Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito left their day-jobs in advertising 5 years ago to open their bakery, Baked, in what was then still rough-and-tumble Red Hook, Brooklyn. Famous for its modern design, both in the bakery-cafe and on the desserts, Baked quickly garnered fans across the USA, including Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey. Matt and Nato published their first book, Baked: New Frontiers in Baking with STC in 2008 to great acclaim. The book was nominated for an IACP award. Matt and Nato opened the second Baked bakery in Charleston in November 2008 and are in talks with a TV production company for an as-yet-unnamed reality show about their work, their bakeries, and themselves.
The authors give their signature "Baked" twists to famous desserts from across the country. Here is their take on 75 of the most treasured desserts: Banana Cream Pie, Black & White Cookies, Mississippi Mud Pie, and more--from the overworked to the under appreciated.
