  • From Cakes to Babka: Elana shares her journey from running a wedding cake business to launching a mail-order babka business.

  • The Publishing Path: Insights into Elana’s journey of writing and publishing a cookbook, including her tips for building habits and routines while writing.

  • Mastering Babka: Elana’s expert advice on making babka less intimidating and how she created her unique flavor profiles.
