Thank goodness. She did, however, offer him a position making cornbread and biscuits. That was the turning point in his career. Post-university he has degrees in philosophy and history from the University of Maryland , Duff attended the Culinary Institute of America. It was there that he discovered his serious cake-making skills. He then worked at The French Laundry, run by renowned chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Thomas Keller.
Duff first launched his cake business in , out of his Mount Vernon, Virginia apartment. There, he would make one cake a week, but as time went by his confections were becoming more in demand. Two years later he opened Charm City Cakes — this time out of a studio in Baltimore. Ace of Cakes was born in The show focused on the daily operations of Charm City Cakes as Duff and his equally fun and quirky staff went about their daily routines, constructing cakes using a variety of traditional and unconventional tools like belt sanders, blowtorches and power saws.
The show ran for 10 seasons over five years, coming to an end in On the contrary, he opened his second bakery, this time in Los Angeles, which has the same Baltimore charm just in sunnier conditions. And more famous people. Duff and his then girlfriend Johnna Colbry dated for three years before they got married on Jan.
Naturally, there were three cakes at the ceremony: an underwater-themed creation that hung from the ceiling, a traditional white wedding cake for Johnna and a meat cake for Duff.
That last concoction was memorable thanks to its bottom meatball tier, secondary meatloaf tier, lamb shawarma for the third tier, and scrapple on top.
Duff has always been willing to share the secrets to his success, which he does in cookbook form. In February Duff and Johnna welcomed baby girl Josephine to the world. I have a whole little family!

When she officially returns to work this spring with two-month-old son Spencer in tow , her new office will be in the former equipment storeroom for Ace of Cakes, the Food Network reality show that was filmed at the Remington bakery. He now has cake studios in Baltimore and Los Angeles. Picinich had been there longer than anyone else. Skip to content Contents.
The show followed the crew as they created some mega-cakes that were a little more than just edible. They created an event around the Skylanders video game, a Transformers cake that actually transformed, and a cake guitar that actually played music — but as cool as those cakes were the show was still incredibly short-lived.
Not surprisingly, it's made up almost entirely of chefs — and Goldman's on bass. They say the idea to put a band together was almost accidental, and it all started when Goldman was at an event with Union and Knead and Co Pasta Bar chef Bruce Kalman. Someone made the off-hand comment they looked like they were in a band, and it wasn't long before they were — along with a few other recruits.
It's not the first time Goldman's been on stage, either. He was in a handful of bands back in Baltimore, and says it's actually logical to jump from the kitchen to the stage. The dynamic is the same, as it's everyone working together to pull their weight to make a finished product greater than the sum of its parts.
And, he adds, everyone's affected by a single slacker, and it's something you have to love to do. It doesn't matter what kind of cake we're talking about here, we all know it's not complete without some ice cream. That makes it completely logical that it wasn't long after Ace of Cakes ended that Goldman was forming a new partnership — with Blue Bunny ice cream.
According to Eater , all of Goldman's flavors have been cake-inspired. They're essentially pieces of goodness — including cake — mixed with ice cream. Let's all say "yum! In , Food Network announced Goldman would be returning to their lineup. This time, he wasn't going to be baking and instead, he was going to be judging.

Goldman says he's been consistently amazed by the competition's young bakers, telling FN Dish , "It wasn't [just] good for kids, it was good, period.
These kids were better at 11 and 12 years old than I was when I graduated culinary school. Whatever Happened To Duff Goldman? Getty Images. Ace of Cakes was cancelled for another show Getty Images.
