No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!
My kids are always in the kitchen with me - I bring them to the bakery and let them decorate cakes, and they also try to help me and my wife, Lisa, cook dinner at night.
Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories.
You always help out a local businessperson.
I would never talk bad about anybody, even if they have something derogatory to say about me. I'm the bigger person.
The key to a good meal is simplicity and the right seasoning.
Oh, my wife is a wonderful cook. She comes from a food-loving Italian family - her father owned a pizzeria!
I looked her in the eye, and I told her, 'Ma, I owe everything to you, and I couldn't be who I am without you. You're my No. 1 girl, and I'll always love you.' And I got to say my piece, I got to say goodbye to her - which was tough.
Sometimes, I pinch myself. Through everything, its about hard work... believing in yourself and in the American dream. Believe that you can make something out of yourself.
All Italians got a refrigerator in the garage. That's what we do.
The television has opened a lot of doors for me. I am very successful at what I do, and I live a good life. It's not something that I'm embarrassed of. I think it's something people should want to aspire to.
