You don't have to hop on a plane to New Jersey to sample cake from a certain famous Italian family. The Cake Boss is bringing his towering slices to Houston.

Buddy Valastro, known for creating towering cake sculptures on TLC's "Cake Boss," has joined the ghost kitchen craze with Buddy V's Cake Slice, offering single pieces of Boss-approved confections throughout the country.

Slices of Valastro's Fudge, Confetti, Vanilla Rainbow, Red Velvet, and Black & White Fudge cake are available for delivery for $8.95. The cakes are baked in Valastro's flagship Carlo’s Bakery in New Jersey and shipped across the country.

Sadly there's no option to order a cake shaped like a giant sphinx or BB-8, but maybe someday.

Ghost kitchens are delivery-only restaurants that began popping up during the pandemic and have seen varied success. Celebrity chef David Chang's fried chicken sandwich ghost kitchen, Fuku, ended up being a nightmare for hungry Houstonians who experienced long wait times, missing items and cold food when Fuku first launched in town.

Buddy V's Cake Slice has locations in Houston and The Woodlands.

Houstonians can order their slices at BuddyVsCakeSlice.com.
