Mia Familia

I was talking with my momma on Skype today, and she was giving me an update on the fam.

"Shane didn't think this was very cool, but he got a letter from Steven's Institute of Technology, or something like that... it's in Hoboken, New Jersey... it was about-"

"HOBOKEN?!?! Tell him to go to there. No matter what. He MUST go to this school. Doesn't he know that's where Carlo's Bakery is?!?!"

Carlo's Bakery is where they film my most beloved TV show, possibly ever.

Mmm, Cake Boss makes me happy. It's a reality TLC show with this Italian/New Jerseyian Baker who tries to be hardcore... but just isn't(those are my FAVORITE kind of people). Plus, they make some really delicious(sounding) and cool looking cakes. I think part of my affinity for this show stems from me discovering it right before I left for China, so it reminds me of happy-being-at-the-Carters times.

Basically, I think that Shane should go there, meet Buddy (the Boss) and get him to make me a specialty cake. I'm thinking "Devil’s Food Cake with Chocolate Mousse, a thin layer of Chocolate Ganache, and Fresh Raspberries or Fresh Strawberries", and it should be a representation of all things awesome. To embody our(mine and Matt's) awesomeness.

P.S. They sent Shane a letter about him possibly swimming for them. Too bad Shane is way too cool for Division 3.

I've never see the show but i hear it's good. I'll have to check it out sometime.

And Shane probably doesn't want to live in New Jersey. New Jersey is like the butt of all East Coast jokes. :)

I LOVE that show! They make the most awesome cakes! Too bad we don't have TLC anymore. :-(

Oh and ya... Phillip hates, hates, HATES New Jersey (really... don't get him started). So I agree with Olivia... it is definitely the butt of most jokes

Hooray for Cake Boss! Good times watching that show with you before you left! When you get back, we should take a trip there and get ourselves a cake that resembles all awesomeness (me!)

Kristal, I am not "Carlos the Cake Boss" I am not really the boss of anything, just ask the kids, no one really listenes to me but that is another story. I believe I can make said cake for you when you get home. And according to my imagination, it will be delicious. We have had my from scratch chocolate cake 2 times since Annie came home and that was just in the first 2 days. Oh I just realized we did make one on Thursday and another one in Friday...oops could explain why those magic chinese pills are not helping me loose any weight.
