Buddy Valastro of Carlo's Bakery, star of TLC's "Cake Boss" has a sweet deal for those who book a wedding party, social or corporate event at one of eight participating New Jersey and Philadelphia-area Marriott Hotels.

Takers can select the promotion's Marriott signature cake, show, or from 24 other designs from the wildly popular Hoboken bakery. The Marriott signature cake is a round layered red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and a white fondant outer shell decorated with burgundy border stripes, dots and a crown of hand-formed roses. Of course, the cake will be be monogrammed to reflect the event's hosts and can be customized with selected colors and flowers.

Those who require more choices can pay an upgrade fee to select from any of Carlo's Bakery's 228 cake styles. The free promotional cake will be sized to serve the number of guests guaranteed for the event.

The package also includes a cake tasting and behind-the-scenes look at Carlo's Bakery's new Jersey City factory, a one-on-one consultation with a member of Valastro's staff and (can you stand it?) an autographed photograph from Buddy.
