It seems like a lot of money for a show that only has 6 episodes. They could have easily put 6 episodes onto one DVD. About the only possibility is if there is a LOT (and I do mean a LOT) of extra bonus material. Maybe if somebody watches the DVD, they could let us know what the bonus material consists of.
What's the deal with the limited edition Ace of Cakes drum sticks? I guess it's because Duff is in a band, but he only plays the bass guitar, not the drums. It would have been neat if they made something that was more related to cake decorating, or even Ace of Cakes shirts or hats. |

Did you mean $29.95 lsawyer?
"Each disc has a running time of 50 minutes and contains 2 episodes plus behind-the-scenes bonus footage of Charm City Cakes." |

Maybe the price isn't tooooooo expensive, but it seems odd to spread 6 episodes out between 3 DVDs. Each episode is about 22 minutes each so it would be about 45 minutes of Ace Of Cakes per DVD. Normally DVDs can have at least 2 hours of movie plus all the bonus material. So unless there is a TON of DVD extras, there doesn't seem to be a reason to space it out between 3 DVDs when they could easily put it all onto one DVD (or even put it on 2 DVDs). |

TO nglez09..............Oohhhh....you are correct about the price! I feel so stupid. The price I quoted included some silly drumsticks in addition to the DVD's.
TO puzzlegut......maybe they included the commercials??? Gosh, wouldn't that be just awful?? |

I highly doubt they would include the commercials. Even if they did, it would still be an hour for 2 episodes. |

For those that have watched these shows, or seen some of the episodes, do you think that this would be a good buy? or a bit of a waste of money??
TIA

I have a dvr through my cable company and then recorded the shows onto a dvd. There are some ideas on there that will help me, but I am not sure I would pay out that much for a show dvd set. I would if there was an instuctional section also. |

If you look at the charm city cakes website, they sell hats, tshirts, etc |

I wish there were more episodes but I LOVE that show and so I'm tempted to buy it. I've been wondering if they had DVDs but hadn't actually looked it up yet. Thanks! |

Ditto to ALL of you!
Seems a bit steep for only 6 episodes, even if there IS bonus footage. It's got to be a marketing thing, because I saw "3-dvd set" and jumped!!...until I realized each only had 2 episodes on it. Weird.
I guess when you ask for something, you can't complain about how they give it to you But I'm still debating if it's worth $29.95 PLUS $8.95 shipping. Maybe I'll just camp out at my father-in-laws on the coming Tuesday evenings.... |
