The bio part of the book was very interesting and amazingly readable - it was hard to put down. I didn't try any of the recipes, though, because 1) they all seemed too labor-intensive (What? Rolling pin? You must be joking.) and I read in the amazon.com forums that ALL the recipes came out terribly, that they were either scaled down incorrectly and not tested or deliberately printed incorrectly to preserve the bakery's secrets. I really like watching Cake Boss on TLC and was glad that I loved the book just as much! It was wonderfully written and nice to hear about the values of Carlo's Bakery and the stories of the bakers from Italy coming to America. It truly is a family operation. It can't be easy, I don't think I could work that closely with my family all day everyday! They seem to really love what they do though and it was nice to hear that it wasn't "just for the cameras."
Really basic...not quite what you'd expect from Buddy!
