'Cake Boss' Bakery Closes Permanently In Burlington County

MARLTON, NJ — "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro's bakery in South Jersey has permanently closed.

Carlo's Bake Shop opened a decade ago in Marlton Square, expanding Valastro's baked-good business footprint as he starred on reality show "Cake Boss."

The location is now listed as permanently closed, and its website is no longer operational. It wasn't immediately clear when the Marlton shop ceased operations, as Carlo's Bakery hasn't formerly announced its closure.

Patch contacted Carlo's Bakery's flagship location in Hoboken for more information but didn't immediately receive a response.

Carlo's Bake Shop first opened its original Hoboken location in 1910. The bakery rose to fame a century later when "Cake Boss" aired on TLC, highlighting the shop's extravagant custom-made novelty cakes.

The company expanded throughout the 2010s, opening several locations throughout New Jersey and around the nation. But all Carlo's Bakery shops except the Hoboken store in New Jersey have since closed.

Carlo's Bakery now has eight locations, including two in Manhattan, according to its website. The company also has several refrigerated vending machines called "cake ATMs" — the closest to South Jersey are in Middlesex County and Wilmington, Delaware.
