The popularity of the show has resulted in increased business for Carlo's Bake Shop, and increased tourism to the Hoboken area.
Due to the series' popularity, Carlo's Bake Shop has become a tourist attraction, with lines to enter the bakery often extending down the block and around the corner. In 2010, Hoboken renamed the corner of Washington Street and Newark Street to "Carlo's Bakery Way" in honor of the bakery's centennial.
On November 2, 2010, Buddy Valastro's book, Cake Boss: Stories and Recipes from Mia Famiglia, which is based on the series, was released. Published by Free Press in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Carlo's Bake Shop, the book features the history and stories of Valastro's family and the bake shop, along with recipes.
The success of Cake Boss has led to a spin-off competition series hosted by Buddy Valastro himself, Next Great Baker. Ten people compete to win the show's top prize: $50,000 cash, a new car and an apprenticeship at Carlo's Bakery. The program's first season was seen on TLC December 6, 2010 through January 24, 2011.
Another spinoff series, Kitchen Boss, debuted January 25, 2011. This series, which is seen weekdays, features Buddy presenting his family's recipes, as well as special guests, including members of his own family.
As of October 17, 2011, a total of 85 episodes and 3 specials have been broadcast. The first three seasons have been released on DVD in Region 1. Each episode name employs alliteration.
In July 2010, Masters Software, Inc., of Cedar Park, Texas, obtained a preliminary injunction forbidding TLC from calling its show "Cake Boss". Since 2006, the company has operated the domain name cakeboss.com, and since 2007, it has sold a bakery management program called CakeBoss. The suit claims that Discovery Communications infringes on its trademark by causing confusion among customers and vendors. In October 2010, Masters Software and Discovery Communications reached a settlement, the details of which are not public.
