\"\"<\/a>I feel a little guilty admitting this, but I literally could watch the Food Network all day long.\u00a0 One of the shows I really enjoy is Ace of Cakes<\/em>, where the folks at Charm City Cakes make the most unique desserts you can imagine.\u00a0 So naturally when I was looking through the cookbook section of the library a few days ago and stumbled upon Ace of Cakes: Inside the World of Charm City Cakes<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>by Duff Goldman and Willie Goldman, I had to pick it up.\u00a0 I really just wanted to look at the pictures of all the amazing cakes they have made on the show, but I found myself really\u00a0reading through the book because there was so much interesting information about how Charm City Cakes got started and what inspires the staff of bakers and decorators.<\/p>\n

The coolest part of the book is\u00a0definitely the pictures of all the crazy creations they have made over the years.\u00a0 I wish I were as creative as these people!\u00a0 Their cakes are like nothing I have ever seen before.\u00a0 There are cakes\u00a0to please every personality type and every interest you could have, and a lot of them don’t even look like cakes!\u00a0 The full page of Star Wars themed cakes really warmed my little geek heart (though I was sad that they didn’t include my favorite Ace of Cakes<\/em> creation, the cake in the form of Han Solo frozen in carbonite).\u00a0 For the creative types, the book will inspire you to try out some new and cool things with cakes.\u00a0 I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to bake or enjoys watching the Food Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
