Bake-Off! 'Ace of Cakes' vs. 'Cake Boss'

I watch both, but I prefer Ace of Cakes. Cake Boss makes appealing cakes, but Duff and his staff are real artists. I just like the fact that the free hand draw nearly everything and the construction of their cakes are not butchered or messy.
If we're talking about entertaining wise, I think Buddy's show is funny, but I'm so tired of seeing this Jersey wave over the television screen.

Ace of Cakes they are world renowned, and more creative, and not cheesy. I want to chill with them

Cake boss is more realistic it is more open and lets u see wat goes on inside the bakery , their wedding cakes r amazing and luk delish + its more interesting 2 watch CB than ace of cakes i watched 1 episode nd got bored too chilled not enough drama relisism!

cake boss!!!! buddy valastro and his team at carlos bakery make cakes that are a billion times better!!! theyre bigger, more artistic and way more realistic and imaginative!!! CAKE BOSS one billion percent, cake boss...

ACE OF CAKES ALL THE WAAAAAAY !!! cake boss is so bad ;; Buddy is mean,obnoxious and untalented. His cakes are not that bad but still.. 0 creativity.

I really like Ace of Cake but than I started watching Cake Boss, I love it! In reality, that's how it is if you work with close friends and families. Buddy is an awesome guy! He may appeared mean in most episodes, but if you watched his first season from start to finish and read his book, it really show that he's a caring and loving guy. Ace of Cake is too boring, not enough zing to it.

I like both shows, but I think I would be disappointed if I ordered a cake, spent a nice chunk of money on it, and got alot of styrofoam or rice krispie treats instead of cake. I've noticed in alot of episodes that they could totally use cake to get the same result, but they've opted for styrofoam or rice krispie treats. Sorta like taking the easy way out I suppose. But, I guess as long as their customers like what they pay for, then all is well.

So i was reading most of the comments. Personally I'm in favor of Ace of Cakes. There is a lot of conflict in on cake boss. There were also comments about how they don't like how Duff uses "hard wear". What i personally think is that his designs are very complex and they need a lot of structural support. As for the Styrofoam, I'm pretty sure their using it for display fake cakes. I think of the guys at Charm City as artists and Carlos has pastry chefs.

talking skills when it comes to decorating somethin that is meant to look realistic, duff crew, hands down. when it comes to traditional cakes, like wedding cakes, then ill give it to buddy.

you dont get to see charm city cakes making traditional looking cakes much, rarely ever do they do it. ppl go to them for big project cakes, with very detailed work, thats what they specialize in. but then have done a few and they're great.

buddys crew, when they try to do somethin realistic, it always looks cartoon-ish, i dont know why. but their flowers and pipping work is flawsless.

when it comes to the show itself, theyre both funny in completely different ways. youve got a crazy italian family and you want to strangle the sisters and then theres a young group of ppl that just relax, hang out while makin cakes.

buddys a tough, cocky "dont mess around" kind of chef, while duff is more laid back, no confrontations required, kind of chef.

now, in cake boss, theyre not just makin cakes, theyre running a bakery, although they dont focus so much on that part of the story but its there, and youve gotta remember that so you understand why it can get so hectic. while at charm city, they just make cakes, no other worries but that, no wonder theyre no chill.
