The giant photo of Buddy Valastro at the front of the King Soopers store in southeast Denver and the employee offering free samples could only mean one thing: the line of “Cake Boss” cakes has made it to town.
Valastro, the “Cake Boss” on the TLC reality show of the same name, announced plans earlier this year to go the retail route and sell some of his creations beyond the doors of his family-run bakery in Hoboken, N.J.
Carlo's Bakery, which escaped damage from Hurricane Sandy although it was forced to shut down for lack of power, has become a tourist attraction since TLC aired the first episode of “Cake Boss” in 2009. Valastro and his crew have been turning out elaborate cakes on television for five seasons so far.
