Today we will introduce you to the hospitable and creative confectioner Duff Goldman, born in 1974. In fact, he is not the typical white apron confectioner one would imagine.
He often describes himself as an ordinary rocker, although he is a real star in culinary circles. It is no coincidence that he is called the King of Cakes, and his popularity comes from the fact that he hires eccentric rock musicians in his bakery Charm City Cakes.
Hardly anyone can date chronologically when Duff's dizzying culinary career begins. When he was four years old, his mother found him watching a cooking show on television, armed with a huge chopper.
In second grade, he cut off part of his finger while shaping a pumpkin for Halloween. The crazy teenager's antics don't stop there, but suffice it to say that he started cooking professionally at the age of 14. So, today he is one of the most famous confectioners in the United States.
In 2000, he decided it was time to start his own business in his hometown of Baltimore. He hires people who have graduated from various institutes and schools for confectioners, trusts friends and so the great journey to the world of fame begins.
His creative team can create a cake in any shape, and customers call the end products wonders of bread, cream and fondant. Duff Goldman is not worried about the eccentric orders for the shape or the size of the cake. Sometimes, to realize his ideas, he cuts wooden boards, welds metal parts and uses fireworks.
For the 2007 premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Duff made a cake that is an exact copy of Hogwarts School of Magic and Magic. All of Hollywood was amazed by the creation, and Daniel Radcliffe himself said that the cake was the size of the model used in the filming.
For his father's birthday, Duff Goldman created a unique explosive cake in the perfect model of a fighter jet. In this way, he wants to show his father that he did not invest his money in culinary school in vain.
