Welcome to Bake Lab

Hello! I’m Andrea. My first career was in classical voice, but after life on tour, my desire for a more grounded lifestyle lead me back to school to earn my degree in Pastry Arts from the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Institute). While in school, I worked as an assistant pastry chef at Taboon, an Israeli-fusion restaurant in Manhattan’s Hells Kitchen. I later worked in the editorial department at Martha Stewart Living, then went on to work as a confectionary artist at Ron Ben-Israel Cakes where I learned the art of cake decorating and sugar flower sculpture. I am passionate about what I do and I love every stage of the process - from meeting with clients to understand their unique vision, to the final reveal!

When I’m not making cakes, I’m playing tennis, backpacking, or snuggling my two kittens, Viva & Leo. I am also a mom/stepmom to four extraordinary young women.
