LAYER (Ace of Cakes---Duff---)

In addition to making many “layered” cakes for his company, Charm City Cakes, Duff Goldman is a TV star. He appears on Ace of Cakes which features his bakery and some very unusual cakes. He is also quite the philanthropist , doing a lot of charity work. Finally he is also a musician, playing bass for a band named Soihadto. So he has almost as many layers as his cakes!

    Love it! What a great take on the theme, and I love your illustration! It really looks like him and conveys everything you talked about him. I love that show too it's so creative they are very talented artists!

    I have no idea what show you're referring to, but I can sure relate to the many jobs I held in my younger years ;)

    Good one Jack!

    This is great.

    I'm thinking of doing layers of cake, but I'm not as clever as you to have layers of talent too.

    Wonderful caricature of Duff. Every time I watch that show I think Charm City Cakes must be a great place to work!

    CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE! Did someone say CAKE? I love CAKE! Nom nom nom! It's my favorite food group. I will eat it with a Duff. I will eat it filled with stuff. I will eat it in the buff! What a great portrait! The man should put this on one of his cakes. Perhaps make a little fondant version of himself as a topper. Awesome as ever, Jack! Have a great weekend!

    I see a new Duff - Charm City Cakes animation show in the works. You should send this to him somehow. Great interpretation and you have added many "layers" to the theme. Love it and Cake Boss is interesting too. Buddy will have to be a subject for another day.

    ha!
    I guessed YOURS this week Jack... at least the layer cake part... didn't know about Duff Goldman, but I thought layer cakes... Cake looks too fun to eat, but more appetizing than last week's soup...
