Recent Publications: Cherry Bombe Feature in the Love Issue. This sprawling 4 foot cake was an absolute joy to make for a couple that celebrated their nuptials in a small backyard ceremony in December 2024. She was layers of apple butter barley cake, brown sugar caramelized apples, miso whipped caramel and Cream Cheese Swiss buttercream.
LA EXCLUSIVE: If you are in Los Angeles, our Coconut Prune cake in collaboration with CA Prunes is leaving the menu at the end of the month. Find out more about this winter queen.

Recent Travels: We went into Appalachia to see my older brother get married in an intimate ceremony. It was wonderful weekend. 10/10 for the wedding buffet featuring southern bbq. Let’s see more of this.
Stopped off on the way at my Alma Mater to show Bear where I went to school. Even in stick season William and Mary is beautiful, with the recent snow there weren’t many students or Colonial Actors in Williamsburg so we had the place to ourselves to frolic. And of course stop in at the world’s best sandwich shop.
Inspired by: Excited to be at Jubilee next month in NYC! If you’ll be there I hope to meet you at the conference. Details. Also excited to try out all the new bakery’s opened by friends recently including Hani’s and Elbow. NYC Heat Map forthcoming.
