OMG Cakes, squee!

Hi Aces of Cakes Fans,
          Last Summer, when our kitchen was being remodelled, I made some fondant cookies, using Duff's fondant & cookie cutters; at 1st, I made them just to snack on, just to see if it would work.  I then made some for the volunteers at the Snowline Hospice Thrift Store, then made several for my trip to Atlanta; they were popular & some wanted to know how I made them, so I told them.  I made some during the Fall months, then left it alone, till I wanted to use them again.

This past Holiday season, when I was making different kinds of butter cookies, I looked at the fondant to see if I wantede to use it; I noticed some spots on it & thought, `Hmmmmm, may be I can get the spots out & still use it.  I then forgot about it & wondered if it's still good; I do plan on checking it out, getting rid of any spots, then see if it's any good for me to use.  If so, then I'll use it & put it in the refrig (or freezer), till I use it again; if not, I'll throw it out, get some more & put any unuseab le portions in the freezer.

I'd like to know your thoughts on this & any suggestions you may have;  also, I'd like to know what kinds of things you create with the fondant & what you do with the portions you have left. 

Brand new and piping hot... In case you all didn't know, apparently, according to this entry in the Charm City Cakes site blog, Duff has come up with his own line of cake decorating products.
According to that entry, they are available at Michaels stores.
However, I just saw mentioned on the Charm City Cakes twitter that there is now a web site Duff.com, which also appears to sell his products, (or some of them at any rate,) as well as gives some info.
So, for all you aspiring decorators out there, you too can try your hand at masterful, crazy, awesome, cake creations! =)

So, I'm sitting here watching my guilty pleasure, Jon & Kate Plus Eight, and what do I see but a preview for the new season where Kate [I didn't see Jon... Surprise!] and the kids go to Charm City Cakes on her birthday! :] Just wondered if anyone else had heard anything.

Found the link!

i had a question regarding two episodes. does anyone know which season/what episode these two events happened?:

1. ben and katherine are pretending to have their own cooking show. it was so corny and funny.
2. geof creates a cake that ends up being taller than him, i think it was for a newly established business? ben helps him deliever it. now that i think about it, i might be mixing up episodes. all i know is that when ben was helping deliver the cake, he was all "oh man, going to have a panic attack!"

thank you!

For all those who've been asking, Season 2 of Ace of cakes is now available on DVD!
Find it on the Food Network Store:

Please buy it so that they keep putting out the rest so that those of us who can't afford cable can still watch our favorite bakers being awesome!!

Hey guys, I'm new to the community but not to the show :) I was wondering if there is any Ace of Cakes fanfic out there? Doesn't matter if they're drabbles, gen, slash, het, I'd love to read anything. I did a bit of googling and searching in the usual places but I've only found Ace of Cakes!Bandom fic, lol.

Any links hidden away in your memories/bookmarks? Would love any links you could send my way.

Thanks!

Just in case anyone hasn't caught it yet, new Ace of Cakes starts this Thursday at 10/9 central.


Also, anyone here have any website space? I'm putting together a fanlisting for Ace of Cakes, and I.. Don't have anywhere to put it anymore. I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could give me some space, I swear I won't take up much room.

I don't remember where I heard about this originally but I finally got a chance to watch this video of Geoff singing an amazing song in the CCC bakery. If anyone has any idea what the name of the song is or where I could maybe get a copy of it for my mp3 player or anything in that vein I'd really appreciate it. :)

For all who may be interested...

The Food Network Addict blog has an interview with Duff, Geof, and Mary Alice from when they were all at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival this past February.
click here to read if interested. I'm not sure how much new info you'll learn but...

Enjoy.

About the episode:
From Food Network Site:


"Before Ace of Cakes became an overnight sensation on the Food Network, the patriarch Duff Goldman, and his eccentric supporting staff, embarked on a unique
journey to the spotlight. Chef Duff's background is a story of childhood rebellion, art, music and culinary adventures — including a raucous stint at Burger
King, a wild ride at a prestigious pastry school, and a job at one of the best restaurants in the world. His diverse experiences and determination led
Duff to hire his friends and open one of the most creative, successful and entertaining bakeries in the nation: Charm City Cakes."

Just thought I'd share the info.
Have an awesome Friday!

Peace...
