I wanted to give a special thanks to Marissa Matteo for helping me through the process of making my first cookbook; her guidance and advice were invaluable every step of the way. She was present during each day of shooting over the course of several months, transcribed my baking process into steps, helped with food testing, coordinated with the entire team to keep things on track, and even drove all around town to find last-minute props. In more ways than I can put into words, her advice and calming presence truly mean the world to me.

HEY GUYS, ITS RO! Thanks for taking the time to check out my very first cookbook! For those of you who dont know me, my name is Rosanna Pansino and Im the creator and host of Nerdy Nummies , the internets most popular baking show.

Nerdy Nummies combines two things I love with all my heart: geek culture and baking. Video games, science fiction, math, and comics were just a few of the things people considered nerdy when I was growing up; now they inspire every recipe youll find inside this book. From a Periodic Table of Cupcakes to Moon Phase Macarons, there are plenty of sweet treats for the geek in all of us! My grandmother (Nana) taught me to infuse everything I bake with love, and its thanks to her that baking has been such an integral part of my life. Making food in the kitchen is something that has always brought my family together, and I hope you enjoy these projects as much as I enjoyed making them. I wanted this book to be a physical embodiment of the show.

The Nerdy Nummies debut episode was about baking a Mario Star Cake. The Nerdy Nummies debut episode was about baking a Mario Star Cake.

There wasnt a geeky-themed food show on television or the internet at that time, so after a positive response from both the online community and my friends, I decided to make it a series. With that, the original nerdy baking show was born! In the early months of the show, I filmed, edited, and uploaded each episode completely by myself. Since Im pretty slow at editing, releasing two videos a month was simply not keeping up with the requests of my viewers. It was because of their feedback and enthusiasm that I decided to begin making videos full-time and release them more often. Now, the Nerdy Nummies crew has grown to a small group of friends and family. The internet is a truly amazing place and I feel incredibly humbled by the outpouring of support Ive received over the years.

Having a direct connection with people all over the world is incredible and its why I enjoy doing Nerdy Nummies so much! THE NERDY NUMMIES CREW
