1:49
Speaker 3: Well, my our parents started it, you know, when they
1:52
Speaker 3: came here. My dad worked in different two different bakeries
1:56
Speaker 3: and then came to Carlo's Bakery and the owner Oarlo
2:00
Speaker 3: Augusta Farrow, had wanted to retire, he had a son.
2:04
Speaker 3: His son really didn't want to take part in the
2:07
Speaker 3: big in the business, so he said, you take over
2:10
Speaker 3: the business. I'll hold the loan for you. And my
2:14
Speaker 3: mom came in as a salesperson working in the front,
2:17
Speaker 3: and he kind of had his eye on her and
2:20
Speaker 3: he said, I'm going to marry you. We'll take over.
2:23
Speaker 3: And that's really exactly what had happened. And they got
2:27
Speaker 3: married and she ran the front, he ran the back,
2:30
Speaker 3: and it was kind of like a perfect little setup,
2:32
Speaker 3: and that's really what happened. And they got married, had
2:36
Speaker 3: you know, five kids, and we were just kind of
2:39
Speaker 3: born in there. And I remember being a little kid,
2:41
Speaker 3: you know, all of us we used to play like
2:43
Speaker 3: on the big fifty pound flower sacks and we that's
2:47
Speaker 3: all we knew. That was our life. We were in
2:49
Speaker 3: the bakery. We lived upstairs in the apartment, you know,
2:53
Speaker 3: and it was just the bakery was such a big
2:56
Speaker 3: part of our lives and it just it was a
2:59
Speaker 3: lot of hard work. You know, we were very hard
3:02
Speaker 3: working people and dedicated and grew it into this big
3:06
Speaker 3: empire that it is today.
3:08
Speaker 1: Beautiful, just such a great story.
3:10
Speaker 3: It's kind of amazing and how it's taken to another
3:14
Speaker 3: Like you know, when we were on the TV show,
3:17
Speaker 3: it was just so surreal because it was you know,
3:20
Speaker 3: people would stop us and you really couldn't go anywhere,
3:22
Speaker 3: and constant pictures and even at work, i mean lines
3:26
Speaker 3: for hours to get into the store. And it was
3:29
Speaker 3: just surreal because okay, my brother makes these amazing cakes.
3:33
Speaker 3: Because we me and the sisters kind of just ran
3:35
Speaker 3: the front and you know, the brother in laws and
3:38
Speaker 3: all the workers because everyone's like family that works here,
3:41
Speaker 3: so everyone in the back working and we were running
3:44
Speaker 3: the front and it was just like crazy and it's like, okay,
3:48
Speaker 3: you want to take a picture or like sign autographs
3:51
Speaker 3: because my brother makes these amazing cakes. It was it
3:54
Speaker 3: was just like so surreal, and our kids were younger
3:57
Speaker 3: and all the other kids, like our nephew and nieces
4:01
Speaker 3: are like our own kids, and it was just crazy.
4:04
Speaker 3: And how it got started with someone had sent a video.
4:07
Speaker 3: My brother used to do these challenges and someone had
4:10
Speaker 3: sent a video in and said, oh, I wanted a
4:13
Speaker 3: TV show and he happened to be on it. And
4:16
Speaker 3: they're like, well we want we don't want you, We
4:18
Speaker 3: want him because he had such you know, personality, and
4:22
Speaker 3: that's kind of how it was.
4:24
Speaker 1: As my son calls it riz.
4:27
Speaker 3: Exactly, you know, and that's that's really how it all happens.
4:31
Speaker 3: And then undercover people used to come in and watch us.
4:34
Speaker 3: And he came to us and he's like, oh, we're
4:37
Speaker 3: gonna do a TV show. I go us like why,
4:40
Speaker 3: He's like, you girls, you guys are crazy. I'm like
4:42
Speaker 3: we're crazy. I'm like we're just like family, like this
4:45
Speaker 3: is us and people are interested and it was just
4:49
Speaker 3: easy and how interested people were on our lives and
4:52
Speaker 3: it just blew up and it was just an amazing ride.
4:55
Speaker 3: It was just great.
4:57
Speaker 4: So tell us a little bit about some of these
5:00
Speaker 4: disagreements they come up, right, I mean, it's always going
5:02
Speaker 4: to come up in the kitchen and something's going to happen.
5:04
Speaker 1: So tell us about one that is very memorable, memorable.
5:09
Speaker 3: What can I tell you about? Well, I want since
5:11
Speaker 3: you tell one.
