Even though he acts all rough and tough on the outside, deep down you can tell that he's a great guy with a soft spot for his family and a good sense of humor. Buddy has been running Carlo's Bakery since his father's unexpected and tragic passing in , and has acted as a model citizen as well as a role model to the people who watch his show.
At around 1 a. Allegedly, Buddy tried to talk his way out of the arrest by claiming that he couldn't be arrested because "[he] is the cake boss. After spending a night in jail Valastro was released.
However, Buddy was quick to apologize and take responsibility for the incident. Anyone who watches Cake Boss will be familiar with his sisters. The women of the Valastro family tend to add a little bit of flair to the show by creating drama around the bakery and coming up with funny pranks to pull on Buddy and his employees.
Mary Valastro now Mary Sciarrone is the only member of the Valastro family to not have their significant other involved with Carlo's Bakery in some way, shape, or form. This particular sister is known for her fiery temper and her habit of saying whatever comes to her mind without any filter. This got Mary in trouble during the middle of Cake Boss ' fifth season, when she wouldn't stop making rude comments to the rest of the employees.
Buddy pulled her off to the side and told her to knock it off, which resulted in the two getting into a shouting match and Buddy firing her from the bakery as well as the show.
Though Mary returned to Carlo's Bakery just a few episodes later, Buddy stands by his claim that in that moment he truly never wanted to see her face in his cake shop again.
The entire concept of Cake Boss consists of Buddy and his crew surprising their customers with creative and artistic pastries that they have no idea are coming.
At the beginning of an episode, a customer will come to Buddy and present him with a unique cake request for their special occasion. Though they have a general idea of what they want it to look like, they almost always walk away, leaving the final design to Buddy's discretion. Like clockwork, they are always pleased with the final product that the bakery comes up with. This may make for good TV , but in reality, the customers that appear on Cake Boss go into their meeting knowing darn well what they're going to get.
Think about it: why on Earth would you go to a meeting with a baker in full TV makeup? Just about every person who walks through the door at Carlo's Bakery has already talked to the consultants about their cake because, let's face it: when you're going to be paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a cake, you're going to get exactly what you want!
Well, maybe he was more of a Bat-Mite than a Robin, but the point still stands; Anthony was the character on the show who was portrayed as a wide-eyed young man who made a bunch of mistakes but who always meant well. This was why it was such a shock when, in the show's tenth season, Anthony quit his job at Carlo's without so much as a warning.
In , in the aftermath of the horrific Boston Marathon Bombings, Cousin Anthony sent out a tweet that many considered to be based in bigotry. He claimed that America should stop " Things didn't get better when Cousin Anthony started confronting his critics. Ever since his father's tragic death in , Buddy and his mother Mary have been extremely close. As an immigrant from Italy, Mary and her husband came over to America and started working in the very same bakery that the show takes place in today.
Though she retired from the bake shop only a season or two into the show, Mary was always showing up to check in on Buddy and the rest of the family. In , the Valastro family was blindsided when she received a diagnosis of ALS a nervous system disease that degenerates muscle function. Even though the family struggled with complications that came along with the horrible illness, Mary continued to keep in good spirits and appeared on the show as often as she could. Sadly, in June of Mary Valastro passed away from complications related to her ailment.
In memory of the beloved matriarch, the employees of Carlo's Bake Shop set up an eloquent flower display that stood outside of the establishment. People noted that the reality star baker has been "easing back into his responsibilities" after the Valastro family closed every single one of their bakeries on June 24 in memory of the late Mary.
The Cake Boss patriarch then confirmed that the blanket closure — which is extremely rare for the bakery franchise - was also so the family and their employees could lay Mary to rest in an emotional ceremony in Jersey City.
Marking what's thought to be the last time the baker was in Hoboken, Buddy shared a photo of the outside of the family's iconic bakery with his more than two million Instagram followers on June 24 as they prepared for Mama Mary's funeral. The image showed the words " 1 Grandma" and "Mama Mary" spelled out in flowers outside the Carlo's Bakery shop front while a replica of the Cake Boss bakery windows and door was also made into a floral arraignment in memory of the mother of five.
The Cake Boss baker has stayed silent on social media ever since as he continues to mourn, only posting an image of himself and his sister, Grace, who also appears in the series, on June 30 in celebration of her birthday.
I love you.
