Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro is an admittedly terrible artist and doesn't do housework, but just try to top his cake-making skills or his top-notch veal piccata.
He's turned himself into a household name thanks to fantastical desserts like the life-sized NASCAR race car crafted from 24 individual cakes or the 14-foot Statue of Liberty confection. . In fact, his father, a third-generation baker, expressly forbid it.
Bartolo Valastro landed in the states from Sicily with neither money nor shoes. Pulling himself up from the proverbial bootstraps he diverted from the bread-making business purveyed by his father and grandfather back in Italy and purchased Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey at 25. A year later he marriedand together they created pastries and a family, four daughters followed by little Bartolo Valastro Jr.
"'You are not going to do this for a living,' he'd say in his husky Italian accent," Valastro wrote."'You are going to college.'" First, though, he'd get an education in hard work, scrubbing floors, cleaning bathrooms, cracking eggs and decorating cookies. Soon he was making tea biscuits, éclairs, napoleons, even decorating wedding cakes. But his dad still insisted a bachelor's degree, not a bakery job, was in his future.
