Buddy Valastro built a hospital this week … out of cake batter.
The ‘Cake Boss’ wanted to show his appreciation to the doctors who saved his right hand after it was destroyed in a bowling accident, and so he baked a cake in the shape of the hospital where he was treated.
Buddy posted a photo of his handiwork, with the caption: “Look at the super special cake I made for Dr. Michelle Carlson, the nurses and staff of @hspecialsurgery, as a sign of my great appreciation!” and adds: “It repeats the main hospital there in #NYC. 🌃 I could never thank them enough for everything they did to help me on this journey to complete recovery ♥ ️”
As we reported, Buddy bowled in September when he tried to release a cone from the cage mechanism. His right hand submitted and compressed in the unit screwed into the mechanism for 5 minutes. His sons rushed into a garage and got a saw to cut the metal bar to free Buddy’s hand.
Buddy was rushed to hospital where doctors removed a stick and treated a horrible wound. A second operation was performed by Dr Michelle Carlson, for whom he gave a special exclamation when he delivered the cake.

Buddy came on “TMZ Live” to chat how he navigates the cake biz these days. He uses his left hand much more than usual, but it clearly works for him.
