*** OK, guys this is the COOLEST group of people!!! I found them one night channel surfing and for some strange reason I ended up on the Food Channel (which is odd since I don't cook and cant turn on the oven or microwave by myself- another story for another day!)They make the most awesome cakes imaginable! Check out the website
http://www.charmcitycakes.com. Chef Duff and his merry band of players are true geniuses of cakes. If you can dream it, they can bake it! Both Brendan and I are CCC fans. We really just love to listen to Duff giggle and laugh! ROFLMAO...... Now if they only delivered to California..... ***
Charm City Cakes was started in March of 2000 when Chef Duff had tired of wandering the country and decided to settle in Baltimore. At first, Chef Duff was just making a few cakes for friends and family, but as word got out about his uncommon creations, business picked up fast. In March of 2002, Chef Duff was getting so inundated with cake orders that he decided to fling off the oppression of his day job and make cake baking his full time gig! He quickly outgrew his home kitchen and two bakeries; in August of 2005 he bought a 6,000 square foot cake compound in Remington. Today, Charm City Cakes has grown to a staff of eleven friends who make cakes, listen to music, and eat a lot of sushi.
Here at Charm City Cakes, we are motivated by constantly trying to outdo ourselves by making cakes that are beautiful, challenging, and as out-of-the-ordinary as possible! Our inspiration comes from everywhere: art, fabric, furniture, architecture, landscapes, science, music, anything! Most of all, our inspiration comes from you! Each cake is individually designed to match you, your personality, and the theme of the occasion you are celebrating.
We only have one rule at Charm City Cakes, and that is whatever we do, we must have fun! Charm City Cakes is a very relaxed, creative environment – and that spirit is reflected in every cake we bake. Our staff is a ragtag group of musicians, artists, and creative souls with experience in architectural modeling, graphic design, sculpture, painting, DJ-ing, coffee slingin’, performance art, massage therapy, and waitressing. Our designs are unique, our flavors are unusual and delicious, and our demeanor is chill but professional. Our cakes are all individually baked to order, and every cake is always fresh, never frozen. We have over 40 flavors, and experiment with new ones all the time - - if you don’t see it on our list, don’t be afraid to ask, ‘cause we can probably make it.
There are no limits to what we can do here at Charm City Cakes. You dream it, we’ll bake it, you eat it.
