We are constantly asked if we watch “Cake Boss“…of course! Buddy is a favorite of ours. He’s nice as can be and gives his time to our baker’s group.
The star attraction of the Amerian Retail Bakery Exposition, in Charlotte, was Buddy Valastro and crew from Carlo’s Bakery of Cake Boss fame.
They built, along with the local culinary students, a life size NASCAR “car”…..2500 cakes, complete with an engine under the hood!
While the Carlo’s Bakery gang was out at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, the front fender of the “cake” fell off because the convention hall was too warm. They stayed up until 3:00AM repairing and finishing it in time for the morning opening.
Joe Gibbs was the keynote speaker for the convention and as a NASCAR team owner, Buddy showed off the “car”…..Joe was pretty impressed, especially under the hood.
