Duff Goldman shared his Cake of the Week on Twitter, which bears the text “Happy Birthday Casey!” The cake itself is made to represent the caterpillar character Heimlich from Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” that IMDb says late animator Joe Ranft voiced. Goldman’s followers shared their appreciation for his artwork almost immediately.
One user tweeted, “Oooooh! I love it! From one of my childrens [sic] Fav movies” and another stated “I don’t think I could cut into it and mess it up. It’s a beautiful piece of art!” Another simply expressed, “Wow! Just wow! You are an amazing artist!” This isn’t Goldman’s first cake inspired by a cartoon character, though. In fact, Goldman expressed he wants to be a character on a particular animated show (“Bob’s Burgers”).
In August 2022, Goldman turned heads with a cake inspired by an earlier Disney animated classic, “Alice in Wonderland.” A gallery on Charm City Cakes‘ website reveals baked creations related to Archie Comics, DC Comics’ Harley Quinn, and The Smurfs. There’s no telling what character Goldman might take on next to wow both his customers and social media followers. However, the pastry titan’s combination of expert baking skills and artistic talents will likely make it a stunner.