5:12
Speaker 2: Okay, So I work full time now at the bakery myself.
5:15
Speaker 2: I graduated college last year, said, I'm here full time
5:18
Speaker 2: and I work in the stores.
5:19
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of.
5:20
Speaker 2: Our family arguments didn't make it to the TV screen.
5:23
Speaker 5: You didn't get to see them. Yeah, we fight hard,
5:26
Speaker 5: but we love hard.
5:27
Speaker 2: By my most probably the most memorable one I would
5:29
Speaker 2: have to say was probably with me when I was
5:31
Speaker 2: very young.
5:33
Speaker 5: I was always I was always a buster.
5:34
Speaker 2: I was always in the back trying to mix things
5:36
Speaker 2: up and keep everyone on their toes.
5:38
Speaker 5: And I had actually hidden.
5:40
Speaker 2: Components of this huge bowling cake that they were actually creating,
5:44
Speaker 2: and the camera crew actually had no idea. So everyone's
5:47
Speaker 2: going crazy in the back, like where is this? Like
5:50
Speaker 2: my uncle's screaming at production, are you guys messing with me?
5:52
Speaker 2: And then everyone's yelling at me because they see me
5:54
Speaker 2: in the back laughing, and my uncle Buddy's lines of
5:57
Speaker 2: all the employees and it's like, guys, if you're messing
5:59
Speaker 2: with me to tell me where it is. When I
6:01
Speaker 2: finally came out and said that it was me that
6:03
Speaker 2: I had them when I had.
6:04
Speaker 5: Stored them in the back.
6:05
Speaker 4: But that's just one of the many that have come
6:07
Speaker 4: to mind. All right, So at Carlos, you make cakes,
6:12
Speaker 4: of course, canolas, cookies, pizza. Can you share a couple
6:15
Speaker 4: of personal favorites with us?
6:17
Speaker 1: Mary, what's your favorite?
6:20
Speaker 3: I really always say I was born into the right
6:22
Speaker 3: family because I would rather eat cake than food. Honestly,
6:27
Speaker 3: I am a dessert person all in all. I mean,
6:31
Speaker 3: one of my favorite things at the bakery. Honestly and truly,
6:35
Speaker 3: I have to say, I do like we make amazing
6:37
Speaker 3: like chocolate chip cookies, and like all different ones. I
6:41
Speaker 3: like the sugar ones. I like the Naker doodle. I'm
6:43
Speaker 3: a big cookie person. I love our chocolate dip strawberries.
6:47
Speaker 3: Those are excellent. I mean I love our lobster tails.
6:52
Speaker 3: I mean the canolis. I mean I like them, but
6:55
Speaker 3: I'm not like that's not one thing that I'm going
6:57
Speaker 3: to go for. So I love our cake slices, like
7:00
Speaker 3: now we're just making a new one. Cookies and cream.
7:03
Speaker 3: I think that one's great. I mean, I like the
7:05
Speaker 3: strawberry shortcake one. I just kind of move on from
7:08
Speaker 3: one thing to the next because there's such a big variety.
7:12
Speaker 3: I love our pockets. We make these pockets. I like
7:15
Speaker 3: the crembroulet or the hazel nut. The apple one would
7:18
Speaker 3: be my least favorite, but you know those are the
7:20
Speaker 3: other things. You know, when I go in, I'll either
7:23
Speaker 3: grab an egg sandwich first, or just like a plain
7:25
Speaker 3: croissant or a choco croissant, I mean Danish. There's so
7:28
Speaker 3: many things. But honestly, I can tell you without fail.
7:32
Speaker 3: I can tell you that I eat at least four
7:35
Speaker 3: different desserts today. And I'm not even kidding, not even kidding.
7:39
Speaker 3: And now when we're done here, swear to God, I'm
7:43
Speaker 3: going for cake tasting because we have a whole new
7:46
Speaker 3: line of cakes and we're doing all cake tasting and
7:49
Speaker 3: now they're setting it up for me. I'm gonna taste
7:53
Speaker 3: like twelve different desserts.
7:54
Speaker 4: And that's the well, No, it's the joy of what
7:58
Speaker 4: I do too.
7:58
Speaker 1: With my coffee companies. I get to through the coffee
8:00
Speaker 1: tastings and I love that part.
8:02
Speaker 4: Let me ask you that here's a technical question, right,
8:05
Speaker 4: I want to know how you solve the shelf life issue,
8:08
Speaker 4: the refrigeration issue when you're shipping across the country.
