Everybody’s favorite Ace of Cakes is gearing up for the first ever Kids Cake Decoration Competition at Duff’s Cakemix locations across L.A. during the month of July, to be judged by the Ace himself, Duff Goldman, and Geof Manthorne.

DCM is a do-it-yourself cake and cupcake decorating shop founded by Goldman for birthday parties, team building activities, corporate events and summer cake camp for bakers-in-training. Customers select from an offering of pre-baked cakes and cupcakes, build their kits with colorful frosting, fondant and candies, and then bring their creative vision to life.
