Buddy Valastro built a hospital this week … with cake dough.
The “cake chef” wanted to show his gratitude to the doctors who saved his right hand after it was maimed in a bowling accident, so he made a cake for them in the form of the hospital where he was treated.
Buddy posted a photo of his handiwork with the caption: “Check out the super special cake I made for Dr. Michelle Carlson, the nurses and the @hspecialsurgery team as a token of my immense gratitude!” adding, “It’s a replica of the #NYC main hospital. 🌃 I could never thank them enough for all they did to help me on this journey to a complete recovery ♥ ️”
As we reported, Buddy was bowling in September when he tried to loosen a bowling pin from the cage mechanism. His right hand stayed and compressed in the unit, which was lodged in the mechanism for 5 minutes. Her children ran into a garage and got a saw to cut the metal rod and free Buddy’s hand.
Buddy was ran to the hospital where doctors removed a rod and treated a horrible wound. A second surgery was performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson, who gave a special cry when he delivered the cake.

Buddy came to “TMZ Live” to talk about how is he sailing the cake business today. He’s using his left hand much more than usual, but it’s clearly working for him.
