Ace Of Cakes - Baltimore, MD
Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 11:38PM
So where do I start? We were on Ace of Cakes. Weird huh, I mean I've always marveled at their cakes and everyone on that show was so quirky and cool. Were we really just on Ace of Cakes?
I can't begin to tell you how nice these folks are. It was just an amazing experience all around. To be totally honest with you, we knew they were making us a cake. However, we had NO idea that it was going to be a CAKE! I mean c'mon a life size banjo cake with artwork and all and real strings!?!? Beautiful!
Now I'm not sure if you know this but Bob is a huge fan of this show. So much so that he knew all the in's and out's of the shop. It was great to see Bob like a kid in a candy store. So I just have to post this picture of Bob and Duff.
So the big question everyone is asking . . . "How was the cake? Really?" Everyone always seems to put the "Really" at the end. Would I lie to you? The cake was simply delicious. You can't make a successful cake empire by just making pretty cakes. At least not to the scale the folks over at Charm City Cakes have built an empire. The cakes have to be tastey and they have to be perfect. And I feel that they definitely strive for perfection at Charm City.
The chocolate was moist and the icing I felt like was just straight up chocolate cream. HEAVY CREAM! It made my mouth water and there really was no way to stop eating it. Up until of course you realize you have to play a show and you're starting to feel the walls of your stomach push against your western belt buckle. So yes REALLY the cake was delicious and I would eat another one right now!
Thank you again Mary-Alice and everyone over at Charm City Cakes for making this an unforgettable experience.

Are you all going to be part of an episode? I'd love to watch!
Great pictures, Joe. I like the extra insight too. It was so cool to see you guys on one of my favorite shows.
Thanks for the pictures, Joe. The episode was excellent!
This is great! I was so excited when I received the email that you guys were going to be on the show! It was definitely a treat!
Hi Joe, I just recently discovered your music on NPR and am now a huge fan. I was wondering what the song was called that you played at Charm City Cakes. It sounded beautiful.
HOW COOL! That is so awesome!
What an intricate, yet delicious-looking design.
Awesome pics!! Looks like so much fun!!
Hi Joe!
I hope you got the chance to check out Casa Nueva in Athens before you played last night! If not, you'll just have to come back and give it a try. The show was phenomenal - thanks for a great performance!

Behind the Scenes
Found a blog post (http://www.click3x.com/home.php/blog/detail/358) about the new promo's for Ace of Cakes, its pretty cool how they show the concepts and design boards for the deck of cards idea, can't believe it took them till the 8th season to connect the word "ACE" with a deck of cards.
