Cake Boss shows impaled hand for first time Buddy Valastro, New Jersey’s Cake Boss, was interviewed on TMZ recently and video shows his hand for the first time since his bandages and cast came off. It’s far better than the day his hand was literally impaled by a piece of a metal from a bowling pin setter in his home, but still not pretty. He now has a pretty crazy scar and still is struggling with pain and range of motion. He told TMZ how he’s had to learn to become left-handed. Even though he’s doing somewhat okay, he still may require more surgeries.
