'Avenue Q' Residents To Appear on Food Network 3/27

The residents of Avenue Q will appear on Food Network's popular television program ACE OF CAKES on the March 27, 2008 episode at 10:30 PM ET.  While at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre, the cast and crew of Ace of Cakes and the cast and crew of the touring production of Avenue Q filmed an episode of Ace of Cakes during which Chef Duff Goldman unveiled a customized AVENUE Q cake that depicts the Tony Award-winning musical's characters. To see the Avenue Q cake tune into Food Network on Thursday, March 27 at 10:30 PM EST!  (The national tour of Avenue Q will be playing at the Fox Theater in Atlanta on March 27.)
 
Ace of Cakes, a primetime series airing on Food Network, chronicles the misadventures of Chef Duff Goldman. Goldman is a master cake decorator, rock musician, power tool aficionado and owner of Charm City Cakes.  He has created everything from a three-foot buttercream sculpture of Elvis to a massive edible replica of Wrigley Field.  These cakes are not only pretty, but they work- a car engine that shoots fireworks, a motorized horse, and a rolling replica of a Jeep Wrangler.

Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone's looking for the same things he is: a decent job, a stable relationship, and a "purpose." Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that "the real world" isn't so bad, after all!
 
Avenue Q, the Tony Award winning Musical, continues a successful North American Tour and is now in its 5th year on Broadway in  New York at the Golden Theatre (252 W. 45 St.).
