Start saving your Cake Boss T-shirts, mouse pads and baseball caps -- they're about to become collector's items. The TLC show, which has been on for over a year now, was ordered by a judge to change its name, because CakeBoss has been the name of a cake-making software program since 2007. I'm going to repeat that: a cake-making software program. While we were hoping that it was a program that produced delicious cakes out of your printer, or possibly even a video game in which you battled other chefs as you ran around the tiers of the world's largest cake, it's actually a tool made to help bakers keep track of orders, price cakes appropriately and manage recipes and ingredients, which is... still pretty incredible that it exists. Anyway, we don't want the show to go anywhere, so we figured we'd try to come up with some new names for the producers to choose from.
Cakewalk and Caketastrophe are already taken, but we managed to come up with plenty of options that celebrate the show's teamwork, New Jersey location and Italian-American family dynamic:
Cake Squad
Cakemakers
Cake Superior
Caketown, NJ
Cakepocalypse
Cakesplosion
Cake Is It
Cake It Or Leave It
Cake It or Break It
Whatever It Cakes
Can't Hardly Cake
The Cakefather
You Cakin' To Me?
FuhCakeAboutIt
Cake Springsteen
Old Cake-Eyes

Cake Prince
Why should he lose the name? Theirs is written as one word and his is written as two words.
Bake Boss. One letter and it's fixed. He'll always be the Cake Boss to me. If I owned Cakeboss, I'd let them use the name, for a fee, maybe even some lessons, etc.
I think this was a GOOD THING that happened because CakeBoss is too limiting. The show encompasses so much more than cake or baking. However, if you want to stick with it how about CakeBoxx? I would go more for Carlo's Bakery from Happy Hoboken myself. Hoboken brings in all the culture and after all, Carlo's is a historical landmark!

This is something else the family can yell and scream about on the show. I wish they would stick to baking.

The new show title should be something very Buddy. It should be called "It's Hoboken Baby"
All round well thought out article.
The write-up is thought provoking. job well done i should say.
