Bucket List

The Mommies Reviews

I thought I would share two places I have added to my Bucket List which I would like to visit. The first place is a restaurant and the second place is a Bakery.

I would like to let you know one is a restaurant mare owned by Paula Deen and the other is a Bakery from the Cake Boss. Both of these are stars from TV shows I watch. David and Charlie know who they are and said they would go with me to try these businesses out.

At Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, guests will enjoy classic Deen family recipes in a unique family-style setting just like they do in their very own homes. We serve up endless portions of Southern-Style entrees and side dishes, and every visitor ends their meal with a dessert of their choice! Our restaurant brings friends and families together over a meal, while offering up a one-of-a-kind dining experience you’re sure to remember.

Good food is nothing without good people. The core of everything we do at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen begins with our staff who embody Southern Hospitality through and through.

And, just like our name suggests, we are a FAMILY. From our chefs who prepare Paula’s recipes to our wait staff and retail experts, everyone in our building knows what it means to make our guests feel at home. When you come see us, you’ll be greeted with a hearty “Hey Y’all!” and leave feeling as though you were just sitting around your grandma’s dinner table.

Paula Deen’s casual diner serves classic homestyle comfort food plates, plus Southern cocktails. Located in: Fairview Town Center Address: 163 Fountain Ct, Fairview, TX 75069 Menu: ilovepdfk.com

Carlos Bakery is the second place I would like to visit. When I do I would like to order a German Chocolate Cake and a Italian Cream Cake because I know no, ones would taste as good as Carlos Bakery.

Carlo's Bakery

CARLO’S BAKERY, FEATURED ON CAKE BOSS, IS KNOWN FOR OUR DELICIOUS PASTRIES, DESSERTS & CAKES

Carlo’s is a family owned bakery featured on the TLC hit show Cake Boss. Carlo’s, originally opened by Carlo Guastaffero in 1910, was acquired by Bartolo Valastro Sr. in 1964.

Since the untimely passing of Bartolo Sr. in 1994, matriarch Mary Valastro and her children Grace, Maddalena, Mary, Lisa and master baker Bartolo Jr. “Buddy” Valastro have expanded the business with the help of their spouses.

Because of the Valastro family’s dedication to quality and excellence, Carlo’s has received national recognition. Master Baker Bartolo Jr. “Buddy” has been featured in numerous publications, such as Modern Bride, and The Knot.

Buddy’s cake design was voted by the Today’s Show viewers as best cake in America. He has also appeared in many other media outlets, including multiple appearances on the Food Network, for his intricate sugar art designs specialty cakes and wedding cakes that look just as good as they taste.

Did you know you can order from Carlos Bakery and have the products delivered to your door? Don’t tell Charlie and David because they will tell me to do that and we wouldn’t have to go into the Bakery.

BUDDY VALASTRO

Buddy-Valastro-BIO-PHOTO-2.jpg

A fourth-generation baker born into the business owned & operated by his parents. Countless hours were spent in the bakery where his father, Buddy Sr., a master baker, taught Buddy everything about baking and running a business. They dreamed that together, they would make Carlo’s Bakery a household name.

In his 100,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility, Buddy and his staff whip up thousands of wedding cakes, specialty cakes and delicious Italian pastries. His award winning designs have been featured in countless bridal and baking magazines.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
