Buddy Valastro, star of TLC's "Cake Boss," brings a special live holiday show the entire family will enjoy. Sharing the holiday traditions and stories from his family at Carlo's Bakery, Buddy presents an all-new show full of holiday spirit and "jingle bell rock." Demonstrating the techniques that have made him the most famous cake artist in the country, Buddy will share behind-the-scenes stories from his hit TV show, answer audience questions, and will bring several lucky members of the audience up on stage for cupcake and cake decorating.

"Cake Boss," one of the most popular shows of the TLC network, recently began its fifth season. Viewers continue to celebrate the mouthwatering desserts and not-to-be-missed Valastro family moments occurring in bustling Hoboken, NJ, 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.

In late 2011, Buddy released his second book with Simon & Schuster. In Baking with the Cake Boss: 100 of Buddy's Best Recipes and Decorating Secrets, Buddy shares everything a home cook needs to know about baking as he takes readers through the same progressive training he had in his apprenticeship at Carlo's Bakery. A new book is set for release in November 2012 (details forthcoming).
