This year's PNC Tennis Challenge was a huge success!

Erica and Duff delivered two Olympic Gold Medal cakes to Serena Williams and Elena Dementieva. What a thrill! Mary Smith, Jess, and Geof joined them to enjoy the amazing world-class tennis matches. A great time was had by all - and lots of money raised for local Baltimore charities.

And now, a bit of shameless self-promotion. I am quite honored to be have been asked to be a storyteller at this year's Stoop Stories Holiday Show. For those who are not familiar with this near-legendary Baltimore institution, The Stoop is an unscripted, live show that features 7 pre-selected storytellers recalling a true story on a particular theme, plus a couple random audience members who get selected to tell their story on the spot! It's an amazing show that has garnered a huge following and lots of success. I can vouch that this year's big holiday show features seven amazing tales and some of my most favorite local musicians. It will be a ton of fun, I personally guaruntee it. Hope to see you there! Tickets always sell out so get yours now.
Who has already started making their holiday cookies? If you're looking for some festive recipes, Duff's Black and White Cookie recipe is now on Food Network's 12 Days of Cookies along with a how-to video. Enjoy!

If you're still working on your holiday shopping, don't forget that our online store has lots of CCC swag for all the nears and dears in your life. Nothing says Happy Holidays more than a Charm City Cakes gift. We're seething with holiday spirit.
More soon - see you at the Stoop Show Monday night!
