Weddings,Special Occasions, and Much More:
Thank you!īIG shout-out to the sweetest account, Baking with Mini Me - a mom and daughter duo that are baking their way through the book together. I never even thought of someone ever so touched and motivated by my cakes that they would want to make all of them. What I am super impressed by is those of you that have committed yourselves to baking through the entire book!! I am seriously blown away by your enthusiasm and dedication. I absolutely love seeing your work! Between email and Instagram, there have been over 1500 cakes inspired by Layered and shared across social media. Click here to find all the AMAZING cakes! Also, this is an updated list - so definitely worth clicking again. I know I've already shared their gorgeous work, but I am still so thankful for their support.
When Layered was first released, I asked several of my baking blogger pals to create and share some of the recipes. Can't be too mad about that =)įrom interviews, to shared recipes, to giveaways - here are some of my favorite places around the web where you can find some Layered love:Ĭookbook Corner - Food Bloggers of Canada Thanks to all of YOUR votes, I finished just behind Alton Brown. With past winners including Ina Garten and Gwyneth Paltrow, just being nominated was amazing. We are currently working on an Italian version, too. You can now find Layered, or Tortenzeit, printed in German. In June, about 1.5 months after it came out, Layered got its second printing! Yaayyyy! And in the fall, just before the holidays, its third. Hopefully we can find a similar type of space and do this again! I mean, who can say no to cake? Nobody, I tell you =) The West Elm Market here was an awesome space (it's since sadly turned into a West Elm Bath) for local artists and makers to showcase their goods. Again, the power of cake on community really shows when you have random shoppers coming together to discuss and eat cake together. My second favourite event had to be here in Vancouver at West Elm Market. Many of you even reminded me of myself just after college when I first fell in love with cake. To my surprise, the event was packed! I credit the amazing team at Book Larder for helping promote my arrival, but seriously guys - THANK YOU for coming!! I loved meeting and chatting with everyone that lovely Tuesday evening.
We binged on General Porpoise Donuts, Kurt Farm Shop ice cream, and the best pizza of my life from Delancey. My older brother and I made the drive from Vancouver with un-iced cakes and jars of buttercream in the car and a list of foodie spots to hit up before my event at the Book Larder. A quick 16-hour roundtrip down to Seattle turned into one of my best days all year. I had several book signings both here in Vancouver and in the States, but two stuck out in particular. One of my favorite parts since becoming an author has been getting to meet some you face to face. Hope you like it!!!" I mean, a beautiful book with my name on it? A tangible piece of me that gets to go home with other cake enthusiasts around the world?!?! A book where adults and children alike flip through the pages together and pick out cakes for special celebrations?!?! I really did pour everything I had into Layered's 288 pages and could not be prouder of the result.Now that is pretty incredible. Kinda scary, right? It's like "Hey world, here is my very best work, my blood-sweat-tears from the last two years, my heart poured into every page and picture, hope you like it."That kind of vulnerability is indescribable.Īt the same time, it's also like "Hey world!! Here is my very best work, my blood-sweat-tears from the last two years, my heart poured into every page and picture. And while you can drive yourself crazy picking over each letter and analyzing every recipe a hundred times, once it goes to print, that's pretty much it. There is a definitive end to the process. Like I touched on when the book was released, unlike a child that keeps growing, learning, adapting, pushing limits, and changing, and book is very finite. Having both out in the world at nearly the same time (Everett was born just a week after turning in my manuscript), I have to both agree and disagree. They say that your first book is like having your first child.
