Cake Boss Season Two Premiere Party

Last night, I was lucky enough to go to a media event celebrating the second season of TLC's Cake Boss starring Buddy Valastro at Destino Restaurant in NYC. Season two premieres on Monday, Oct. 26 and the cakes promise to be grander and greater than the ones done in season one. There will be hijinks, of course, courtesy of the bakery crew and Buddy's family. I can't give it all away, but season two involves a proposal, flour on a rooftop, and a new little baker in the kitchen who totally steals the show.

Here is Buddy's thank you to everyone. More cupcake decorating videos to come soon!

To celebrate the new season, I want you all to have Cake Boss Season Two Premiere parties! I am giving away an official Cake Boss pint glass and $20 off dinner at Destino to the best Cake Boss premiere party. Just email me your photos of your party or post them in the comments and I will ask Buddy to pick the best party pic.

Dining Deals: Zylo happy hour

Despite what you think, Hoboken is only about 10 minutes away. It is actually closer than most swank BK neighborhoods but without all the stroller traffic. Invoke your inner explorer and hop on a path train. While your there, stop by Carlo's Bakery for some amazing pastries, but before that, enjoy happy hour specials at new Italian steakhouse Zylo.
