Hi! I’m Allison…

I’m a baker and *content creator* based in NYC. You’ve probably seen me on Instagram or TikTok. For instance…

I went to French pastry school (so you don’t have to).

Or I sold cookies out of my parents home.

Or I ran tasting menu I ran in college with my friends.

Or I made several croquembouches, macarons, and cakes (ugly and 10 feet long).

Point is I have a lot of pastry projects going on and I’m excited to take you on more with me!

Why Subscribe?

By subscribing you’ll get straight to your inbox (or Substack App) notifications of my latest recipes and whereabouts.

Even though English was my worst subject in high school, I must admit they were on to something when they said writing is useful tool. Stories on Instagram are fleeting and the TikTok alogrithm won’t push out my earnest updates, but Substack? Substack’s forever 😤

Jokes aside, it’s much easier to archive recipes and share extra tips and details that doesn’t make it into my normal content because let’s be honest even I get distracted in my own videos and yap about things unrelated to the baking at hand.

Recipes?

I share a mix of recipes from classic pastries that are both nostalgic to me as an Asian American and inspired by my French pastry background.

I must admit, I’m still new to recipe development. I’ve only started properly recipe developing in the year of 2025, so I’m trying to post as many recipes as I can and improve my clarity and process as I go.
