New York City was treated to a sweet surprise this week with the official Grand Opening of the Cake Boss Cafe last week in New York’s Times Square.

Throughout the week, Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss himself, as well as family members, shared their passion for baking through events at the cafe. Our youngest Cake Boss fans enjoyed “How to fill a cannoli” and “How to decorate a cupcake” classes with Carlo’s Bakery’s Head Baker, Christina Nasso, while singing bakers serenaded street crowds and passed out special VIP passes.

The week culminated on Friday with the Grand Opening of the Cake Boss Cafe, a public party hosted by Buddy, featuring trivia, live entertainment, and of course, plenty of sweet treats! Check out some photos of the week’s fun below.
