Let Them Eat Dinosaur Cake

The Serene One and I watched a few episodes of "Ace of Cakes" this weekend. It's a Food Network show about Duff Goldman and his cake baking business: Charm City Cakes. We were fascinated because he uses a lot of non-traditional elements in his cakes.

Example: In order to make a dinosaur cake, he sweated a bunch of copper pipes together for the infrastructure. He has an affinity for blowtorches and other industrial type tools.

We hopped onto the Charm City website which has fabulous examples of his work. Too bad we don't live in Baltimore. They only deliver locally.

The Serene One liked this:


This is one of my favorites:

I'm bummed I can't find a photo of the dinosaur. It was great.