8:13
Speaker 2: So a lot of a lot of our stuff. We
8:15
Speaker 2: have a great partnership with Dawn Foods. They store and
8:18
Speaker 2: distribute a lot of our food for us. We produce
8:22
Speaker 2: everything here at our factory here in Jersey City, at
8:25
Speaker 2: our warehouse. This is where all of our offices are based.
8:28
Speaker 2: And then they kind of store and help and then
8:30
Speaker 2: our stores purchase this stuff directly from Dawn Foods.
8:33
Speaker 1: Are they in Jersey City?
8:34
Speaker 5: They have?
8:35
Speaker 2: Dawn Foods is a major corporation. They have warehouses and
8:38
Speaker 2: stuff all over the country.
8:40
Speaker 4: Okay, so it stays, they stay, it stays fresh. They
8:44
Speaker 4: what they flash freeze it or something, and then they
8:46
Speaker 4: ship it.
8:47
Speaker 2: When they need to factory, everything is instantly flash frozen.
8:50
Speaker 2: We have nitrogen tunnels that basically lead almost throughout our
8:53
Speaker 2: whole entire factory.
8:54
Speaker 5: These are massive tunnels.
8:56
Speaker 3: If you ever in your New Jersey you should actually
8:58
Speaker 3: stop by. You would be really amazed as at what
9:02
Speaker 3: goes on in the factory. But my brother just passed by.
9:06
Speaker 3: He was waving to us.
9:10
Speaker 5: Yes, so hard to come up.
9:12
Speaker 2: That was our biggest issue with scaling was was making
9:15
Speaker 2: sure that we were able to preserve our freshness and.
9:17
Speaker 1: Getting yeah, huge issue, huge.
9:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just amazing the factory and and and we
9:24
Speaker 3: make that's coming out soon too, a delicious pizza. It's
9:28
Speaker 3: a frozen pizza, but if you ever tasted it, it's
9:31
Speaker 3: it doesn't even taste like frozen. It tastes like fresh,
9:34
Speaker 3: I mean pizza. It's just it's just out of this world.
9:38
Speaker 3: We just got this pizza thing that like from Italy,
9:42

Speaker 4: But what's the absolute best part about being in a
10:49
Speaker 4: bakery where it's all family? I mean this, this this
10:51
Speaker 4: question answers itself.
10:53
Speaker 2: Whether our kids are like my best friends and brother
10:57
Speaker 2: and sisters. We all work here together, like side by side.
11:01
Speaker 2: My direct boss is my aunt Mary's other sister, my Grace,
11:05

11:11
Speaker 2: We have from everybody, there's a family member in every department.
11:15
Speaker 5: There's a family member in every department. There's at least
11:17
Speaker 5: ten or fifteen of us here.
11:19
Speaker 3: And even if we do disagree, which we do like like, well,
11:23
Speaker 3: we get over very quickly. There's no point in holding
11:26
Speaker 3: a grudge, like we say we have to do, and
11:27
Speaker 3: we definitely move on. I mean, you know, but we
11:30
Speaker 3: for the most part, like we really do get along,
11:34
Speaker 3: like on the weekends we're at each other's house. Is
11:36
Speaker 3: like we go on vacation together. We all together all
11:39
Speaker 3: the time, like honestly and truly, like where.
11:41
Speaker 5: We all live five minutes away from me, we really do.
11:44
Speaker 3: We live in the same town. We like, we eat together,
11:47
Speaker 3: we hang out together, we do everything together. My husband
11:50
Speaker 3: will be like, let me guess you're on the phone
11:52
Speaker 3: with your sister, or like, don't be jealous, you know.
11:57
Speaker 1: I want to know. That's what I'm I don't know
12:00
Speaker 1: when the cameras are off.
12:03
Speaker 4: His buddy's still really the boss or you get the
12:05
Speaker 4: boss him around a little bit.
12:06
Speaker 3: Listen, Buddy, Buddy right now is definitely the leader, like
12:11
Speaker 3: you know, but I wouldn't want to be Buddy. Buddy
12:13
Speaker 3: has to be in charge of all of this. Like
12:15
Speaker 3: I couldn't do what Buddy does. But like, okay, perfect example,
12:19
Speaker 3: my daughter is I have twins, and my both twins
12:22
Speaker 3: are in college. They're juniors. So I just said to Buddy, like, Buddy,
12:26
Speaker 3: you know he has an extra car or so so
12:29
Speaker 3: I'm like, Buddy, my daughter's coming home from college, Like
12:31
Speaker 3: I need one of your cars. He's like, no problem,
12:34
Speaker 3: I'll just like one car was given back eye drive stick.
