Cake From Lucie

Inventive, French-inspired dessert recipes from the founder of the beloved New York City bakery, From Lucie.

Lucie Franc de Ferriere is the owner and head baker at From Lucie, a small bakery in the East Village known for its whimsical baked goods adorned with fresh flowers. Born and raised in Southern France, Lucie grew up baking cakes with her mother at the familys farm and bed-and-breakfast in their 165-year-old chateau, and after moving to New York City, she became homesick and turned to baking for a taste of home. Eventually, Lucies baked goods became so popular at caf pop-ups that she decided to take a leap of faith and open her own bakery.

Now inCake From Lucie, Lucie invites home bakers to join her in creating gorgeously imperfect treats in her signature style, from easy everyday recipes to more intricate showstoppers. Lucies creations are less sweet than American-style baked goods, allowing her subtle and unique flavor combinations to shine.
