Buddy Valastro Recounts Horrific Bowling Injury on Right Hand

After two emergency surgeries on his right hand, the “Cake Boss” is uncertain when he’ll be back to baking.

“Cake Boss” star Buddy Valastro is speaking out following a freak accident at his home in New Jersey, which has a bowling alley in the basement, as seen in a family TikTok video.

“The pinsetter got stuck, and I went to go fix it, and before I could blink an eye, my hand got cut caught in a mechanism which is like a fork. And then this metal rod just ripped right through my ring finger and my pointer finger,” Valastro said. 

His sons had to cut him loose with a saw. After two emergency surgeries on his right hand, the “Cake Boss” is uncertain when he’ll be back to baking.
