Bakers and pastry chefs sometimes find inspiration in the most unusual places, and pop culture is proving to be incredibly popular these days. We’ve seen many cake artists craft desserts inspired by our favorite movies and TV shows, but no one is doing it better than Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.
If you enjoy watching Food Network, you might remember Goldman’s show Ace of Cakes. It introduced him to a wider audience and led to several more TV shows in the future, but creating unique desserts with his team at Charm City Cakes has always been his biggest passion.
“Duff and his intrepid team of cake decorators churned out cakes the world had never seen before: cakes with sound, cakes with smoke, cakes with motorized moving components, life-sized baby elephant cakes—no cake was too crazy to tackle,” Goldman explains on his official website.
In addition to making cakes for countless high-profile clients over the years, Goldman turned Charm City Cakes into an Instagram sensation with 260,000 followers and counting. His cakes come in all shapes and sizes, but pop-culture-themed desserts are the biggest hit with his fans, paying homage to popular franchises such as Harry Potter, Batman, and more.
