HOBOKEN – Hoboken’s very own “Cake Boss” will serve up some divine sweets for Pope Francis’ Philadelphia visit next Saturday, according to the New York Post.
Buddy Valastro, who stars in the TLC television series along with other family members, was asked to whip up a cake for the pope’s “Festival of the Families” event on Sept. 26, the newspaper reported. The event will feature performances by Aretha Franklin and The Fray.
Valastro opened a new bakery in Philadelphia this past summer, NJ Advance Media reported. It is the 10th Carlo’s Bakery to open, with the flagship location in Hoboken.
Valastro — “a devout Catholic,” according to the New York Post — described earlier this year what his cake for the pontiff would look like.
“It would be in the shape of his magnificent hat or the Vatican…That city is rich in history, and buildings. I wouldn’t know where to start!” he told The Telegraph.
