My Sister Marie-Josee

With a 9-year old and a 7-year old, it’s oftentimes difficult for my sister to find television shows she can enjoy with her daughters. A program her whole family can agree on is Cake Boss, featuring Buddy Valastro. As a resident of The Garden State, I get a kick out of my family in Quebec being avid fans of a show taped in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Since I drive to Quebec for Christmas each year, I typically make my sister a special birthday cake and bring it with me as her birthday is December 21^st. This year, I’d seen Cake Boss cakes at Super Shop & Shop and decided to bring (smuggle) one with me to surprise her.

Can you tell I made her day? Yes. Think I’ll be able to skip a visit to Carlo’s Bakery next time my sister and her family come visit? Not a chance and I look forward to it.
