Charm City Cakes was started in March of 2000 when Pastry Chef Duff Goldman was becoming inundated with requests by friends and acquaintances to make wedding and other occasion cakes. Since then, Charm City Cakes has done cakes for some notable musicians (the band Good Charlotte and various members of Clutch), diplomats, other notable chefs (including Steve Mannino, Executive Chef of Todd English's Olives in Washington D.C.). Charm City Cakes is a small operation and for good reason! At Charm City Cakes, we believe that your wedding day is probably the most memorable day of your entire life and we try to make a cake that will only make that day that much richer of an experience. Every cake we design, bake, and build is done completely from scratch and everything is completely 100% hand made. We do not use anything that is pre-packaged. Everything, from the cakes and the frostings to the fillings and the decorations are done in our own shop. And all our cakes are always fresh, never frozen! Whenever possible, we use organic ingredients, including flour, sugar, eggs, and any fruit that might go into a filling. Baker/Owner Duff Goldman was a Pastry Chef before he was a Cake Designer so you can be sure that every cake that comes from Charm City Cakes is as delicious on the inside as it is beautiful on the outside. At Charm City Cakes, we also believe that there are no rules when it comes to wedding cakes. They don't have to be white cakes with white frosting anymore. We have done cakes in flavors such as Thai Iced Coffee, Peaches and Cream, Ginger with a Green Tea buttercream, and the finest Chocolate cake in this hemisphere. Also, at Charm City Cakes we know and understand how stressful planning a wedding is. That's why when you order a cake from Charm City Cakes, you will only deal with one person. Chef Duff prides himself on being the easiest, most stress-free person you will have to deal with during your wedding experience. Chef Duff does everything from the initial consultation to the design to the baking to the set-up to the dishes, and there are no set-up fees or delivery charges or stand rental fees. Getting a cake from Charm City Cakes is, literally, a piece of cake! Charm City Cakes is not a Kosher-certified establishment, but chef Duff knows the laws of Kashrus and can make pareve as well as dairy cakes. Duff can also accommodate any vegetarian and even vegan requests, as well as any dietary restrictions or concerns you may have. At Charm City Cakes, we are working hard to make you the best cake we can, and the only limit is our imagination.
