"For me cake and ice cream belong together like mashed potatoes and gravy," said Duff. "We came up with these creations because they combine the best of both worlds and we are really excited to see the reaction of folks when they discover them in their freezer aisle."  

Duff worked directly with Blue Bunny's ice cream flavor experts in the development of the new line – making trips to the Ice Cream Capital of the World, Le Mars, Iowa, where Blue Bunny is based, to help create the perfect flavor combinations.

"The Blue Bunny Chef Duff Goldman flavors bring a certain dramatic experience to ice cream that is so exciting," said Curtis Hansen, marketing manager for Blue Bunny packaged ice cream. "The synergy of Duff's innovative ideas and our expertise in high quality ice cream have blended nicely to bring these decadent flavors to life."

The pairing of ice cream and cake inspired four Blue Bunny Chef Duff Goldman flavors:

Red Carpet Red Velvet Cake    

Red velvet cake flavored ice cream swirled with cream cheese frosting flavored ice cream and red velvet cake pieces.

About Duff Goldman

Duff has been cooking since the age of four, when his Mom caught him in the kitchen swinging around a meat cleaver while watching Julia Child on TV. After studying at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California, Duff worked at several acclaimed culinary destinations, including the French Laundry, the Vail Cascade Hotel, and Todd English's Olives. In 2002 he returned to his beloved Baltimore to open Charm City Cakes. There, Duff was able to show off his creativity, which comes from a long line of artistic genes. The bakery became a household name via a hit show on the Food Network, "The Ace of Cakes." Duff also dabbled in graffiti, which may explain a thing or two about the vibrant and occasionally irreverent cake designs. When he's not cakin' and bakin', Duff plays bass in his band, "Sand Ox" and cruises around town in his classic muscle cars and motorcycles.
