Buddy himself recognizes this, and admits that his show is much more about choreography rather than raw talent. He understands that there are other bakers out there that are perhaps more artistic than his crew or that maybe make more scrumptious cakes than his bakery, but the appeal of Cake Boss has always been the way Carlo's Bakery goes about their day-to-day operations and the dynamics between the different characters.
Buddy and his family are always trying to play pranks on each other mostly aimed at Cousin Anthony. Some of the tricks seen on the show included Anthony getting bombarded with pies, Buddy sending a clown after an employee that was afraid of clowns, and dumping water and flour on an unsuspecting crew member. However, fans accused the Buddy of going too far in As part of an episode involving a Mardi Gras celebration, Cousin Anthony talks with a woman whom he finds particularly attractive.
Anthony and Carmen flirt and exchange numbers, all while Buddy tells the audience that he's setting up a giant prank; Carmen Carrera is a transgender modeling superstar and Cousin Anthony has no idea. After Carmen gives him a peck on the cheek, Buddy calls him over and tells him " She's a man, baby! Carrera quickly shot back at the show, saying that she didn't know she was going to be part of a joke that was so insulting to the transgender community.
Buddy has since apologized, and the episode has been pulled from syndication. With a name like Cake Boss , it's pretty obvious that the lives of the Valastro Family would revolve around the dessert in question. Even the spin-offs from the series are cake-focused in their own way! Cake is the lifeblood of Carlo's Bakery; without the cake decorating talents of Buddy and his crew, there would never have even been a show.
The deliciously creative creations of the show have gone on to awe anyone who's stood in their presence on top of providing them with a tasty snack. However, the Valastros aren't really that crazy about cake themselves. Perhaps it's because the pastry in question has seemingly taken over their lives, or perhaps they realized a long time ago that you don't make it far in the cake decorating industry when you keep eating your product.
When Buddy was asked by an interviewer what the family was going to be eating for the holidays, he responded by saying that they weren't really into cake as a dessert, and preferred things like cannolis and eclairs. What more could you want from reality TV than what you get in Cake Boss?
It has everything - the charismatic and good-natured lead, annoying side characters who create drama whenever they're on screen, tight deadlines and demanding clients that cause tensions inside of the shop, and audiences are practically beaten over the head with family values by the Valastro Family. There never seems to be a dull moment inside of Carlo's Bake Shop. As stated before, Buddy understands that the show is all about the choreography and keeping audiences entertained.
This means that several events in the show are scripted for maximum entertainment value. Remember when Mama Valastro walked in on the erotic cake just as the cameras happened to be watching?
Or the time that two of the employees dropped an expensive cake down the stairs when they were already on a tight deadline? Situations like these happen quite often and seem to be a little too convenient to be mere coincidences. Perhaps the most shocking revelation from this list comes in at 3. You read that right. Buddy, the owner of Carlo's Bakery whose entire lifeblood lies in its success and who has been working in the establishment for over twenty years, is almost never physically at the bakery.
Fans have also seen their romance grow even more over time, including in during the Season 4 episode " Soap, Sonograms and Surprises " as they renewed their vows in the Bahamas. There's no doubt that Buddy Valastro is one of the most knowledgeable men in the world when it comes to baking and cake decorating, but when it comes to formal education, he's actually a high school dropout.
He explained his decision to The Seattle Times in , sharing he started working at the bakery alongside his dad when he was around 11 years old by cleaning bowls. When a year-old Buddy's dad died, he left high school in his junior year "and went to work full time.
I was a B student who never tried. I got mostly B's and an occasional C," he shared. But dropping out of high school wasn't the plan Buddy's dad, Bartolo Buddy Valastro, had for his son, as he wanted him to go to college via Guideposts.
Three weeks before Bartolo died, Buddy told him while standing beside his hospital bed, "I'm gonna work full-time at the bakery. I'm going to make Carlo's a household name, like you always dreamed, I promise. I'm going to make you proud, Dad. Just get better. We have to keep it going," and dropped out of school that very day. The Valastro family have certainly had their fair share of health scares, one of the worst coming in the form of a particularly tragic diagnosis for the Valastro matriarch, Mary Valastro-Piccinch, who was heavily featured on "Cake Boss.
Mary — the mom of Buddy and his four sisters — was diagnosed with ALS in and died as a result of pneumonia, a common cause of death for those with the disease, in A representative for the family told People her "condition had been steadily worsening these past months, so it was not sudden but still extremely heartbreaking for the family.
After eight years of fighting her battle with ALS, the family is relieved she is no longer suffering. Buddy and his sisters are absolutely crushed right now.
Mary's experience with the illness was discussed a lot on "Cake Boss" and the family were very outspoken about trying to find her the best treatment.

Buddy candidly opened up about his final moments with his mom to People. You're my No. Did you know that Buddy Valastro's real name isn't actually Buddy Valastro?
Yep, though we were fooled into thinking Buddy's real name was Buddy, it turns out his official name is actually Bartolo Valastro Jr, named after his father, Bartolo Valastro Sr. As for how he got the infamous nickname? Well, Buddy opened up about his moniker and how his dad's name also played a part in that during a sit down with Newsday.
He explained that his beloved father was the first to have the nickname, getting it when he came over from Italy as a different take on his original first name, Bobbytolo. But everybody would say Bartolo or they couldn't pronounce it.
So his friend said we're going to give you an American nickname. We're going to call you Buddy. And then everybody called him Buddy," Buddy shared. The name lives on too, as Buddy shared his son also has the name on his birth certificate.
Everybody calls us Buddy. I feel like I couldn't have gotten a better name because I feel like I'm friends with everybody, and I get along with everybody so it was pretty cool to have the name Buddy growing up.
Buddy Valastro's serious hand accident Instagram. And while Buddy and his family are undoubtedly successful, you might be surprised to learn that there are some sketchy facts that the Cake Boss may not want fans to know. While the show did a stellar job at portraying the cake icon, there's a lot that fans don't know about. Although many of the cakes being inedible or made off-site isn't too much of a shock, it turns out the show has some rather sketchy secrets.
Not only was Buddy Valastro once arrested on DUI charges, but so was his brother-in-law, Remy Gonzalez for sexually assaulting a minor. Drama runs deeps in the family, considering Cousin Anthony, who notoriously dropped a cake on the show, has gone on Twitter to make some disparaging anti-immigrant comments following the Boston Marathon bombing. In fact, they are still quite a struggle to make.
What a waste [sic] of money. Tasteless filling and the crust was [sic] not that good. Both did not taste fresh at all - like they had been on the window for a week.
