Buddy Valastro, the New Jersey pastry chef who stars in the long-running reality TV show “Cake Boss,” was left with a mangled fist after his right hand got caught in a bowling pin mechanism and was repeatedly lanced Sunday, his executive assistant said.

The middle of Valastro’s hand was impaled three times by a metal rod during the grisly accident, Nicole Monan said in a statement.

Valastro’s sons rushed to assist their father, cutting through the rod with a saw, and the baker later received surgeries at Morristown Medical Center in northern New Jersey and at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, Monan said.

In an Instagram post, Valastro, who runs Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken, shared an image of his hand buried in a cast.

“I was involved in a terrible accident a few days ago,” Valastro, 43, said in the Wednesday post. “What do you think of my new accessory?”
