08.11.20
At a time when we all can use a sweet pick-me-up, Duff’s Cakemix announces the highly anticipated launch of pick-up and delivery at their West Hollywood, Pasadena and Irvine locations. The do-it-yourself cake decorating studio founded by Food Network star, Duff Goldman, provides everything you need to bring your cake vision to life – at home! Cake decorating kits are perfect for virtual birthday parties, a DIY activity night for the family, and for those who simply want to “make” their cake and eat it too!
Available through GrubHub at duffscakemix, the DIY decorating experience allows you to decorate like Duff on Duff’s Cakemix’s iconic fondant cake canvas. Kits include plenty of fondant, buttercream and goodies to make your cake dreams come true.
