Kooza-Palooza
Earlier this week, we were thrilled to be asked to create a cake for Kooza, an amazing touring Cirque du Soliel show that is in Baltimore for the next few weeks. All of the bakery kids got to see the show and let me tell you: If you have the chance, DO NOT MISS IT. It really is breathtaking. While I can't give away everything, there is a great video here and some stellar pictures here of the finished cake.
Hands Up: WHO WANTS TO ROCK?
Duff's band, soihadto, will be playing two shows next week:
* Thursday, March 26th at The Red and The Black in Washington DC
* Saturday, March 28th at The Metro Gallery in Baltimore - This show will also feature The Minneapolis Henrys, a really talented band who is signed to Grape Juice Records, which just happens to be Ace of Cakes Sound Guy Nick's label. Coincedence? I think not. It'll be a really great show and we hope to see you there!
WE LOVE KID ART, REDUX
Got this letter & illustration a few weeks ago from a sweetie named Selah. Pretty much the best letter ever.
Thanks, Selah! We love you and your honest, heartfelt letter & drawing.
...and finally....
