Charm City Cakes' New Merch

It's October! Best month of the year, you know. Fall has started, the weather is cooling down, Halloween preparations are underway, and my birthday is in 17 days!

I can only hope that I receive a new Charm City Cakes graphic tee, now printed on American Apparel, for that softer, better-fitting, made in America style we love.


Has Geof done some modeling in the past? Methinks so.

They also have a logo coffee mug and (best of all) limited-time-only logo yarmulke available for purchase.

Check out all the Charm City Cakes merch here. Get yourself a shirt. It may not taste like a thousand dollar cake, but it's a lot cheaper... and it'll last longer!

Back to Reality

Well, I made it back safely last night from Miami. I had a really good time last year, but this year's FNSBW&FF was truly outstanding. I met lots of amazing people, drank some awesome wine, scarffed on some all right food, and even picked up a few cooking tips along the way.

Here's a little slideshow of photos. I'm sorry if it takes a while to load.





It's so surreal to think that less than two years ago I decided to start a blog about Food Network people and now, just yesterday, I was sitting on a couch in the lobby of the Loews hotel next to Iron Chef Morimoto while waiting for Tyler Florence and his wife to come downstairs for coffee. So crazy!

Stay tuned over the coming days for my in-depth (perhaps obsessive?) coverage of the Grand Tasting Village, cooking demos, and late night parties... plus interviews with Ace of Cake's Duff, Mary Alice & Geoff and Tyler Florence. Also, be on the lookout for my interview with Adam Roberts on foodnetwork.com's FN Dish. They already have some fun videos posted from the weekend.

Okay... back to reality.
