I just watched Ace of Cakes last night. Love it! They have some amazing cakes.

What are the cake/baking shows you like to watch and when are they on?
Thanks!

Always. always Ace Of Cakes. Other than Duff, the Food Network cake challenges.

i like the competition shows ... lots of different techniques, skills and designs. They also get right into the making of the cakes. I actually get bored with Duff's show .... too much talking and "personal interaction" and not enough cake focus.

I love Duff, but I also like Sugar Rush too- there's alot more focus on how the cakes are actually made- the cake challenges are pretty cool- icon_biggrin.gif

I have to say Duff and the Challenges! I haven't gotten a chance to see Sugar Rush yet, but did see a demo by him at the Mid-Atlantic Cake Show. I don't know of any other cake shows that are on.....

I love all the cake shows, but the Sugar Rush show actually shows you how it was made! So that one is my favorite and I always try to catch it when it is one. So far my favorite cakes on the show were...the stack of old books wedding cake and then a purse cake. Just amazing! Jen

I don't believe Ace Of Cakes was ever meant to be a "how to" show, but merely entertainment of a fun show that also makes cakes.

I'm an Ace of Cakes fan myself.

As a matter of fact, last night I was watching it with my husband in bed and he looked at me and said "You need to take another class" icon_surprised.gif

Now this is from the same man that told me in anger "Cakes are not important!!" icon_evil.gif

Why the change of heart? icon_confused.gif

It really doesn't matter because I told him that I would look into it this summer. I'm dying to take the blown sugar class or something similar.

I just hadn't done it becuase he started his own business and I devote what other little time i have left to his invoicing plus I work full time but he said I should look into a Saturday class so he can watch the kids as he isn't home most evenings until after 9:00 p.m.

I'm soooooooooooooo excited!! icon_lol.gificon_biggrin.gificon_lol.gif

Are there any other cake shows besides AoC? I'd love to see a how-to one day.

Ace of Cakes - love, love, love this show.
Sugar Rush - they did one on cakes that was awesome! It's a show about all things sugar, so it's not always cake-related. I tape them just in case.
Food Network Challenges - usually involve a theme and several well known decorators compete for a $10,000 prize. No new ones, but Food Network replays them from time to time.

All these are on Food Network by the way.

I love all the ones everyone else mentioned. There is another show on Food Network. It comes on right after Sugar Rush in my neck of the woods. It's called Recipe for Success. They follow all kinds of food related business ventures as they get started. Recently they have had cake decorators, bakeries and cookie companies on. It's really interesting to see how people get started.

Another one I like on cable is The Knot Weddings, not a how to show, just beautiful cakes, flowers and table settings. But you can get inspiration. They also have interviews with well known cake designers, Ron Ben-Israel, Sylvia Weinstock, Elisa Strauss etc.

There used to be this GREAT show on an Argentinian channel that DirecTV used to have called "Tortas y pasteles" and it was strictly a how-to show, focused on decorating (not baking). I learned almost everytning I know there (mostly modeling gumpaste). I was really sad when they took the channel off. It was the equivalent to the DIY channel in America and also had about 4 or 5 more shows about baking. I wished food network had something like that!!!!!!

I can't find bake,decorate, and celebrate. I'm in orange county ca. Maybe I'm just missing it, but I like the website. Wish I could also find The Knot Weddings...but I do like Sugar Rush, Challenges, Sweet Dreams and Duff.

I love Duff....but mostly because it's Duff. Although I do like watching the cake decorating process WHEN they decide to show it!
I also LOVE the Food Network challenges.
And.....a few weeks ago, I caught a very simple show called Bake Decorate Celebrate. It was very elementary stuff, but loved watching it....and eventually fell asleep watching it since it was a marathon of the show!
