The Bad Boys of Baking


Move over ladies. Or at least make some more room in the oven. Baking cookies and cakes isn't just for women anymore. Instead, it is actually becoming quite the contrary. A new breed of bakers are rising up and adding a little bit of testosterone to what is typically an industry choking on estrogen.

Men from a mix of backgrounds in law, graphic design and graffiti are making their way into the kitchens of some of the countries best restaurants and bakeries. So mothers hide your daughters. Husbands, keep an eye on your wife. The bad boys of baking are on the prowl, and that got plenty of sweets to put even the most tamed into a sugar coma.

Below are a few noted members of this flour fraternity:

Duff Goldman, Owner, Charm City Cakes; Personality on Food Network's Ace of Cakes

Warren Brown, Owner, Cakelove; Host of Food Network's Sugar Rush


Jorg Amsler, Owner, Truly Jorg's Patisserie

Jason Ellis, Owner, Cakes by Jay, Inc.
