First and foremost - Duff is appearing tonight on the Home Shopping Network, promoting Fat Daddio's cake pans. They are great baking pans - we use them here at the bakery. I encourage all to tune in and see Duff way, way out of his element. He will be on at 10:00 PM with the "HSN Cooks 24-hour event" - Check your local listings for channel info. 
Also, some exciting changes to our online store! We now ship to the United Kingdom! Our good friends across the pond have been seeing Ace of Cakes on Sky 1 and have been asking for months when they can get their hands on some CCC swag. We finally sorted everything out with UPS so head on over to our shop and stock up, mates!
We now have Ace of Cakes season 2 available for purchase at our store. We know you can get these DVD's at other places and on other websites. However, if you purchase them through the CCC store you will also receive a Charm City Cakes sticker which you can't get anywhere else! The 3-disc set includes all 13 episodes of the second season, including such special moments as Duff wears a kilt, Duff does the dance of the 7 veils, Duff falls offstage at the Washington Monument, and the special 1-hour finale wherein Duff and the gang fly to Miami to make the cake for the Superbowl. Now you can relive these moments forever. Just click on "Merchandise" on the left hand menu over there <--- to get yours!Enough retail news - sheesh! And now for this week's slightly late installment of...
