Controversies

edit

In July 2010, Masters Software, Inc., ofCedar Park, Texas,obtained a preliminary injunction forbidding TLC from calling its show "Cake Boss".[64]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 thatDiscovery Communicationsinfringes on its trademark by causing confusion among customers and vendors.[65]In October 2010, Masters Software and Discovery Communications reached a settlement, the details of which are not public.[66][67]

On June 11, 2012,transgendercelebrityCarmen Carreraappeared in aCake Bossepisode, "Bar Mitzvah, Beads and Oh Baby!",in which she unknowingly participated in a prank involving Cousin Anthony, who was set up with a date with Carrera. The punchline of the prank had Buddy tell Anthony that Carrera is transgender. Carrera agreed to participate in the prank on the program in part to promote equality for the transgender community saying," I'm totally cool with a prank like this, I, you know as long as it's in good fun. "Following the airing of the program, Carrera was upset by an interview portion of the program where Buddy said," And I tell him...that's a man, baby! "Carrera made a statement saying," I made it VERY clear to the producers on how to use the correct wording before agreeing to filming this but instead they chose to poke fun and be disrespectful. That's not what I'm about!... I may not have been born a woman, but I'm NOT a man... After taking this journey it's not fair at all to be lied to by the producers. "Buddy Valastro apologized for the incident, saying," I owe an apology to the entire LGBT community. It was absolutely not my intention to upset or offend her, or anyone within the community, and I was wrong to use the words I did. I am a supporter of gay rights and equality, and while I regret this situation and my choice of words, I am thankful to have received this feedback and the opportunity to learn from this mistake. I hope that Carmen accepts my sincere regrets. "[68]The following day, on June 12, 2012, TLC announced that "Bar Mitzvah, Beads and Oh Baby!" had been pulled from rotation indefinitely, with plans to re-edit the episode.[69]The episode has since re-aired on July 23, 2012, but with the offending scene re-edited.
