Former 'Cake Boss' Cast Member Tone-Tone Eyed For Show Takeover?

It's no secret that 'Cake Boss' is currently in a state of dismay. Following the Honey Boo Boo scandal last month, TLC has found itself in a new jam. Buddy, the show's leading man, found himself arrested this week for drunk driving. This stunt may land another TLC staple in the garbage, but one blogger has an idea that could salvage the show, and point it in a new and interesting direction. Enter: Tone-Tone.

Tony "Tone-Tone" Albanese was a cast member of the original season of 'Cake Boss'. He worked with the family at the bakery for a while before leaving the show to start up his own business, The Pastryarch. Since his time on TLC he has made a name for himself on shows such as Cupcake Wars, and creating works of edible art for major stars like Madonna.

Earlier this week, an anonymous blogger on the site 2paragraphs.com has come up with a creative solution to put Tone Tone in Buddy's spot to shift some of the negativity away from the franchise. The article also contains a mention of the public post Tony made on the situation, calling out the so called "fake wholesome family guy" persona the network had set up.

Do I think that they will cast Tony in place of Buddy? No, sadly I don't. But if the show is canceled or put on indefinite hiatus, it would be a great way for the show to fill our cake-less void by giving Tone Tone his own show. And the reality star has New York celebrities and icons amping up the idea, such as long time supporter Adam Barta.

As of the posting of this article, nothing has been said officially from TLC on either the topic of Tony Albanese or the state of the show. I will update with more info as it becomes available.
