Cakes are in the midst of a makeover and Lucie Franc de Ferriere of From Lucie is one of the cake artists leading the charge. Her creations are topped with buttercream, festooned with flowers and herbs, and have a charming handmade quality to them. She just opened her first bakery, a tiny spot in the East Village, where she and her team make layer cakes, sheet cakes, brownies, cookies, and other confections, as well as custom cakes. 

Lucie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her cakes, her career pivot, and her fascinating family (her British grandmother was arrested for being part of the French resistance when she was a teenager and she later went to Le Cordon Bleu; she’s 99!). 

Thank you to Kerrygold, Whole Foods Market, San Pellegrino, Cakebread Cellars, and Bouvet Ladubay for supporting our 10th annual Cherry Bombe Jubilee conference. Join the waiting list here.
