Duff Goldman makes an addictive holiday cookie: “They have a light, crispy texture, and you have to be careful because before you know it, you’ll have eaten like 20. But it’s OK, they’re small.”
It’s no surprise coming from the baker extraordinaire and Food Network favorite. This holiday season, Mr. Goldman is the host of Food Network’s new competition show “The Elf on the Shelf: Sweet Showdown,” on Sundays at 8 p.m., and a judge on the new season of “Holiday Baking Championship,” on Mondays at 8 p.m. At his Baltimore bakery, Charm City Cakes, he’s known for elaborate creations that turn frosting and fondant into sculpted masterpieces.
