List of Cake Boss episodes

Cake Boss is an American reality television series, airing on the cable television network TLC. The series is set at Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey and stars Buddy Valastro, the shop's owner, his retired mother, four older sisters, and two brothers-in-law in their everyday life of running a bakery store.

Cake Boss premiered on April 19, 2009. As of November 17, 2015^[update], a total of 186 episodes and 5 stand-alone specials have been broadcast. The first three seasons, along with the first half of season 4, have been released on DVD in Region 1. Up until halfway into the fifth season, each episode title employed alliteration.

In this one hour special, Buddy and his crew travel to a trade show in Charlotte, North Carolina to make a life-sized NASCAR race car made out of cake for NASCAR car owner and famed football coach Joe Gibbs; the cake is bound to take the record for the largest cake in the world – or collapse completely. Meanwhile, back in Hoboken, Mauro assumes the leadership of the bakery, and supervises construction of a cake for a fashion party; however, the ladies, especially Grace, have better ideas on how to make that cake.

Buddy makes a life-size replica of his wife for her 30th birthday, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie asks for a cake, arranged by New Jersey Devils owner Jeffrey Vanderbeek. Buddy's mother retires. Buddy announces an Employee of the Month contest – which he wins. (In addition to its regular version, this episode was also broadcast as a special Icing on the Cake episode, featuring special facts about the family, shop and baked goods, done in the same style as Pop-Up Video and Pawn Stars.)
