Duff Goldman Speaker & Booking Information

Duff Goldman was born December 17, 1974 and is the star of the Food Network reality television show Ace of Cakes. He is a baker and food artist who has been described as both audacious and creative. He owns a cake shop in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., known as Charm City Cakes. His work and talent have also been featured on the network television special Food Network Challenge competitions and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2000, Goldman opened his own business called Charm City Cakes. Initially, his cake sales began as he worked out of his house in Charles Village with the help of two assistants he employed. As the requests for his unusual cakes increased, he hired more employees – many of whom did not have any culinary experience as pastry chefs, but were instead experienced painters, architects, and sculptors. Today, Goldman's bakery shop is unusual in that blow torches, as well as power tools such as grinders and drills, are used to help form the underlying supports of the unique edible creations. With his crew, Goldman has done unusual cakes such as the likenesses of Elvis in the form of a 3-foot butter cream sculpture, an anatomically correct ear, a smoking volcano, a three-dimensional German Shepherd, as well as a replica of a CAT scan machine, a jeep, and an edible Wrigley Field. Goldman has made cakes for a number of celebrities including Tom Clancy, the cast of Lost, Sir Roger Moore.
