Ace of Cakes

There is a popular reality TV show in the United States called, Ace of Cakes. This show is broadcast from a famous bakery called Charm City Cakes, which is located in Baltimore, Maryland. Charm City Cakes is not your average cake bakery. Duff is the owner of the bakery, and his motto is: “You dream it, we bake it, you eat it.” Duff can design and create any cake you can imagine and his cakes are distinguishable from any other bakery’s. Duff and his staff try to create cakes that are beautiful, delectable and as out of the ordinary as possible. 

For example, some famous cakes that they have made include: 
•	a large replica of the Hubble Space Telescope for NASA ( The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
•	a perfect, edible model of Wrigley Field, a famous baseball stadium in the U.S.

Some of the Charm City Cakes are 6 feet tall and weigh hundreds of pounds. Many of them take hours of even days to build. Some of the cakes look so much like the real object that you might not want to eat them! For example, they can make a cake that looks like a fire truck or a fish lying on its side. There seem to be no limits to what Duff and his staff can do! But can these cakes possibly taste good? You bet! A cake can be made in almost any flavor you choose. You may pick out a traditional flavor like chocolate, yellow, or raspberry or you might choose a more unique flavor, such as peanut butter and jelly, or ginger and green tea. The bakery has a list of 40 flavors that they have used before, and they are always experimenting with new flavors. 

But Duff’s skill does not come cheap. He is in great demand and some of his cakes can cost thousands of dollars. In fact, each cake costs a minimum of $1,000. But one thing is for sure, it will taste great, and although it may vanish quickly, it will be remembered by everyone who saw it.
