Cake decorating involves using icing and other edible elements to make cakes more visually interesting. It takes a lot of time and creativity. Popular cake decorating shows include Ace of Cakes, which features Duff Goldman and his shop Charm City Cakes, known for unique creations like anatomically correct ears and replicas of machines. Local options for creative cakes include Cakes on Walnut, which matches drinks to cupcakes, and a cake decorating class at County Market on November 15th.
