CELEBRITY pastry chef Buddy Valastro is keen to feature a young Malaysian girl in an upcoming episode of his reality television show, Cake Boss.

Valastro said this during a meet-and-greet session with seven-year-old Leah Choy after hearing about her inspiring story setting up a cupcake business since to help raise funds for her younger sister's medical needs.

However, Valastro said that this is still subject to the others involved in the production of the show.

“On my part, yes, but there are other channels that we have to go through,” he told Astro AWANI.

The TV star also promised a tour of his factory in the United States.

“When she visits the United States, I am going to give her a nice tour of the factory, we will do a bit of baking together.

"Hopefully I can help raise awareness on what’s going and raise some money,” he said.
