Cake Boss! An amazing show! Baking cool cakes, crazy designs, and tons of laughter! Nothing beets Cake Boss to me! If you have not watched this show yet you definitely should watch it! If you don't like it then I don't know what to say, I guess you are not interested in that stuff like I am. But if you are interested in this stuff you should definitely at least watch one episode to see if you like the show! To me Cake Boss is amazing!
