Things Bakers Know: The King Arthur Baking Podcast

All About Birthday Cake, featuring Cheryl Day and Bronwen Wyatt


Listen Later

Today it’s everybody’s birthday, because we’re talking about birthday cakes with two Southern baking superstars.  

We’re thrilled to have both Cheryl Day, award-winning cookbook author and former owner of Savannah’s famed Back in the Day Bakery, and Bronwen Wyatt, of Bayou Saint Cakes in New Orleans, join to share their top cake secrets and best tips for beginner birthday cake bakers. In Ask the Bakers, Jessica and David dig into your urgent cake questions, from demystifying the reverse-creaming method to what to do if your cakes keep sinking in the oven. And as always, they close out the episode with a big birthday cake hot take (featuring Jessica’s opiniated protege, our producer Rossi) and the best recipes they’re baking this week.
