New Jersey's own 2009 Cherry Blossom Princes Naimah Terry arrived at the bakery this morning on official business: to pick up 100 chocolate vanilla and vanilla fudge cupcakes for the New Jersey State Society's annual holiday party in Washington, D.C. tonight.
"It's a big New Jersey network of all the movers and shakers in D.C. and their staff," said Terry, 22, a recent Rutgers grad and lifelong Jersey City resident - until recently when she moved to Newark.
Although her duties as Cherry Blossom Princess ended in April, Terry maintains strong ties to the society and was charged with bringing the cupcakes which were donated by the bakery.
Terry is also a sometime fan of the popular TLC reality series shot at the Hoboken bakery.
"I'm a big jersey fan, so you gotta show love (for "Cake Boss")," she said.

The college romance that seemed to wilt under the pressure of adulthood and the glare of the paparazzi has blossomed at last. Prince William is finally engaged to his longtime girlfriend and will give Britain its biggest royal wedding since Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer almost 30 years ago. Royal officials announced Tuesday that William will marry Kate Middleton next spring or summer in London, ending years of rumored splits, reconciliations and will-they, won’t-they speculation.
