Coming off an autumn return to television, Buddy ‘Cake Boss’ Valastro isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In fact, he’s coming in hot out of the oven with a brand new, 1,200 square foot flagship Carlo’s Bake Shop right in the heart of Times Square at 1500 Broadway. The new location is a sweet glimpse into the future of the historic Hoboken bakery with whimsical elements combined with the old-school tastes and charm of the popular bake shop. Carlo’s Bake Shop Broadway is now open seven days a week 7 a.m.-12 a.m.

I used to watch Cake Boss with my daughter and I presume that many people between 20 and 25 years old watched it as well! His 38th and new location on Times Square will probably be a popular site to visit for tourists!  ^Marjolein
