The "Cake Boss" is now a Broadway leading man.  "It’s like the American dream," Buddy Valastro, the owner of Carlo’s Bake Shop, told Fox News Digital on Monday, just weeks after the celebrity baker quietly opened a new flagship location in Times Square in New York City.

"When you walk around Times Square, you just feel that vibe, the people, the energy. You get that feeling of hope and understand why anybody who comes to America has to see it." Valastro and his family-owned Hoboken, New Jersey bakery rose to national fame on the strength of the former TLC reality series "Cake Boss."
