Culinary Techniques

The culinary techniques that separate good cooking and baking from professional results. Make a batch of cake goop so cakes never stick again, master tempering chocolate for shiny shells and a clean snap, or brown your own butter for richer flavor in cakes, sauces, and savory dishes. These culinary techniques cover the food-science fundamentals every serious cook and baker needs, sweet and savory.

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm a cake artist and recipe developer, and I won Netflix's Is It Cake? Holiday 2 with a hyperrealistic Santa. I write foolproof recipes that explain why things work, not just how.

I also teach full-length cake tutorials, including sculpted cakes, at Sugar Geek University.
