“Buddy Valastro’s Cake Dynasty” goes behind the scenes at Carlo’s Bake Shop alongside Buddy and his extended family as he works to balance the demands of a rapidly expanding business empire and demanding home life. With the whole family involved, the business is growing with restaurants, nationwide shipping, automated cake vending, and more while still staying true to their roots—baking thousands of cakes, Italian specialty desserts, and cookies each day while also creating the most brain-busting, innovative cakes around.

This season, Buddy tackles some of his biggest bakes to date including pieces celebrating the 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s legendary win, Neil Patrick Harris’s 50th birthday, a massive anniversary cake for Caesars Palace, and many more. On top of it all, Buddy works to remain a devoted husband and father of four kids growing up and navigating their next steps in the family business and outside of it.