12:36
Speaker 3: He's like, just call up Nikki show like extend the least,
12:39
Speaker 3: Like whatever you want from Buddy, like he just does.
12:43
Speaker 3: Like Buddy's very accommodating. Buddy's not like whatever anyone from
12:47
Speaker 3: the family needs from Buddy, it's done. Like like whatever
12:52
Speaker 3: you want, you get from Buddy. Buddy's like a very
12:54
Speaker 3: soft guy like Buddy, like you know, it's sometimes he
12:57
Speaker 3: seems like he's hard, but he's very but he's a
13:00
Speaker 3: good hearted guy. He would do anything even for anybody,
13:04
Speaker 3: Like Buddy's a good guy. Like he's not listen, if
13:07
Speaker 3: Buddy has to be like firm, of course he has
13:10
Speaker 3: to be firm, but he would do anything for anyone.
13:12
Speaker 3: He's a good hearted guy. He's the leader of the family, yes,
13:16
Speaker 3: but he he's would do anything for you too.
13:20
Speaker 5: He's the boss.
13:21
Speaker 2: He's the boss hey when it is when it comes
13:25
Speaker 2: to being here, he is.
13:26
Speaker 5: He's very hands on with the business side.
13:28
Speaker 2: But my aunts have that creative input and that outlet
13:31
Speaker 2: in the stores. There's nobody who's done the amount of
13:34
Speaker 2: working at the counter from when they were twelve years
13:36
Speaker 2: old to this day. Behind it, there's nobody who knows
13:38
Speaker 2: more about what the consumer wants, yes and needs than
13:41
Speaker 2: my aunts when we ran the fun he ran the
13:43
Speaker 2: back for years. My aunts there, they do the showcase designs.
13:47
Speaker 2: They do so much of the stuff inside of the stores.
13:50
Speaker 2: It's actually it's quite remarkable. And again without really a
13:53
Speaker 2: formal education from growing up, from just being in the
13:56
Speaker 2: bakery from a young age, my aunts can walk into
13:58
Speaker 2: a bakery and immediately take that shirt down, move that
14:01
Speaker 2: pan over there, you know, put it sideways happily.
14:04
Speaker 5: On a pan.
14:04
Speaker 1: Right. It's not about that. It's about just getting up
14:07
Speaker 1: in the morning and grinding every day, you know. That's
14:11
Speaker 1: what it's about.
14:12
Speaker 3: His wife is here in the building. She works here
14:15
Speaker 3: in the business. So so everyone in the family has
14:17
Speaker 3: a part of the building, like me and my sisters.
14:21
Speaker 3: My one sister is here full time and she's strictly business.
14:24
Speaker 3: She's that's his boss.
14:27

Speaker 3: more playful. We stop in and like, we're like more joyful.
14:36
Speaker 3: We'll like, oh, good morning, We'll come in and just
14:39
Speaker 3: really hang out. But we run the Hoboken Dekery. So
14:42
Speaker 3: the three of us together will stop it and Hoboken
14:45
Speaker 3: and it's just more much of a joyful, pleasant experience
14:49
Speaker 3: where we go in, you know, hang out with the
14:51
Speaker 3: fans and you know, like just run the business and
14:55

16:09
Speaker 2: and then we quickly expanded across like New Jersey and
16:11
Speaker 2: then through a couple of different states.
16:13
Speaker 5: But as of more recently.
16:15
Speaker 2: We've been we've been a little bit less on the
16:18
Speaker 2: retail side and more focusing on the e commerce side
16:20
Speaker 2: of the business. But everyone always says, you know, retail
16:23
Speaker 2: is not the same it's not the same environment. So
16:26
Speaker 2: a lot of it's been shifting in my uncle, that's
16:28
Speaker 2: where he kind of steps in and being the innovator
16:30
Speaker 2: of this place and kind of keeping us ahead.
16:33
Speaker 5: Of that curve. And that's where we're kind of on now.
16:36
Speaker 2: We're working with so many different retail partners getting our
16:39
Speaker 2: product into different retail store So that's been the new mission.
16:43
Speaker 1: Nice retail is tough, that's tough sledding in it.
16:46
Speaker 4: You know, the margins are really like very thin there.
16:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gotta do. Yes, they change, they change
16:52
Speaker 1: a lot, right.
16:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, change, especially as a lot of people don't realize
16:56
Speaker 2: we still we use real eggs, we use real milk,
16:59
Speaker 2: we use is real butter we use.
