Renowned for the wedding cake she created for Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle, Claire Ptak knows there's nothing like a cake when
it comes to expressions and celebrations of love. A Chez Panisse
alum, Ptak is a Northern California native who now runs the wildly
successful Violet Bakery in London. Reflecting on her upbringing
and love of in-season produce, she shares 75 sweet and savory
creations, including Huckleberry Basil Sugar Scones, Peaches and
Cream Angel Food Cake, and a strawberry-coconut meringue cake. Her
bakes are homey yet elevated, made with the best possible
ingredients, so as to extract the best possible flavors. Included
are gluten-free, refined sugar-free and vegan bakes, as well as the
sought-after recipe for the Duke and Duchess's lemon elderflower
cake. Featuring gorgeous photographs shot in both England and
California, Love is a Pink Cake is a treasure trove of inspiration
for anyone eager to emulate Ptak's unique sensibility and dreamy
creations in their own kitchen.
