Candy canes, carols, and the Cake Boss! Celebrate the holidays this season with America’s favorite baker when Buddy Valastro’s Homemade for the Holidays Tour arrives in Philadelphia on Tuesday, November 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Verizon Hall. Buddy Valastro, star of TLC’s Cake Boss, brings a special live holiday show the entire family will enjoy as he shares holiday traditions and stories from his gang over at Carlo’s Bakery.
New York Times best-selling author of Cake Boss and Baking with the Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, brings his latest release along on the road, COOKING ITALIAN WITH THE CAKE BOSS: Family Favorites as Only Buddy Can Serve Them Up (Free Press; November 6, 2012). His new cookbook introduces 100 of Buddy’s delicious, essential Italian-American recipes—from his grandmother’s secret dishes to his personal specialties he makes for his own children—with signature touches that make everyday meals into memorable family events. Buddy says, "Food is love, and my favorite family moments involve meals just like the ones I'm sharing here.”
In addition to sharing a taste of the incredible home style dishes that he cooks up for his friends and family, Buddy will demonstrate the techniques that have made him the most famous cake artist in the country and share behind-the-scenes stories from his hit TV show, answer audience questions, and even bring several lucky members of the audience up on stage for cupcake and cake decorating. Pack up your sleigh and head on down to the show, ‘cause Buddy is coming to town!
Tickets for Buddy Valastro: Homemade for the Holidays tour are available from $35.75-$45.75 at kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the box office located at Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, Pa. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for $85 which includes a post-show meet and greet, Cake Boss tour laminate, and special holiday surprise.
One of the centerpiece shows of the TLC network, a fifth season of Cake Boss began airing on Memorial Day. Viewers continue to celebrate the mouthwatering desserts and not-to-be-missed Valastro family moments occurring in bustling Hoboken, N.J., home of Carlo’s Bakery, which celebrates its 102nd anniversary this summer. In addition, Buddy’s second TV series on TLC Next Great Baker launches a new season on November 26th.
Buddy releases his third cook book on November 6 and this time he brings more than just his baking expertise to the table. COOKING ITALIAN WITH THE CAKE BOSS will allow anyone to become the boss of their own kitchen this winter—even novice cooks will be able to whip up a tasty and complete meal, from appetizers like stuffed artichokes to satisfying, signature entrees like Grandma Madeline’s Sausage Lasagna or a classic potato gnocchi, family-style. And of course there will be Buddy’s famous “Sunday Gravy” recipe that he’s justifiably proud of (aka tomato sauce) and some brand-new desserts, including an easy chocolate mousse—perfect for bringing to holiday parties.
With tips passed down through generations to make Italian favorites even more delicious, along with clear techniques and step-by-step color photos, COOKING ITALIAN WITH THE CAKE BOSS shows that this Cake Boss knows how to bring families together through food. And as he’s working with you on these delicious recipes, he’s telling more stories about himself and his clan’s memorable moments in the kitchen, making you feel part of the famiglia.
