Dangit, I missed it. I was so disappointed in DC cupcakes, that I guess I didn't get excited enough to set my DVR for this one, but you guys have made me want to check it out. I am all for cake show that doesn't have all the drama, and seem fake. That was what I didn't like about DC cupcakes. Everything was so staged and scripted...and don't get me started on the dog in the car with the cupcakes! I will definately have to tune in next time it's on!

I finally got to watch this show. I love it. It appears they are going to do different shops each week. Can't wait to see what's next.

I would like to see how it progresses. It doesn't catch my attention like Amazing wedding cakes does.

I really enjoy this show... can't wait to see it again. I think I like the fact that it brings things into persepctive a bit more. The cakes were over the top and huge... but love it that they also let the public know what it costs if you are expecting a cake like that. Sometimes the customer... or the people sitting at home watching these shows has no clue what it takes to REALLY accomplish a task that big and that they show what it costs... maybe it will open a few eyes... This could help the cake decorators and designers so that when someone comes wanting a cake that is extra ordinary... it costs to get it done!
So many people I know say "I watched Ace of Cakes and I know I can do the same thing they can." I just smile and think to myself... but TV makes it look far easier than it is and.... if you don't have the right tools (which we all know are NOT cheap by any means!) you will not be able to do what they do on TV... Unless you are crazy talented!

I have enjoyed this show. It really is showing a little more of how things are done, not just what people do. The narrator really helps with that. I was dissappointed in the show Monday night because they didn't say how much things were. I would love to know how much that bowling pin cake was. I am sure it wasn't cheap. I do like that we see different cake designers and really look forward to seeing what other shows will have on it.
