The renowned Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, and his wife, Lisa, stole the show at the Daytime Emmy Awards, celebrating a remarkable comeback four years after a devastating hand injury.
Buddy, 47, and Lisa, his wife of 21 years, exuded elegance on the red carpet. Buddy later won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Culinary Host for his A&E series, Legends of the Fork.
This triumph marks a significant milestone for the culinary artist, whose career was jeopardized in 2020 when his right hand was impaled by a malfunctioning bowling pinsetter, resulting in the temporary loss of full use of his middle finger.
