Lucie Franc de Ferriere On Buttercream Secrets & Her Debut Baking Book

Today’s guest is Lucie Franc de Ferriere, the self-taught baker and founder of From Lucie, the popular East Village bakery known for its mini cakes, chocolate chip cookies, and French-inflected charm. Lucie is also the author of the new cookbook “Cake From Lucie: Recipes and Techniques From the French Countryside to New York City.” Lucie and host Kerry Diamond discuss how the book blends her upbringing in southwest France with her life in New York, the importance of working with a creative team that understands her vision, and why she wanted the book to feel personal and approachable. Lucie reflects on the influence of her mother’s tea room, her grandmother’s Madeleine recipe, and the rituals that shaped her love of baking.  Click here for Lucie’s Matcha White Chocolate Mini Cake recipe.
