HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken's celebrity chef and "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro is officially a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

"Everyone loves a well made dessert, and the baker who made it," the NJHOF said about Valastro, the owner of Carlo's Bakery and the star of the reality television series "Cake Boss," which premiered in April 2009.

Valastro was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame during a ceremony on May 6 in Asbury Park.
