This book is for my mother.
The sweetest woman Ive ever known,
who always loves my sweets.
I will always remember your support on my cake journey.
You told me every cake I made was beautiful.
You kept your own album of my work to show your friends.
You brewed fresh, hot coffee when I started
to fade during my long days.
You would always drive carefully while I held
onto my creations for dear life!
You would wait patiently while I finished decorating
on site and take photos.
You are simply the best mom I could ask for.

love letter
I
cake.
My secret is out. Its been out for a while now. I fell in love with cake decorating when I
was twenty-one years old, and I still love it today.
In high school, I was sure I would be an artist. My mind was a heavy rotation of
daydreams in which I was a sculptor, a fashion designer, an interior designer, a painter.
But the truth is, I never believed I was good enough. The pressure of producing a
portfolio to present to the most prestigious art college in Toronto was a pressure I
couldnt handle. I went to culinary school instead. It was the first time I felt like I knew
what I was doing. The first time I truly absorbed everything around me. While I adore
food (especially eating it) I discovered that my love of baking was far greater than my
love of cooking.
I remember going to the deans office and asking for his permission to apply to a
bakery, rather than a restaurant, for my co-op placement. He allowed it, and, although
I didnt know it that day, the decision helped set me on my path.
I started to work at the bakery on weekends, and as soon as I graduated they hired
me full-time. I learned so much from the seasoned, hard-working bakers there, each
one responsible for specific tasks. I have applied so much of what I learned over those
years to the way I bake today. From the moment I worked the cake-decorating station
I was hooked. When it comes to cake decorating, Ive never looked back, only forward.
I learned how to level and layer cakes properly, how to use simple syrup to prolong the
life of a cake, the importance of a crumb coat and how to decorate all the cakes on
their menu with different techniques.
When I reached the point where I no longer felt challenged at the bakery, I
moved on to the next one. This bakery had a different approach and made a long
list of desserts unlike any I had made before. Once again, I had so much to learn!
But, eventually, I came to the same crossroad and I decided it was time to leave and
start my own cake journey. Both bakeries did not make novelty sculpted cakes or
use fondant. At the time it wasnt popular; there wasnt a single cake-decorating
competition show on television. GASP! I couldnt wait to try my hand at it.
LOVE LETTER
Cake has
a magical
way of
bringing
people
together.
I started to make cakes in my home kitchen for everyone
and anyone who would take one! Friends, family, friends of
friends, neighbors. I remember feeling a constant hunger
for more. Eventually I built a loyal clientele making wedding,
birthday, bar mitzvah, and all kinds of special occasion cakes.
The ritual of cake decorating suits my natural tendencies. I
see a vision clearly in my mind. I obsess over how I will attempt
to make it. I feel determined during the transformation, and
absolute joy at the result. I often had a hard time letting them go,
taking as many pictures as I could long before the days where
we all had cameras on our cell phones. I love creating something
different every time, never repeating a cake, and having absolute freedom to create
beautiful cakes. I especially love witnessing peoples reactions on their special days.
Long before anyone watched me create cakes on YouTube, I was dedicated to this
craft more than any other. What YouTube and How To Cake It gave me was the space
to make the cakes I had only ever dreamed of, that no client had orderedlike my
watermelon cake, for example. Instead of making a cake a week for one client, I made
a cake a week for millions to enjoy, respond to, and try out themselves.
I must admit, writing my first book, How To Cake It , was one of the hardest and
most rewarding experiences of my life. As soon as I was done with my first book, and
before it hit the shelves, I began to daydream about this book youre holding. I am the
type of person who never likes to do the same thing twice, so because my first book
was dedicated to novelty cakes, I wanted this one to be dedicated to flavor profiles.
Im not even sure why, but I like to change things up and challenge myself in new ways.
Alongside my passion for novelty cakes, I also loved baking for the people I
care about. Holidays, in particular, were the times I would make everything but cake.
Cheesecakes, brownies, cookies, tarts, pies, and ice cream. My family and friends all
have their favorites, and Ive shared those recipes in this book, a collection of tried-and-
true cake recipes and methods I have remained faithful to for more than twenty years.
I am so happy to share these recipes with you, and I encourage you to make
them your own and share them with the people you love. Cake has a magical way of
bringing people together, not only at birthdays and weddings, but even around the
staff room table or the holiday office party. Everyone wants a piece!
LOVE LETTER
LAYERING UP
layering up
On my YouTube channel, How to Cake It, I became known for making sculpted
novelty cakes that often look like everyday objects and foods that people love. I truly
believe that people love to watch a transformation. I begin with layers of cake, and
transform them into things everyone can recognize.
I also make what we refer to as Mega Cakes on the channel. Cakes that have
a theme or a particular flavor profile, in which I layer cakes with desserts, candies,
cookies, and all things sweet. I enjoyed making these cakes because they allow much
more creative freedom than the weekly novelty cakes, and gave me a little break from
