Now Open: Charm City Cakes

Follow @buylocalmarket

Details are still few and far between, but according to Charm City Cakes’ blog, the long-awaited, much anticipated West Coast location is now open and accepting orders for their famous cakes. Based in Baltimore, MD, Charm City Cakes gained a national following with their hit show, Ace of Cakes starring Duff Goldman. Watch a snippet below.

The Baltimore location will remain in tact and operational. The Charm City Cakes team will be splitting in two with Duff reportedly spending the majority of his time in Santa Monica. Like the Baltimore location, the Santa Monica bakery (located on 19th st.) will be available by appointment only and no cakes will be sold on-site.

Here are the answers to some Frequently Asked Questions from the Charm City Cakes website:

Can I visit your shop?
Sorry, but no.

We are a very small, very busy shop. Every cake we make is handcrafted to order, and while that makes for some really spectacular cakes, it doesn’t leave us with a lot of time for visitors and jibba jabba. So we can’t have people stopping in to watch. We do realize that you are special, but we simply do not have the time or resources for visitors.

How much are your cakes?
Because our cakes are completely custom made, and priced individually by the complexity of their design, we do not have a standard price list.

Wedding and tiered cakes start at $7 a serving. We find that most of our clients choose designs that start at about $15 per serving. There is a 50 serving minimum on wedding and tiered cakes.

3D, sculptural cakes start at $1000.
