About Layer Cake Parade
Layer Cake Parade means that baking is a procession. Baking a dessert from the past, or from some far off country, parades the dessert down a timeline. You may not be able to travel, but baking these sweet confections transports you. Desserts become souvenirs of a story. They act as artifacts and placeholders for history, memories, and environments.
About the Colorist Catalog
My approach to baking is story telling. Food is not one dimensional, it is a loaded object, filled with meaning. It is all about context.
Here I release Colorist Catalogs. Every few weeks an issue is release. Each new catalog is a clustering of thematic shades, seasonally inspired by a specific location, person, or story in the world. Desserts represent the theme through color and ingredients

About the Author
Did I see myself doing this? Shortly put no.
It’s taken me two years of blogging to find my passion: writing and dessert crafting, fusing the two into this single concept. I keep my posts from the past two years to show that, like the concept of Layer Cake Parade’s “procession” I’ve developed and changed as a blogger.
I work in culinary production where I work on the sets of food television shows, commercials, and celebrity chef demonstrations as well as restaurant kitchens as pastry chef.
Overall…
Not to be cheesy, but in a Betty Crocker cookbook, the lady—though a fictional spokeswoman—makes a valid point about cake. Cake is so central, it is a colossal centerpiece in celebrations, daily interactions, and reaffirms relationships and tradition.
Fusing the gap between tradition and tradition making is what I am here to do. I want to take a long baked recipe and revise it to modern day palates of this flavor filled food world.
I hope you enjoy the recipes and cake projects I post here.
