The Real Reason Cake Boss Is No Longer On TLC

A horrific accident. A tragic loss. The massive programming change. Starting in 2009, the hit TLC show "Cake Boss" turned star baker Buddy Valastro into a reality TV icon. So why did "Cake Boss" leave TLC? The answer is heartbreaking.

What did you think of "Cake Boss"?

[angie]

I used to love watching Cake Boss on TLC. Every employee had their own talent, wether it was baking the sponges, decorating, or washing pans, Team work makes the Dream work! I’m in the Uk. I wish Buddy and all his family nothing but the best in their future.

Regardless of what people think I loved watching him ice and decorating cakes.

Buddy's bakery was good years ago when he primarily had Italian pastries and bread, but his cakes were never really fresh, because he never sold enough cakes to get fast turnover. It was because of the hype of the show, people from the NYC area would pay for the extremely overpriced cakes. He seems like a good family guy, I wish him well, but his cakes are not worth the high price. Go to a regular bakery, you'll get a fresher nicer cake for a much lower price.

I used to watch Buddy vs Duff until my husband pointed out to me that every time Buddy lost he would have a temper tantrum yelling at the director, producers and he did this every time he lost, such a crybaby 😂😂😂😂

All I can say is that.If I was on a TV show.And I lost both of my parents.I’d definitely stop filming for a while.

I really liked Cake Boss until I watched, Buddy vs Duff. My thoughts totally changed about Buddy because he’s such a sore loser and a big baby.

It doesn’t really matter what TV network a show is. As viewers, we hardly remember the network! But, we watch the show … wherever it is!!! So, The Cake Boss and his shows can go anywhere, and he will be watched!

I loved watching the show and the family. Very talented man and a lot of his family and co workers🎂

LOVED the show! I think 2 things caused a great downfall. It seems when he built the big 'factory' to help with cakes, quality suffered for quantity. He kept wanting to go bigger and 'better' and it didn't work. The bigger the cakes got, the worse they looked. The shows with just the original Carlos Bakery cakes and pastries were the BEST! Second, I lost most of my respect for him when I watched Buddy vs Duff. His reaction to losing made me sick. I kept watching following seasons because I enjoyed the show, but it was obvious when he lost that he had a hard time controlling his outrage! You could see he so badly wanted to have a fit again and had to work HARD to keep control! I'm sure he was forewarned at EVERY judging. I still have those early years of Cake Boss in my heart and give the whole family my condolences and best wishes.

Because of Buddy, I am able to do what I do today, Thank you Sir! Making Cakes ☺️

His decorating staff is amazing! He knows his stuff. At the same time, because the bulk of the baked goods are made in Hoboken and shipped, you're not always getting the freshest stuff. I tried a couple of items from the Carlo's near where my mother lives. The crumb cake was okay; the lobster tail was amazing.

I find it amusing to watch him and Duff Goldman go at it. Believe it or not, Duff is the older of the two! Duff went through traditional channels to learn his craft, going to cooking school and such. Buddy learned his craft on the job. I think Buddy looks older because he's been through so much stress, and because he's much more of a Type A personality than Duff.

Buddy you'r a great artist in making cakes etc. So sorry about your accident. I pray for you to get going agai

[jeanettedellicarpini]

I love the family. Hard workers and there for each other.

In my opinion, Buddy got "too big for his britches." He seems to have a big ego and the attitude that goes with it. He is enamored with himself and his abilities. When his show started I loved watching it and his creativity, but as time passed not so much. The last straw for me was during the first season of "Buddy vs Duff." He was so demeaning and arrogant towards Duff. I still can't get over the temper tantrum Buddy threw when he lost to Duff.
