A New York Cake Walk

Did you catch this? CBS’ Sunday Morning followed a group of Australian bakers as they toured New York’s finest sights… all cake-related of course!

Decked out in pink, a posse of cake decorators from the Australian Cake Decorating Network hit the streets of New York City for a three day tour. The most amusing part about this segment is not necessarily following the path they took (though it’s interesting to learn which spots make their must-see list), it’s listening to the commentator talk about how “crazy” cake decorators are. See the sights of New York or visit a bunch of bakeries? The hands-down response- visit more bakeries!!!

Here are a few places they visited:

What do you think? Which places should they have added to their tour? And is New York the cake decorating capital that Sunday Morning makes it out to be?
