I do too. I used to watch that show Sweet Dreams too, but I don't think it comes on anymore. The other show Sugar Rush is gone too.....that one didn't last long at all.

for a second i thought the "ANT" part of the word said something else...i was like, that is GROSS and WTF is "EXCELLANUS"?!?!

Right now it's my favorite show on that channel.

Anxiety said:

I just realised that the ANT part is not what he was talking about.

The funny thing is NO ONE in the room noticed anyways.

I'm (being totally serious) I AM like one of the smartest of my friends.

Okay duff is awesome at the "industrial art" side of decorating but to be honest, this coming from a cake artist, some of his cakes are 30% or more inedible! Now I understand doing that on one or two cakes but my policy is EVERYTHING on the cake should be edible and beautiful.

I consider my work cake artistry with a high value on quality and taste of the cake and the presentation. I think he focuses more on the look of things

Erin and I were saying that last night, a lot of the time half the cake is cardboard tubes and shit. And they use way too much of that nasty stuff he covers the cakes in, cake should have FROSTING

I am brewing up a surprise for you orgers very soon.....

pasquerto said:

you're sending us all cakes??!!

Those cakes are incredible, but is the thick fondant they cover those things with tasty?

I always wondered that too. I imagine it tasting like flour paste for some reason.

My future husband was on that show...

If its Wilton brand it is AWFUL. Pettinice, satin ice, and fondux taste great. I make my own marshmellow fondant for non fondant lovers. It tastes yummy

applekisses said:

yep, me too.

Stax said:

Some are really, really yummy. Some are a bit too thick. They can be covered with a marizipan-like frosting also that is YUMMMMMYYYYY!

CarrieMpls said:

What's the consistancy like? Is it chewy?

There's no way in hell I could watch a show about cake Cake is my WEAKNESS, even this thread is fucking me up!!

But they look amazing I wonder what they hell they used to get the finish on that paint can

pasquerto said:

Wilton is a lowest-common-demoninator cheap fondant and tastes it! One should not use 'food' or baking ingredients which can be bought at a hobby store.

Marshmallow fondant is indeed delicious! Rolled white chocolate is a nice fondant alternative as well.

I think I love you

ArielB said:

aww thanks!

ArielB said:

omg! match made in heaven!!!

they're fun to look at but I wouldn't want to eat any of those. They handle the cakes and the fondant too much to the point where it kind of grosses me out. I don't want to eat some icing that someone's been rolling around in their hands and digging their fingers into it to sculpt it.

I liked this one:

Can't believe I overlooked this.

pasquerto said:

That is so cool you're a cake artist. My aunt's one too.....but not like Duff & Co. though. I guess it depends on the type of cake you request. Charm City Cakes have traditional ones too.





I wouldn't request a traditional one though. The crazier the better.

Tom said:

Yeah, I think about that too. One episode they were transporting this flamingo cake and they were having a hard time getting it in the van. No way it went untouched the whole trip there. Then it was starting to rain too. That was a show piece I think though. I'd like to think they're not like that with regular cakes.

CalhounSq said:

Any dessert is my weakness That paint can is a favorite of mine too. The shine on it is pretty cool too. They made a film cans cake with the same silver finish too.

lazycrockett said:

Yeah, that one is nice.

WillyWonka said:

I've never had a cake with fondant. I'm sure as expensive as their cakes are, they'd use only the best. If not then they are ripping people off.

I hate it didn't last long
