Why Thousands of Home Bakers
Trust Faye Palmqvist

I’m a classically trained pastry chef with over 20 years of experience — and I believe that the best baking starts with two things: ingredients that matter, and a clear understanding of why your recipes work.

I created this platform to be the place I wish I’d had when I started baking at home:
No fluff. No guesswork. Just professional techniques made simple, and clean, flavour-forward desserts that make people say wow.

Whether you're troubleshooting a ganache, prepping for a dinner party, or trying to scale a sponge recipe to fit your tin — this is where you’ll find the answers.

You bring the passion. I’ll give you the clarity and confidence to match.
