A party just isn’t a party without
something wonderful to eat and drink—and an incredible
dessert at the center! Make every gathering with your
friends and famiglia extra special with these 100 original
recipes featuring the Cake Boss’s signature twists on
favorite family foods.
Cake Boss Buddy Valastro and
his tight-knit, fun-loving family get together around food
every day, so it’s no surprise they go all out on special
occasions with dishes that are traditions in their own
right, such as Pepperoni Pizza Puffs at the kids’ birthday
bashes, Valastro Family Stuffing on Thanksgiving, and
Marinated Seafood Salad every Christmas. From holidays to
summer barbeques to bake-a-paloozas designed to brighten
those nasty, bad-weather days when kids and grown-ups alike
are cooped up inside, Buddy’s celebrations are always
punctuated by a special cake, cupcake, or dessert that
captures the essence of the occasion with an unforgettable
visual and—of course—an incredible taste. Some desserts are
seasonal and simple to make but are beautiful nonetheless,
such as Italian Wheat Pie, Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie with its
delightful autumnal border of pie-crust leaves, a
Valentine’s Day Heart Cake frosted with chocolate mousse and
decorated with chocolate shavings, and a Volcano Mousse
Cake— individual desserts coated in melted chocolate—for
Mother’s Day.
Then there are the truly spectacular
cakes with special effects like the grill-shaped cake for a
Memorial Day—or any—cookout, complete with its own hot dogs
and burgers (cleverly fashioned from fondant, grill marks
and all); an Easter Basket Cake with its basket-weave sides
and topping of actual jelly beans and chocolate candy; and
the Christmas Gift Cake—a magnificent, gold
fondant–“wrapped” gift. And underneath every creative
decoration lies an absolutely delicious, tried-and-true
basic recipe, the foundation to a great dessert, created by
Buddy himself. Buddy also teaches you ways to customize
decorations for the sports fans in your family with special
cookies and cakes for birthdays and tailgate parties, and
there are lots of desserts that kids will have fun making
with you. Clear, step-by-step instructions, decorating tips,
and gorgeous photography guide you through recipes perfect
for all generations and every occasion—as if Buddy were by
your side teaching you himself.
These menus
celebrate a delicious year in the life of the Valastro
family, starting with New Year’s Day and running right
through New Year’s Eve. Now you can mark the moments in your
life with unforgettable desserts as well as Buddy’s family’s
traditional dishes, which are sure to inspire good times for
yours. Whether you’re cooking for six or sixty, Family
Celebrations with the Cake Boss will make your next
family gathering an event to remember.
