The baker behind Bakehouse 12 has been chasing that subtle blending of artistic edible chemistry with a passion for balanced-flavor perfection for most of her life. Some of Lindsay’s most cherished memories were of time spent in the kitchen with her English grandmother, making shortbread, or learning about the proportions of flour to sugar to butter in a “proper” apple crumble. Another major source of inspiration and knowledge growing up came from watching her amateur chef father artfully tinker his way through the recipes of his ever-growing library of cook books, which of course included everything ever printed by or about Julia Childs, as well as the all-encompassing Joy of Cooking. Armed with these fundamentals, Lindsay continued to bake as a hobbyist, accumulating much of her technical cake decorating know-how through a combination of studies in figure drawing and acrylic painting, online baking forums, tutorials, and a whole lot of trial & error!
