Cake Ace Invades Gold Cup

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Charm City dough boy Duff “Ace of Cakes” Goldman will be strutting his stuff, both figuratively and physically, at the May 1 Virginia Gold Cup–spent several afternoons there during my college years; never once saw a horse–where he’ll  unveil his homage to the 85th race and judge a birthday-centric cake walk.

The first 30 contestants who register for the confectionary throwdown ($50 to enter; grand prize is $100 in VA lottery tickets–and bragging rights, ‘natch) will get a chance to parade their homemade sweets in front of Goldman et al. from 1-3 p.m. on race day.

Fire up those flute pans!
