Charm City Cakes

In 2002 when his dream of slaying guitar in a rock band wasn’t paying the bills, Chef Duff Goldman used his talents as a classically trained pastry chef and metal craftsman to found Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, MD. Duff and his intrepid team of cake decorators churned out cakes the world had never seen before: cakes with sound, cakes with smoke, cakes with motorized moving components, life-sized baby elephant cakes—no cake was too crazy to tackle.

It wasn’t long before Duff’s work caught the eye of the Food Network, where the hit series Ace of Cakes was born.

Ace of Cakes

As the star of the hit Food Network show Ace of Cakes, Duff invited viewers inside Charm City Cakes, where he and his team of pastry chefs and artists created spectacular, one-of-a-kind cakes that pushed the boundaries of edible art.

Duff’s larger-than-life personality and incredible skill set have made him a beloved figure in the culinary world. Beyond Ace of Cakes, Duff has expanded his television presence with several other Food Network shows, including Duff Takes the Cake and Buddy vs. Duff. He also shares his expertise as a mentor on Kids Baking Championship and as a judge on Holiday Baking Championship and Spring Baking Championship. His latest show, Ace of Taste, showcases his talents as a classically trained chef, offering fresh takes on crowd-pleasing recipes that the whole family can enjoy.

Bestselling Author

In addition to his television career, Duff is the New York Times bestselling author of four books. His newest books Super Good Baking for Kids and Super Good Cookies for Kids inspire the next generation of bakers to explore their creativity in the kitchen.
