Duff Goldman Biography

Duff Goldman is an award winning pastry chef and television personality starring in numerous Food Network programs throughout the past decade most notably Ace of Cakes.
Chef Duff Goldman started working for acclaimed Baltimore Chef Cindy Wolf while attending the University of Maryland Baltimore County. After graduating with degrees in History and Philosophy Duff left Baltimore to study pastries at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley California. While in Napa Duff was a stagiere at the French Laundry working under acclaimed pastry Chef Steven Durfee. Following graduation from the CIA Duff left Northern California to become Executive Pastry Chef of the Vail Cascade Hotel and Resort in the mountains of Vail Colorado. Duff left Colorado to cook and bake bread for Todd English's Olives back in Washington D.C. and worked under Executive Chef Steve Mannino.
Duff's entrepreneurial spirit took him back to Baltimore in 2000 where he finally realized his dream and opened Charm City Cakes in his apartment. He wasn't there very long; as word-of-mouth the media and even the health department all began to take an interest and he soon found himself in a real bakery of his very own. Increased coverage in the press and a growing clients list helped propel Duff into an even bigger location: an old church he retrofitted into his current modern bakery - and the Charm City Cakes as we know it was firmly established.
