Hoboken NJYou sick of the cake options in Hoboken? Does the Cake Boss make you nauseous? Well – right up the road at 1816 Willow Avenue in Weehawken is a custom cake shop called The Hudson Cakery. Most folks probably don’t notice it either because they’re driving too fast, texting or had issues reading the rather small font on the front of the building.
“The Hudson Cakery is an upscale custom cake boutique with an emphasis on TASTE. We bake-to-order with only the freshest ingredients for a delicious addition to your special day. Our cakes taste as good as they look!
We specialize in modern designs but we are open to anything you want to create to act as the centerpiece of your event. Every cake we design, we tailor to your needs – from mild to wild – we treat each one as a work of art.”
Head Chef & Owner Jennifer Bunce has loved baking (and eating!) desserts, especially cake, since she was a child. However, only recently did she turn her passion into a full time business. Post-college, she found success in Event Planning and Public Relations. But after 5 years of the corporate grind, she knew she had to find a “sweeter” way of living. She decided to turn her hobby of baking and cake decorating into a career so she attended the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC.
After graduating with high honors in Pastry Arts, she interned with famed bakery, Confetti Cakes with Elisa Strauss. She has also studied with Kate Sullivan at CakePower, International Sugar Artist Lorraine McKay as well as cake decorating pro Chef Toba Garrett. After leaving a pastry chef position at Sweetiepie Restaurant in NYC, Jennifer established The Hudson Cakery in May 2009.
The Hudson Cakery has been featured in The New York Times, Brides NJ Magazine, NJ Contemporary Bride Magazine, Palisades Magazine, 201 Bride Magazine as well as various online resources like WeddingWire.com, The Knot.com, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, Yes Bride, Project Wedding, The Cake Blog and more. We were also the The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 Pick as well as the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards 2011.

V’s Barbershop at 1114 Washington St. came together quite nicely and expeditiously!
They also have convenient hours: Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm, and Saturday 9am to 6pm. Closed on Sundays.
And if any criminals get any ideas to steal tips or engage in any other nefarious activities – this location is monitored by video surveillance cameras.

Hoboken NJNot sure what’s going on here at the Calle 6 Cuban Deli at Park & 6th, but it sure looks closed – just about six months after opening. The website is still online as well as their Facebook page, but no notice of closure anywhere.
The food was pretty good here, too. Oh well – what would succeed at this spot? Is it just the lack of exposure and street traffic?

Hoboken NJHoboken’s Benny Love may have moved his Go Postal shipping & receiving center to Washington Street – but that doesn’t mean the old spot at 302 Monroe Street would go to waste. Introducing Love2Bounce at “The Monroe.”
Lots of people email Hoboken411 asking for suggestions where to have their parties, events, or showers. I typically give them some rough guidance on what might work, depending on their cost limitations and size of party. But this space at The Monroe looks like it is suitable for many kinds of gatherings.
As you can see on the postcard below – one main attraction is for kiddies (complete with inflatable contraptions). But they also offer the space for any celebration you can think of – and make available various audio and visual tools, too.

Looks like Hoboken’s love affair with Falafel is showing signs of fatigue. A few days ago, Ibby’s Falafel at 614 Washington Street called it quits. The reason for their demise could be one or more of the following:
Perhaps it’s even the block they’re on – because Hummus Bar a few doors down also seems to be suffering a bit these days as well.
Why do you think they crashed?
