Latest television obsession
While on vacation recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the discombobulating experience that is North American cable television. Amongst a sea of, well, crap, there are some absolute gems that haven’t yet made it to Australian shores. An example is Flight of the Conchords*. And then there is my favorite, Ace of Cakes. It concerns a cake shop in Baltimore, and it’s obscenely talented staff. The whole process - a deft mix of sugar & civil engineering - is fascinating. Duff Goldman and his staff at Charm City Cakes are thoroughly pleasant (in stark contrast to every other reality show, ever), and obviously enjoy what they do.
It’s nice to know that such a sincere television show can still be made.
