You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Ace of Cakes''''' is an American [[reality television show]] that aired on the [[Food Network]].  The show focused on the daily operations of [[Duff Goldman]]'s custom cake shop, Charm City Cakes, in [[Baltimore, Maryland]]; including small-business ownership, working with various vendors, tasting with customers, constructing cakes, and delivering his products.

==Synopsis==
((more citations needed section|date=July 2012))
[[File:Cake hubble.JPG|thumb|left|Model of the Hubble Space Telescope and Jupiter created by Charm City Cakes on display at the [[Goddard Space Flight Center]] in Greenbelt, Maryland]]''Ace of Cakes'' highlights the frantic activity encompassing the production of a substantial number of custom [[edible art]] cakes in a short period of time. The staff consists primarily of Duff Goldman's good friends who have varying personalities. They are frequently shown working long hours to build and decorate the cakes, yet are always making jokes to offset the alleged stress of hitting each deadline. Staff members sometimes drive the cakes to their final destinations, which can require road trips of several hundred miles. Goldman has an informal approach to running Charm City Cakes.  He is known for using non-traditional cooking utensils such as [[blowtorch]]es, belt sanders, and power saws, and more to construct his designs.

Some of the notable cakes created by Charm City Cakes include cakes for the [[Preakness Stakes]] horse race at Pimlico in Maryland, [[Baltimore Zoo]], the premiere of the 2007 film ''[[Hairspray (2007 film)|Hairspray]],'' a replica of [[Radio City Music Hall]] for [[The Rockettes]], a hatbox-shaped cake for an 80-year-old grandmother, the [[Hogwarts]] castle for the premiere of the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|fifth Harry Potter film]] in Los Angeles, an edible replica of [[Wrigley Field]], a replica of the [[shark ray]] at the [[Newport Aquarium]], a cake for the [[Paramount Pictures]] premiere of the [[DreamWorks Animation|DreamWorks]] Animation film ''[[Kung-Fu Panda]]'', and a replica of the [[Hubble Space Telescope]] for [[NASA]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-040609a.html |website=[[collectSPACE]] |title=NASA has its Hubble cake, can't eat it too |date=April 6, 2009 |access-date=February 10, 2017 |archive-date=October 23, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023013046/http://www.collectspace.com//news/news-040609a.html |url-status=live))</ref> For the season finale of Season 5, the bakery's staff traveled to [[Hawaii]] to create a cake for the 100th episode of ''[[Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost]]''.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.foodnetwork.com/ace-of-cakes/lost-in-hawaii/index.html |title=LOST in Hawaii |website=[[Food Network]] |access-date=May 25, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090607181630/http://www.foodnetwork.com/ace-of-cakes/lost-in-hawaii/index.html |archive-date=June 7, 2009 |url-status=dead))</ref>

Season one of ''Ace of Cakes'' consisted of six episodes airing in early fall 2006. The show proved to be one of the highest-rated prime time shows in Food Network's history, causing the network to order 15 episodes for season two including a 2-hour-long episode featuring the official [[NFL]] cake for [[Super Bowl XLI]].<ref name="post-gazette">((Cite news |first=Bob Jr. |last=Batz |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07116/780948-34.stm |title='Ace of Cakes' can sculpt whatever you want out of batter |newspaper=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]] |date=April 26, 2007 |access-date=March 11, 2009 |archive-date=April 9, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409143919/http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07116/780948-34.stm |url-status=dead))</ref>  A one-hour special featured the show's first international delivery (to London, England) in an episode aired in December 2010.

The final episode featured a large-scale Delorean time machine cake created for Universal Studios' ''[[Back to the Future]]'' anniversary event in [[New York City]].<ref>((cite news |url=http://photos.denverpost.com/2010/10/26/back-to-the-future-reunion/ |title='Back to the Future' Reunion |newspaper=[[The Denver Post]] |date=October 26, 2010 |access-date=February 10, 2017 |archive-date=August 20, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820124115/http://photos.denverpost.com/2010/10/26/back-to-the-future-reunion/ |url-status=dead))</ref>  Seasons 1–5 have been released on DVD.
