Buddy Valastrojust proved he can pull off an expert prank with his baking chops.
On Thursday, theCake Bossstar, 45, shared a “Cake Boss Collab” on Instagram with chefNick DiGiovanni. The TikToker uses his platform to share helpful culinary techniques and cooking collaborations with celebrities and chefs, includingNeil Patrick HarrisandGordon Ramsay. (DiGiovanni was a contestant on season 10 of Ramsay’sMasterChef.)
Valastro and DiGiovanni’s mashup was shot in the quick and choppy style of DiGiovanni’s usual TikToks as they each whipped up their own sandwich.
“Let’s make a crispy chicken sandwich,” DiGiovanni said at the start of the video.
Using their own technique and ingredients, the two chefs went back and forth in different frames listing off ingredients from pickle juice to buttermilk. At some points, Valastro approached the crispy chicken sandwich challenge in a laid-back way.
“Nice and crispy,” Valastro said as he lifted his chicken from hot oil. He then piled up his sandwich atop a bun while narrating the order of his sandwich ingredients: “Bun, chicken, pickles, mayo!”
With a friendly “Salut!” from Valastro, the pair toasted using their respective chicken sandwiches before they both took a bite. Immediately, DiGiovanni spit his out.
“Oh look it’s cake!” Valastro quipped. DiGiovanni hilariously crumbled the hyper-realistic chicken sandwich.
“How the f— did he do that?” DiGiovanni said before Valastro handed him another tasty-looking plate of food.
“Don’t forget your fries, my friend,” he added. DiGiovanni, who did not look amused when he bit into the fries, spit them out. “Those are fondant!” Valastro explained.
Through mouthfuls, DiGiovanni said, “It’s all cake.”
Quite the prankster, Valastro closed out the hilarious video with a wink. “How’d that sandwich taste?” he said. The Food Network star definitely had fun adding his signature cake stamp onto this collab.
DiGiovanni isn’t the only person Valastro has featured cooking alongside him lately. Last week, he raved about hisdaughter Sofiaas she decorated several festive Easter cookies in the Carlo’s Bakery kitchen. The 19-year-old piped white and pink flower cookies as she explained different designs to her dad.
“Look at my @fiav_21 taking the reins in the kitchen to decorate our annual Easter Cookies! 🐰🌸😋 @carlosbakery” Valastro wrote inthe post.
