About the Author

Cupcakes

Long before I had any idea that they would lead to my own television show, cakes were the Promised Land of my baking existence. When you’re a young buck just learning the basics of mixing, baking, decorating, and piping, cakes are what you aspire to, what your entire professional arc is directed toward achieving.

For me, cakes felt like a certain kind of destiny because my father, Buddy Sr., was so renowned for his deft touch with a pastry bag, and for his distinct designs. Dad didn’t do the kind of theme cakes we’re famous for today—nobody did in those days—but he had a remarkable ability to decorate cakes the way a painter paints on canvas. There was an effortlessness, a weightlessness, to his work—buttercream and whipped cream almost seemed to hover above the cake like clouds; chocolate shavings, too, appeared to dance in the air like confetti; and when he wrote on a cake, well, the words popped like a neon sign. You can teach a baker a lot, but at some point either you’re born with great hands or you’re not. He had them. So do I.

The good news is that you don’t have to be born with the hands of a master to achieve success in cake making and decorating. It’s like anything else in baking: If you take the time and effort to get good at the component parts, the big picture is easier than you might have ever imagined.
