Carlos Bakery owes its name to the Italian pastry chef Carlo Guastaferro, who established the bakery in 1910. Fast forward to 1964, and it was acquired by Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Sr. Today, the bakery is in the capable hands of Buddy Valastro's son, Buddy Valastro, who manages the sweet operations with the support of his four older sisters, three brothers-in-law, and a circle of cherished family members and friends. It's a true testament to the enduring legacy of Carlo Guastaferro's culinary craftsmanship.
