His team rested at his family’s wooden dining table and held the piping bag tightly as he ran the intricate details on the cake.
Wearing a white shirt with a V-neck and a single gold chain, Valastro kept his eyes on the cake, while his family watched anxiously from the sidelines.
Each family member also had a cake to decorate in order to turn the training session into a group activity.

On September 20, Buddy fell into his hand at a fisherman at his home’s bowling alley which happened to be out of order.
In a photo uploaded to his Instagram on September 23, he showed his mega squad while resting in a hospital bed.
I have reset it hundreds of times. [This time] I think I looked away, and then my hand was clenched. The metal tip was pushed through the middle of my ring finger and my middle finger. The TLC star remembered for She was stuck in a machine Persons.

He is now looking to months of physical therapy to repair the nerve, tendon and muscle damage he suffered.
“It’s really my primer now, but they say it’s definitely going to be a long way to heal … I have something in my hands. If a paper cut in my hand, I’d be disenfranchised,” he explained.
Buddy also expressed to the port at the time his concern that an injury might prevent him from baking again.
My hand is my lifeline for everything I do. I wonder, “Would I ever do it to be able to do it?”
