Shauna Sever "Marshmallow Madness!"
The Next Door Baker.
With her easy, fun and accessible approach to baking and entertaining, she inspires both the pastry proficient and baking-phobic alike to tie their apron strings and head into the kitchen. Whether it’s an easy savory tart for a weeknight supper, a birthday cake for the office or a decadent dessert to impress friends at a dinner party, Shauna gives you the know-how to bake up simple, flavorful recipes that are good for the soul and get people talking. Shauna’s passion for baking started at an early age, when she attempted to sell day-glo confections made from doctored cake mix, canned frosting, and copious amounts of food coloring to her third-grade classmates. Needless to say, the business never really took off. But after many years of practice as a self-taught baker (and a stint at San Francisco’s famed Tante Marie’s Cooking School), Shauna’s got it down. With her first cookbook, Marshmallow Madness! From Quirk Books published in February 2012; Her second cookbook coming in Fall 2012; Piece of Cake, a popular food blog named one of the top 50 food blogs by Babble.com; and the launch of Bake Sale Bakery, a small batch baking and dessert catering business, Shauna is matching her skills and her passion to make baking accessible to everyone
