Cake boss

There was a point when Buddy Valastro feared he would never bake again. The Cake Boss star was hospitalized after a freak accident in September 2020 resulted in his right hand being impaled three times by a pinsetter in the bowling alley at his home in New Jersey.

In the months that followed he needed multiple surgeries and endured intense physical therapy to get his hand functioning again.

But now finally he’s returning with two new shows on A&E, which premiere back-to-back on Saturday, November 11.

It’s great news for fans of the fourth-generation baker and entrepreneur as he makes his comeback with Legends of the Fork, which sees Buddy visit iconic restaurants across America, followed by Buddy Valastro’s Cake Dynasty, where Valastro whips up cake creations with his family.

Here, Valastro opens up about his journey and how his two new shows bring something different to the table.
