As you may already have guessed, I'm a bit of a reality tv addict. Meet my new favorite reality tv star, Buddy Valastro. 
I'm not a celebrity stalker or super fan. I've seen many a celebrity walk past me without much more than a second glance. Actors are just people. But Buddy isn't an actor and I would like to make a petition to him to adopt me. What do you say Valastros? If this helps at all, I'm a quarter Italian. I don't know anything about making cakes but I'm a fast leaner. I'm also really clumsy so please don't put me in charge of delivery. Thanks! I'll be patiently waiting by the phone now for my call.
No room in the family for a clutzy partial Italian who can't bake? So it's going to be like that? Ok, I get it. What about you make me a birthday cake as a consolation prize? A limestone cake would be a pretty cool addition to your portfolio, don't you think? What'da ya say? Deal?
If I don't hear back from Buddy soon, I think I'm just going to have to get over to Hoboken and stake out the bakery. Or at the very least stop by and buy a cookie in the hopes I just happen to non-chalently and coolly run into Buddy and pretend I've never seen the show while I have Mr Limestone furiously snapping photographs of us interacting. But really, I'm not a stalker.
He is the "star" of TLC's Cake Boss which is a show about a family that runs a bakery out of Hoboken, NJ. They make cool cakes but the show isn't entirely about that - its about the family and how they operate the bakery and deal with making these creations. I like it for a lot of reasons. One, I have a fascination with people who can do things I can't do but would like to. Two, it’s hilarious to me to watch this family interact with each other in a way that feels both real and vaguely familiar to me despite never having a big familgia. Three, its full of suspense as they have to transport these towering stacks of soft cake and cream to their final destinations. Four, none of the people on the show are hipsters or think they are cool which is what, in fact, makes them cool. What more could I ask for?
