Hannah Lee, baking curator – cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and party bakes.

Profile:

Hannah Lee's recipes center on baking for occasions: birthday cakes, seasonal cupcakes, cheesecakes, no-fuss party snacks and treats with a decorative touch. Most of her work sits in Baking, from an apple cinnamon cake made with oil to an orange cupcake with orange cream cheese frosting, with a few breakfast and dinner recipes alongside.

Holiday and party themes run through the collection. Think heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day, salted chocolate hearts, glow-in-the-dark candy apples for Halloween, a slow cooker Reuben dip for a crowd, or cranberry and Brie crostini for the holiday table. Many of these recipes make a set number of pieces, so planning a party tray or a dessert table takes less guesswork.

What ties these recipes together is how approachable they are. Steps are laid out in order, decorating is kept simple, and ingredient substitutions are suggested where they help. Browse her recipes in Baking for your next birthday, holiday or weekend project.
