Good news for those of you unable to stomach the wanton destruction of the trash the dress trend, but who still have a violence urge to purge. Now there’s a whole new way of getting out that post-wedding aggression: cupcake hockey.
Ok, maybe the concept’s not so new. I have memories of ritualistically sacrificing twinkies to a Louisville slugger with my brother when I was eight. And of course, it’s only applicable to the superhip chics poshly serving tiers of cupcakes in place of The Great Cake (but we all know those superhip chics are the ones who’d wanna do it anyway, the rebels.)The video is a clip from Ace of Cakes, a Food Network show featuring baker Duff Goldman:
(Just don’t call him Cupcake. )
Duff’s a pastry-chef/rock musician, which seems kind of like the librarian who moonlights as a stripper. In other words, badass! His instruments of choice (for baking, not rocking) are drill saws and blow torches, and he works in Baltimore at, where else? Charm City Cakes.
I think we need to send a Maryland bee to scout this cat out, maybe do a Weddingbee interview? Any volunteers?

I’ve also heard of things like playing football with Christmas fruitcakes, though the only person in my family who makes them makes them yummy. Better dried fruit (like cranberry, fig, candied ginger instead of mystery red and green fruit,) and a dousing of jack daniels a week for 2 or 3 months.
Ace of Cakes Rocks!!!
Ace of Cakes is the best show!! It’s on the Food Network–you should all check it out!
i love that show. i wish he could do my cake, alas living in cali that’s an impossibility. i would totally play cupcake hockey if i could comfortably hold a hockey stick. my inability to do so is so frustrating! lol
Ace of Cakes is the best! My boyfriend’s sister is getting married this summer and Duff is designing the groom’s cake for the wedding. (A jet ski!)
I love ace of cakes! They must cost a fortune though!
I love Ace of Cakes too!! I think a weddingbee interview is totally necessary, hehe =)
He’s our baker!! Mary Alice did our design meeting but then we met him when we went to pick up samples…soooo yummy!
I volunteer to do the interview…I need some more cake samples, anyways 
Seriously, you have my email.
Hey, the website sells t-shirts, hats, etc. Will last longer than the cake and wearing it to bed guarantees sweet dreams.

Am I the only one who thinks that show sucks? All they do it playdoh up the cakes. They don’t talk about baking and the flavors at all.
Gin: My FI was watching it the other night and seemed amused. But I don’t think he was into it for the flavors. More, the scary bald guy with sharp tools.
My co-worker and date twin is having Duff design her grooms cake (a replica of the diner where her and her FI went after their first date). I can not wait to see the pictures!!
As a Maryland bride, I wish I would of known of Duff before choosing my baker!
My friend tried to get him to design his 21st birthday cake but got rejected because he wasn’t important enough.
He also made 4 different golden retriever cakes for his alma mater, UMBC’s 40th birthday.
And he’s crazy expensive…
i attend UMBC and the department that I work for tries to get a UMBC alum to speak at a Petrovich Lecture each year. I believe they are trying to get him to come and speak. I definitely will not miss that one. =D
Gin- The show is fun to watch, but I can’t get over the amount of non-cake cakes! I wouldn’t be too excited over PVC pipes wrapped in rice crispy treats and fondant.
I wish I lived in Maryland because I would kill to interview Duff! I watch every new episode of “Ace of Cakes” and can’t get enough of him! His work is so unique and fun.
I’m a Maryland bee reader! Charm City makes the most amazing cakes, I hope to get mine from there.
I LOVE that show! the only fun part is watching the decorating - nobody really watches it for the flavors
