[10] In the fifth episode of the first season of Cake Dynasty, he explains that his oldest son, known as Junior, is the first "Buddy Valastro" to graduate from high school.

[11] Valastro grew the family bakery business into designer wedding cakes that were featured in bridal magazines.

"[14] Carlo's Bakery once had seven locations in New Jersey: Hoboken, Marlton, Morristown, Red Bank, Ridgewood, Wayne, and Westfield.

There are also bakeries in New York City; Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Uncasville, Connecticut; Orlando, Florida; Las Vegas; San Antonio, Texas, and Bloomington, Minnesota.

There previously were stores in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Westbury, New York; The Woodlands, Texas, and São Paulo, Brazil.

[16] His restaurant chain has grown in the city to include PizzaCake at Harrah's, and Buddy's Jersey Eats and The Boss Cafe at The Linq.

The company said Valastro would serve as brand ambassador for a "new line of zero- and lower-calorie sweeteners, and will work to help his fans make healthy lifestyle choices", and provide recipes using the product.

"We wanted to create palatable treats for dogs that are inspired by classic Italian entrees and desserts," said Lexie Berglund, President of The Pound Bakery.

[22] In 2023 he moved to A&E cable network and launched Cake Dynasty, which focuses on his children joining the business, and Legends of the Fork, which visits restaurants around the country.

[26] Until 2014, Valastro resided in East Hanover Township, New Jersey, with their four children: Sofia, Bartolo "Buddy" III, Marco, and Carlo.

His four older sisters and their husbands appear frequently in his television shows: Grace and Joey Faugno, Maddalena and Mauro Castano, Mary and Joe Sciarrone, and Lisa Valastro.

[23] Valastro supported and campaigned for Republican Governor Chris Christie in his 2013 re-election bid, and in 2014 baked his birthday cake.
