She's been a recurring character in the reality television series Cake Boss that shows the goings-on inside the famed Carlo's Bakery — Buddy's family business — in Hoboken, New Jersey. Most episodes revolve around the Boss and his family of sisters, brothers-in-law, aunt, and cousins whipping up pastries and conceptualizing larger-than-life cakes.
And then there are some episodes that delve into the private life of Buddy and Lisa, with cameo appearances by their four children Sofia, Buddy Jr, Marco, and Carlo. With the main spotlight always on the cake decorating maestro, what we see in the show are only fleeting glimpses of Lisa. For Buddy, Lisa is his best friend , an "incredible, supportive wife" and an "amazing, caring mother".
The couple renewed their wedding vows on a Disney cruise, a decade after they got hitched in — this time in the presence of their children. The duo has it sorted out when it comes to dividing responsibilities. While Buddy takes care of the bakery business, Lisa has things in control at home. She plays the bad cop with the kids, while Buddy slides easily into the good cop role. She and Buddy, as it turns out, have never had a fight!
Here's all you need to know about the woman behind the Cake Boss' success. Co-hosted with comedian Erica Spera , producer of Comedy, the podcast covers all that goes on in the Valastro family when the cameras are off. In the podcast, Lisa candidly talks about the challenges that come with being the wife of a popular television star, and a social figure herself.
Until, unfortunately, social media started pinpointing it out for me," she says in an episode of the podcast. Even if she tries her best to look decent standing next to her celebrity husband, she adds, people would still find something wrong with her appearance.
Sadly, for Lisa, it has gotten to a point that she doesn't feel like posting a photo on Instagram where she has , plus followers anymore.
The episodes give an unfiltered view of the Valastro household, where kids have curfews, and holiday get-togethers are a big celebration — like in any other normal family. The weekly podcast was launched in July , and was listed among the iTunes Top 20 podcasts in October Lisa is a first-generation Italian-American. Lisa was the oldest child and the oldest grandchild in her family. She was allowed to go to movies on Friday nights only. But there were rules even around that.
And this was the '90s, when the majority of people didn't own a cell phone. But, defending her folks' strict parenting style, Lisa said that as immigrants fresh off the boat from Italy, "they did their best for what they knew! She is okay with her teenage daughter, Sofia, and son, Buddy Jr, dating and going to parties, as long as they are back by midnight.
She is opposed to the idea of them taking Uber all by themselves though. She would rather drive them from one party to another, even if that means that she has wait in the parking lot for two hours via What's up Cuz? While Buddy Valastro can whip up many a mouthwatering cake, when it comes to cooking at home, his wife is the boss. Launched in , it was initially called Easy Italian with Lisa Valastro , and the first five episodes — all done in January — had the reality star demonstrating how to cook popular Italian dishes such as bruschetta, fresh tomato sauce, egg balls, roasted tomatoes and garlic spaghetti, and Cacio e pepe pasta with cheese and pepper.
Some videos are shot in her home kitchen in New Jersey, and some in the outdoor kitchen of their house along the Jersey shore. The show gives a generous glimpse of the Cake Boss family's kitchen, while also revealing interesting trivia about Lisa herself.
For example, now we know that Lisa's favorite vegetable is zucchini , and her favorite kitchen tool is a garlic press. She said: "This tool travels with me everywhere. If I have to cook somewhere, this always goes in my pocketbook" via TLC. All the dishes featured in the show are made with fresh ingredients. They're what Lisa makes at home for her family. They even include her children's favorites: mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows and sugar, and a pasta and broccoli one-pot meal.
Buddy and Lisa Valastro knew each other growing up. Buddy's second cousin and neighbor was Lisa's best friend. Things never moved further, until one Christmas, Buddy's cousins came from Italy to visit, and one of them asked her to join them for clubbing. That was the first time they went out together — she was 19 and he was In our Carlo's Bakery Bake Shops, we are continuing protocols for the safety of our team members and our customers, including: Increasing the frequency of routine disinfecting throughout our bake shops Limiting the number of guests inside our bake shops and have signage for guests to social distance appropriately Adding hand sanitizer in our bake shops for customers Adding protective barriers at our registers to minimize contact Requiring our team members to wear masks and gloves and continue social distancing during shifts Continuing health screenings for our team members before shifts Thank you to the BEST customers around for your patience and support during these times!
