I LOVE the crazy cake man, Buddy Valastro on TLC Cake Boss! It’s summer and new episodes are already showing off his craziness. If you are not a fan yet, take a peek at this fun clip video of cake bliss and you will be hooked! In the meantime, I want to know if you have ever had a “cake wreck?” Share your crazy story with me. I found this hilarious blog called Cake Wrecks. It shows off some of the best wrecks out there in bloggy land. Her definition of “what’s a wreck?” is messy:
“A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate – you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it’s simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I’m not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.” (Cake Wrecks blog)
I don’t know if Buddy ever had a cake wreck, but we can tune in to find out. The new Cake Boss season is 26 episodes long and will feature a return to the Valastro family’s roots – a trip to Italy. Included in the upcoming crazy cake creations are a cake in the form of a mechanical bull, a cake in the form of the stock market’s closing bell and a cake for National Train Day that was 25 feet long and 10 feet wide.
Valastro said the train cake really pushed the envelope. He takes great pride in all of his team’s cakes this season, calling them “bigger, crazier and, in my opinion, better than ever.”
