(EXCLUSIVE) We were in the factory of the CAKE BOSS in New York, where famous Buddy’s treats are produced (VIDEO) (PHOTO)

Comfortable, just like a real boss, in a rustic cake factory set in a Jersey City in New York, Buddy Valastro himself welcomes Telegraf, which went for a visit after the call of TV "Discovery".

The most famous chef in the world, the famous cake boss and the star of the show program "Cake Boss" (author’s comment - the seventh season of which we are watching on cable channel TLC) seems almost unreal in its environment - that romantic, we would say almost Victorian part of New York, away from the street noise, police sirens, skyscrapers and wide yellow cabs.

BADI VALASTRO, "KRALJ TORTI" SAVETUJE ČITAOCE TELEGRAFA: Evo kako da napravite slatkiš za 30 sekundi! (FOTO) (VIDEO)

We are walking down the narrow hall pausing beside shelves on which the cakes that only Buddy knows how to make were carefully placed.

OK, we admit it ... it comes to our mind to try, in passing, one piece of a cake with colored "feathers", but that would not be ok ... we are the guests.

Across the administration, in the very center, Buddy's office is located. Spacious, with a massive table in the middle, one armchair with engraved initials and closets filled with Valastro’s family photos.

In the corner, we learn, there is a shower cabin. However, we did not go there, but we did pass through a few narrow halls to go on a tour of the premises in which new orders are being busily prepared in aprons of "Carlo's Bakeshop," that were handed to us immediately.

It seems that the Buddy’s workers are accustomed to such visits ... with floury hands, smoothly with a smile on their faces they stretch the dough, put it in further processing in huge machines ...

Two girls in the corner seriously concentrate on the decoration. They say nothing is hard for them. They enjoy their work.

We still do not believe that there emerged all those "crazy" orders - from the cake in the shape of a circus, the Solar system, a football field, crate with bottles of wine, to the legendary cake of the "Transformers," which was 2.7 meters high, 3.4 meters wide and 4.2 meters long. Yes, this delicacy had a ton, and 18 people had been preparing it for three days!

One smallish room at the foot of the factory, we learn on the fly, is reserved for Buddy's mom. There she relaxes and takes care of her hair ...

We use the time to ask the case boss whether he remembers our meeting in June in Serbia?

He says, not only does he remember but Serbia remained in the best memories of this mini world during the promotion of the seventh season of the series "Cake Boss".

- We were in a tavern! Man, what kind of people are you Serbs! My wife and I still talk about you ... What the ambience and interior of the tavern... Not to mention rakija! I will definitely come again - eloquent Valastro starts a conversation with us, as we previously picked up a couple of tips on decorating cakes from his workers.

Wiping his hands on the apron, dirty by decoration mass, we cannot help but get the impression that occasional Buddy's image hangs in almost every hall ... Cake boss, however, has a ready answer to this.

- I know, my photos and paintings are hanging on every corner ... Sometimes I feel like a dictator! - adds mischievously Valastro plastically describing how far he is willing to go in order to make the cake as customers in show program "Cake Boss" ask of him.

- I'll never forget how my wife one evening, at three in the morning, called me on the phone: "My God, are you thinking of coming home! What are you doing so much at work "? And I answered thrilled: "Here I am making a big cake in the shape of a crab ... crab has just moved the pliers!" - says smiling Valastro, simply imposing our next question.

Can the new season of the show "Cake Boss" have bigger surprises that the "Transformers" cake?

- I have not yet made a cake that could claim the title of the biggest surprise. Such things indeed come when you least expect them. Let's say, I never thought I'd make the best wedding cake precisely for my sister! I did it so that it can take your breath away! It took no less than - 14 hours!

You made a cake to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frank Sinatra?

- We made a cake in retro mood ... We were thinking, what kind of cake would Frank order if we are in the sixties and he celebrates his birthday ... I did not want to be in the form of one of its records. That would be so predictable.

Have you persuaded your mother to let you make an erotic cake?

- No way! She'd kill me to make an erotic cake!

So, let your imagination run wild. How would an erotic cake look like if you are to be allowed to make it?

- You can make it look any way you want! I mean, I can make it the way you imagine. Otherwise, it's not that once we did not make erotic cakes (laugh). The most popular was a cake in the shape of a penis. We make a large sausage from a cake mixture and turn it to stand upright, and then on the left and right sides we lay round cookies. That is how we did that. Madness! But it really seemed realistic. Ouch, my mom would kill me if she could hear me now!

We walked your cake factory, which produces these great masterpieces. Do you have a secret place, where you do not let anyone in, that is only yours?

- I have a favorite place - a shower in my office. Well, there I can be alone and enjoy!

Last time you advised Telegraf readers how to make a cake for 30 seconds ... This time we ask you, how can we, slightly modest people, make a good cake if we only have flour, sugar, three eggs and butter?

- What did you say? Flour, sugar, eggs ... Yeah, well, I'm not sure that you can make a good cake with that, but you can make good dough. And that's something! For a good cake, though, you need some extra ingredient (laugh).

You cooked for numerous celebrities. Do you still stand by the fact that Oprah Winfrey is the best person among them, that you met?

- You bet! Indeed I cooked for many celebrities. I made the cake for Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney Spears. I repeat that some of them are so humble and wonderful people while others are became bigheaded and overnight forgot where came from went... I really would not take walnuts from their hands ... Oprah Winfrey is one of the most positive examples. The woman with both feet firmly on the ground, modest and in person she is pretty much how you see her on TV! Whenever she meets me she ask about my health, my mother, hugs me ... Oprah is the inspiration for me to regardless of fame or social status always remain who I am and never to forget who I am and where I started!

You mean, not to forget that this whole story began in the now widely famous "Carlo's bakery" with your father when you were only 11 years old?

- After more than two decades of development, 10 bakers, show programs watched by millions I still think that the bakery run my family and I differs from others in that we continue to do things in the old, traditional way. In that we're unique. Most importantly, whatever you do, do not be afraid of success and do not give up! You have to know that you are going to work hard you absolutely must do well to get well back!

Here we come to you! What quality has brought you here?

- The fact that I'm my father's son! He taught me to do everything in the traditional way. Because of him I am here where I am.
