Is buddy valastro from Italy?

Buddy Valastro is an accomplished fourth generation baker born into the business owned and operated by his parents. He was born in Hoboken, NJ and raised in an old fashioned Italian family.

At an early age, Buddy showed that he was a natural by displaying his amazing talent for baking and cake decorating. Aside from that passion, he loved spending quality time with his father as his apprentice. Countless hours were spent in the bakery where Buddy's father, a master baker, taught him all his old world secrets of baking. They were best friends and dreamed that together that they would make Carlo's Bakery a household name.

Unfortunately, at the age of 17, Buddy experienced the loss of his father, which led to more responsibilities being placed on Buddy's shoulders. He showed how well he could shine under pressure by continuing to produce quality work. With the help of his family, Buddy has taken Carlo's Bakery to new heights. His father's recipes and Buddy's innovative decorating and sugar art techniques have taken the business above and beyond his father's wildest dreams.

Today, Buddy is an accomplished master baker and cake decorator and star of the hit TLC reality show Cake Boss. He's often asked to demonstrate, compete, and teach his craft around the country. In his 10,000 sq foot state of the art facility, Buddy and his staff turn out thousands of wedding cakes, specialty cakes, and pastries weekly. His award winning designs have been featured numerous times in different bridal and baking magazines. Carlo's Bakery has also been featured in books, newspapers, such as, The New York Times, and television; most namely The Food Network. He and his cakes have also been featured on The Today's Show, Good Morning America, The View, and HBO's hit series, The Sopranos.

By uniting time-honored quality with modern innovative techniques, Carlo's Bakery is rated among the best. Their distinct old world taste is hard to come by. This is what sets Buddy apart from other sugar artists. Buddy hopes to one day pass on his passion and knowledge to fifth generation members of the Valastro family and continue the Carlo's Bakery legacy.

What did Italians bring to Canada?

they have fffff a lot of time

*******Contrablue adds:

(1) Systematically slaughtered and marginalized aboriginal peoples

(2) Built a modern industrial democracy

------------------

The above post is confusing American history with Canadian history. The slaughter of aboriginal peoples was never supported by colonizing governments, with the exception of the very earliest contacts.

It also ignores the fact that Aboriginals are also immigrants.

Immigrants built Canada. Without them it would be a wild uninhabited land.

What marlon brando movie was band in italy?

The movie Last Tango in Paris was released in Italy on December 15, 1972, grossing an unprecedented $100,000 in only six days. One week later, however, police seized all copies on the order of a prosecutor, who defined the movie as "self-serving pornography", and its director was put to trial for "obscenity". Following first degree and appeal trials, the fate of the film was sealed on January 26, 1976 by the Italian Supreme Court, which sentenced all copies to be destroyed. Bernardo Bertolucci was served with a four month suspended sentence in prison and had his civil rights revoked for five years. In 1987, 15 years after the film's release, a new ruling allowed the film to be released in Italy.

How long does it take to fly from Italy to India?

,

The best way to answer the question of how long it takes to fly from Italy to Hong Kong is to just look up flight times on an international airport service such as United. You didn't specify where in Italy you wanted to fly from, so I chose Rome (FCO) as the starting point and Hong Kong International as the ending point. The estimated amount of time in the air is about 13 hrs and 30 minutes, but due to the necessity of connecting flights, the entire trip takes about 36 hrs (a day and a half of travel).
