Ep 9. Cake-Tastrophe

Ace of Cakes is a popular reality TV show that follows the daily operations of Charm City Cakes located in Baltimore, Maryland. This show spotlights the creative and innovative cakes baked by the staff under the guidance of their owner, Duff Goldman.

Episode 9 of Season 2, named Cake-Tastrophe takes viewers on an exciting journey of the Charm City Cakes team as they work on two cakes for different clients. Duff and his team have to create an elegant and unique cake for the Lady Lisa's School of Etiquette and a fun and funky cake for a furniture company's art show.

The first order of the day is to create the cake for Lady Lisa's School of Etiquette. Duff and his team have to create a tiered cake that has the appearance of a book. The cake has a blue and white theme to match the school's colors. The design team has to work on creating different layers of the cake to make it look like a book. They use fondant and molds to make pages that will look like they have turned corners and make the cover look as though it has been opened.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Duff is given the task of creating a multimedia art project on furniture for an upcoming show. The art project will feature a table where the guests will be able to interact with a projected image on the table, and the furniture company wants a cake to match the art project. The design team takes this challenge head-on, creating a layered cake that looks like the table from the art project. They feature a fondant projector complete with a projected image of the artwork, and the table is shaped into a funky design matching the look of the projected image.

This episode is as exciting as it is challenging for the Charm City Cakes crew. The entire team has to work on both cakes simultaneously, with never-ending between projects. Things start to go wrong, and the cake for Lady Lisa's School of Etiquette starts to become unstable, giving the team a mini-heart attack. However, they persevere, coming up with a new plan and changing the design of the cake to ensure it remains stable enough to transport.

As if that wasn't enough of a challenge, the team also has to worry about making sure the cake for the furniture company isn't damaged. They have to create a custom stand to support the layers of the cake as well as the projector, making sure every detail is in place to prevent the cake from falling over.

From the planning, baking, decoration, to transportation, this show offers viewers the chance to see the methods and techniques used to create mouth-watering masterpieces and the challenges that come with creating each cake.
