Banner Art featured on Cake Boss’ Season 2 episode 9 “Freaks, Fast Food & Frightened Frankie”
“Cake Boss” centers around Buddy Valastro’s bakery, Carlo’s City Hall Bake Shop in Hoboken, N.J. In the episode “Freaks, Fast Food & Frightened Frankie,” which originally aired on Nov. 30, 2009, Valastro and his crew designed a cake for the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, using Roberts’ paintings as part of the design. The designs were printed on edible paper and then pasted onto a specialty food item and cut out. When Roberts received a call asking permission for her pictures to be used on the show, she allowed it even though she had never heard of the show.
