Cake Boss is like a family type, crazy, New Jersey style. Ace of Cakes is more just friends, no shops, no pastries, big big cakes.
More than 100 volunteers from Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte, N.C., and Retail Bakers of America (RBA) member bakeries contributed their time and skills to help Buddy Valastro, Jr. of Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, N.J. and television's Cake Boss (TLC network) create a life-sized replica of a stock race car using nothing but cake, crispy rice treats and fondant. The finished cake weighed about 20,000 lbs. and cost $20,000 in mostly donated materials. A remarkable 2,400 half sheet cakes were used. Read this story on the link below.
Reality show takes the cake with personality-packed bakery Cake Boss chronicles the escapades of Valastro and his colorful Italian family with their New Jersey accents and attitude - including his four sisters, three brothers-in-law, his mother, an aunt, his wife and a few cousins - while they go about their business each week making 50 to 60 wedding cakes, 300 to 600 birthday cakes, 2,000 cupcakes, thousands of pastries (cannoli, lobster tails, biscotti, éclairs) and several complex, intricately designed cakes. So far this season, they've whipped up a 400-pound cake to look like a 20-ton extinct mammal, an elaborate toy scene with huge toy soldiers, and a large wedding cake with real white doves encased in a cage between two tiers of the cake. (Eleven previous episodes are airing Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. Two new episodes air at 10 p.m. Aug. 10 and 17.) • Cost of the cakes. "Our cakes start at $1,000. That's the minimum order. It's rare that one of our cakes is more than $2,500. We make 12 to 15 cakes a week, and they are super fresh." • The dynamics of his staff. "People are really having that much fun. They are laughing and goofing around and dressing up in weird costumes. We are all artists, musicians, poets. Kitchens are crazy, crazy places. Some people who watch the show say they want to work there. They want to hang out with those guys. We probably get a thousand resumes a week."
I heard they are more than 1000 dollars..... That's probably the minimumwell depends on the size and if it is layered etc. but average is about 600.00 to like 1200.00

better than ... what ?
watch cake boss! Way better than ace of cakes!
Almost any cake can be iced using fondant, but some cakes work better than others. Firmer cakes (white, yellow, chocolate, vanilla, bundt, devil's food, etc.) work better with fondant than soft or delicate cakes (angelfood, for example).
There are many types of traditional cakes. For holidays, there are Christmas and Easter cakes. Wedding cakes and birthday cakes are also tradtional, too.
A cake tester does not work any better than a toothpick for testing cakes. About the only advantages to using a cake tester is that it may have other uses around the kitchen and you can wipe it off and re-use it whereas a toothpick stuck into a cake that is not done tends to hold onto batter necessitating another toothpick for the next testing.
Usually, mud cakes are a lot richer than regular chocolate cakes and much denser (heavier). And in my opinion, YUMMIER!
Then it is NOT cake. (Pie is better than cake)
There are flourless cakes. They are denser than regular cake but can be eaten by those that have gluten problems. They use more egg than regular cake.
Yes. They are much much better than cake
Cookies are better than cake in several ways: they can be stored and transported easily; they are baked in individual portions and do not need to be divided; they can be eaten by hand with no mess; they remain fresh longer.
It's not.
No. The eggs don't make cakes rise. It is the baking powder in the cake flour.
Cake designers work to decorate cakes. They ice them, decorate them, fill them, stack them, prepare them, and put the finishing touches on a cake so that it is unique and different than just a plain cake would be.
