At exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), celebrity pastry chef Duff Goldman embraces his compact stature with humor, once tweeting "#hobbit" to correct misconceptions that TV makes him appear taller. This self-proclaimed short king has built an empire of gravity-defying cakes, towering far above his height.
Best known for starring in the Food Network hit Ace of Cakes, Duff's creations have dazzled on Iron Chef America, Food Network Challenge, Duff Takes the Cake, and shows like Oprah and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. His petite frame powers a larger-than-life career as a TV personality, cookbook author, and cake innovator.