17:02
Speaker 5: People are like, oh, like the prices of stuff have really.
17:05
Speaker 2: Gone up, and from our side, you really see what
17:08
Speaker 2: you were paying just last month to this month.
17:11
Speaker 4: I know, we just got a price hicle on the
17:13
Speaker 4: Arabica beans and it added so much cost. All right,
17:18
Speaker 4: listen now on to Gilmore Girls. If you were just
17:21
Speaker 4: if you were designing a cake inspired by Gilmore Girls,
17:26
Speaker 4: what would it look like?
17:28
Speaker 3: I mean, it would have to have your diner like
17:32
Speaker 3: somewhere on that. I mean it would have to have.
17:37
Speaker 2: I would have to focus. I would I would have
17:40
Speaker 2: to put pull ink on there. He would have to
17:42
Speaker 2: be on there. I would have to I would have
17:46
Speaker 2: to incorate Luke's cheeseburger somewhere on that cake.
17:50
Speaker 3: We would have to have like, you know, Laura someone
17:54
Speaker 3: and Laura and Rory.
17:56
Speaker 2: We'd have to incorporate some of our old school Hertford
17:59
Speaker 2: have a little bit of you know, Emily and Richard's
18:01
Speaker 2: house incorporated into their somewhere.
18:04
Speaker 3: There's so many different things that we would have to
18:07
Speaker 3: incorporate you there.
18:09
Speaker 4: All right, So if you're baking just for Laurel and Rory, okay,
18:13
Speaker 4: what would you serve them?
18:14
Speaker 5: Cool? See?
18:15
Speaker 2: Now, I have always been a fan, and it's hysterical.
18:18
Speaker 2: The the blueberry shortcake. That's one of my one of
18:21
Speaker 2: my favorite recipes from the show that I've actually created myself,
18:24
Speaker 2: and I've actually done it.
18:25
Speaker 5: But I think Rory.
18:27
Speaker 2: I remember Rory always loved Suky's chocolate fldge cake, so
18:31
Speaker 2: I think and that's our that's our famous We're famous
18:34
Speaker 2: for our chocolate fledge cake. So I would have to
18:36
Speaker 2: do a chocolate fudge cake for the both of them.
18:39
Speaker 4: Right right, okay, all right, listen. Luke Steiner, as you know,
18:44
Speaker 4: might not be a bakery. But if Luke added one
18:47
Speaker 4: dessert to the menu, what should it be?
18:51
Speaker 3: Would it be the grayson Berry?
18:52
Speaker 5: The great I would say the grayson Berry.
18:54
Speaker 3: So that's like a blueberry like sponge, so it's kind
18:58
Speaker 3: of like a blueberry muffin on the box them. And
19:00
Speaker 3: then it has like a lemon moose, but it's not
19:04
Speaker 3: like lemone. It doesn't have like a really strong lemony flavor,
19:09
Speaker 3: and it's lemony moose. And then it has fresh blueberries
19:12
Speaker 3: on time. Just to know.
19:13
Speaker 2: In the development of that recipe, we must have taste
19:16
Speaker 2: tested over one hundred different recipes. The lemon flavoring correctly,
19:21
Speaker 2: it's not too much.
19:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know it takes a lot.
19:27
Speaker 3: It's the perfect amount of lemon. It's not overpowering, right right.
19:32
Speaker 1: Here's the question, though, if you were to come into
19:34
Speaker 1: Luke Steiner, what would you order and where would you sit?
19:39
Speaker 6: Okay, so I would have to order the cheeseburger, Yeah,
19:42
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, And I like, what table would
19:49
Speaker 6: I sit at?
19:51
Speaker 2: Probably the circular one that's not commonly on the show,
19:54
Speaker 2: but that one that's up by the front door near.
19:56
Speaker 1: The Yeah, yeah, by the window. It's sit for me.
20:00
Speaker 3: That's the best.
20:01
Speaker 1: That's the best seat in the house.
20:04
Speaker 4: That view of the park right there not and there's
20:06
Speaker 4: a little street there in front of it.
20:07
Speaker 1: They get the park. Yeah, Mary, what about you?
20:11
Speaker 3: I went one of the cheeseburger too. I was thinking
20:13
Speaker 3: that before he said it, and I would probably sit
20:17
Speaker 3: at the same table because I would want to be Yeah,
20:19
Speaker 3: I would want to be eat him with him, Mike.
20:24
Speaker 5: It's close to yeah.
