Dear Buddy Valastro.

Dear Buddy Valastro,

Hello! I write this letter here on my blog because the TLC website does not give me a visible 'Contact Us' link. On your current and seemingly most popular show, 'The Next Great Baker', I have a few many bones to pick but one is major.

When the cakes have so many hours spent on them, eight hours, ten hours, even a few days, I do not see the reason to destroying them with chainsaws, sledgehammers, steamrollers... Understandably, many of these cakes are not the best looking. However most of the cakes can be touched up and given to children or families or even charities who I am sure would be ever-grateful to receive them.
I personally feel sickened to watch all these cakes be destroyed. These are no doubt thousands and thousands of dollars worth of fondant, icing, cake powder even fireworks and hardware supplies.

If there is any real logical explanation to destroying what I see mostly to be such beautiful cakes on 'The Next Great Baker', then I would please love to hear what it is. Being not one who can afford such an expensive cake, as mentioned before, it does sicken me to see such skill and so much good material go to waste. The only real and true reason to wasting the cake is no gloves when a baker wears a bandage, no hairnets or sweatbands... A very, in my opinion, disgusting situation.
Please take this into consideration on your next season, if one is given to you, Im sure I and others would appreciate not watching cake wasted and seeing at least hairnets being worn.

Signed,
Haley.
