Miss Ace of Cakes? Get Your Fill With Have Cake, Will Travel

Cake aficionados collectively mourned the loss of Charm City Cakes on the small screen when it was announced that Duff Goldman's Ace of Cakes would end its 10-season run on the Food Network.

Cake aficionados collectively mourned the loss of Charm City Cakes on the small screen when it was announced that Duff Goldman's Ace of Cakes would end its 10-season run on the Food Network. If you're still looking to get your fill of cake shows, the network has a new series premiering April 2 at 12:30 p.m.

According to a release, Have Cake, Will Travel is a "new comedy docu-reality series that follows Ashley Vicos, the reigning queen of the cake decorating world, as she leads her motley crew of assistants around the country creating jaw-dropping, three-dimensional cakes for every type of event imaginable."

Sounds oddly just like Ace of Cakes, only on the road. It'll be interesting to see what Food Network's plan for Duff is, considering exec Bob Tushman has already confirmed that the network is developing new show concepts for him.

2007's Favorite Foodie Show Is . .

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you to name your favorite (noncooking or nonreality) food TV show.

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you to name your favorite (noncooking or nonreality) food TV show. The majority of you — 26 percent — felt that Duff and the gang over at Ace of Cakes should have walked away the victor. However I'm going to have to go with the second-place winner, No Reservations. Perhaps it's my I'll-eat-anything-once spirit, but I love the way Bourdain travels the globe in search of the best eats. Yes, he does have that snarky demeanor, but he manages to do it humbly and is always the most gracious guest. Whether he's drinking pints in Ireland or sharing meals with school children in Ghana, Bourdain offers a wonderful snapshot of the world, one meal at a time.
