Duff Goldman is best known for his show, Ace of Cakes. After the growth of his show, he has opened another branch of his bakery, Charm City Cakes. The unique aspect of Duff is that he is not just a baker and cook. He is a graffiti artist and metal sculptor. He uses his incredible artistic skills throughout all his cakes. Now you can find Duff as a judge on the Food Network shows, Holiday Baking Championship, Spring Baking Championship, and Kids Baking Championship as well as in his various cookbooks (Food Network website – Duff’s Bio).

Duff and Buddy are both icons in the baking industry, yet very different. Duff takes his time and pays attention to detail whereas Buddy always is in the mindset of the bigger and grander, the better.
These two cake experts will go head to head in a six-week competition. Each episode features two challenges, one is a Bake–Off and the other being a Cake–Off.
