Duff from Charm City Cakes, the Baltimore based bakery the show is based on, had a small cameo part in the film as a clown. I remember this day on set when we got to eat lunch with him and hear his stories. The Ace of Cakes crew was also their filming the process and that footage should crop up in tonight’s episode. Set your DVR’s!
