07. Cake Boss
TLC’s Cake Boss became a fan favourite through the years, watching the amazing cakes produced by Buddy and the Valastro family, as well as their interpersonal family dynamics. However, it turns out the show is largely staged and Buddy is never at the Hoboken shop and only goes for filming.
In addition, the big reveal of the cake is totally staged and producers have to request it from the customer first. Worst of all, most of the incredible, inventive cakes are inedible as they have to stand up with cladding. Sheet cakes are given with the cakes which are edible.
