This morning Travelstart joined the live-studio audience KFM interview with cannoli king Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro. Not only did he approve of the winning melk tert he sampled, but he is a huge fan of the Mother City. He said: “Waking up this morning and seeing Table Mountain,\u00a0Cape Town really is one of the most amazing places on earth.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Cape Town is one of those places- I’ve traveled the world, and\u00a0you’re\u00a0mesmerized. It’s probably one of the nicest places I’ve ever been.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Buddy traveled to Cape Town with his son to attend\u00a0The Good Food and Wine Show<\/a> taking place from the 21 – 24 May at the CTICC in Cape Town. He says he tries not to be away from his family for more than 5 days at a time and that he hopes to come back to Cape Town with them to film at a later stage. Ryan, from KFM, asked if he would consider opening a cake shop in Cape Town, “you never know what can happen”<\/em> was his reply.<\/p>\n

The Cake Boss’ South African look-alike also attended the KFM breakfast show. Tyrone says he was there because his daughter had told him how much he looked like the Cake Boss. He’d spent the night before on Youtube honing his Hoboken accent and his badda bings badda booms.<\/p>\n
