When Duff Goldman, Food Network's "Ace of Cakes," envisioned
Charm City Cakes in Baltimore nearly a decade ago, his goal
was to make wonderful cakes for friends and family. As word
spread about his fabulous creations, his dream grew into a
nationally renowned business staffed by a team of talented
professionals, including musicians, artists, and creative
souls with experience in architectural modeling, graphic
design, deejaying, coffee making, performance art, dog
walking, sculpture, painting and more. Aces of Cakes:
Inside the World of Charm City Cakes is a celebration of
the bakery that started it all. This colorful scrapbook is
loaded with stories about Duff's early days as a graffiti
artist turned young chef, his successes and hilarious
disasters, and the amazing team he built step-by-step.
Through candid interviews and profiles and hundreds of
photographs, illustrations, and collages, the book shows how
energy, inspiration, collaboration, and a bit of luck can
conspire to help anyone achieve their creative vision. Of
course, at the center of this stunning book are Charm City's
Cakes. From the simple to the breathtakingly complex, Duff
shows off some of the bakery's more unusual techniques and
tools that shape their famous creations. He also offers a
behind-the-scenes look at his Food Network show, shares his
most incredible customer stories and requests, and reveals
some of the bakery's favorite cake facts and tips--along
with a comprehensive episode guide and a monster cake
montage featuring seven years' worth of the bakery's
astonishing cake creations.
