Studio Baked

A Baking Blog Dedicated to Sweet and Savory Baked Recipes

Hi. Nice to meet you!

I’m Michele. I am a former Digital Marketing Manager turned professionally trained pastry chef turned blogger and food photographer with a serious addiction to carbs…and butter. I graduated from the professional pastry program at San Francisco Cooking School and externed at the highly acclaimed Manresa Bread in Los Gatos. To say that I am passionate about food is an understatement. Food is my love language.

xo, Michele

About Studio Baked

A BAKING BLOG DEDICATED TO THE HOME BAKER & CARB ENTHUSIAST

Throughout my journey into the wild world of pastry, I have had the unique privilege and opportunity to learn from some badass, James Beard award-winning pastry chefs and bakers. And, along the way, I have accumulated binders full of recipes from pastry school and countless notebooks filled with detailed notes. As a result, I have created Studio Baked to serve as a resource and destination where I can share all of my baking experience and knowledge in the kitchen with you. 

To me, there’s no greater satisfaction than connecting with others and knowing I can be a small part in making someone’s day brighter. What I appreciate and admire the most about food is its undeniable power to bring people together and create a sense of community. Food is meant to be shared and gives us a reason to gather and connect with others; whether it be telling stories, honoring our culture and heritage, preserving long-standing family traditions, celebrating our loved ones, or capturing precious moments. So I hope my recipes inspire you to get baking and experiment in the kitchen. And, most importantly, bring you joy and a dash of baking therapy. Happy baking!

Voluntarily starting a detox with your hubby in a Voluntarily starting a detox with your hubby in a pandemic during the holiday season is a really, really smart idea. Said no one everrrr. And now all I can think about are cakes, cookies, bread, pasta, and all the carbs. What I would do to have a piece of this peanut butter snack cake with chocolate frosting right now. Luckily the detox will be done just in time for me to stuff my face on Christmas. Let the countdown begin!
Hello Monday. We meet again. Starting the week wit Hello Monday. We meet again. Starting the week with a batch of my chewy peanut butter cookies. Because Mondays deserve alllll the cookies. So thankful for my freezer stash of cookie dough to get me through the day.
Looking for a holiday baking project? Then look no Looking for a holiday baking project? Then look no further. If you’re a lemon lover like me, then this cranberry lemon meringue tart is calling your name. Helloooo bright, fresh citrus notes! The tart starts with a buttery pate brisée crust and is filled with a layer of cranberry orange gelée and silky lemon cream. Then it is finished with a fluffy cloud of toasted Italian meringue. Because if your meringue isn’t sky high, then you’re doing it wrong. Search for the recipe in my blog archives!
One day late to @cosetteskitchen’s #virtualcooki One day late to @cosetteskitchen’s #virtualcookieparty2020, but I’m here. And I bring you @milkbarstore’s famous cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookies. They’re crispy yet chewy, sweet and salty, and have caramel notes throughout. No surprise why they’re so famous. However, these cookies are notoriously finicky, so I decided to troubleshoot these babies after reading all the failed horror stories. And after making a few adaptations, I’ve finally landed on my version. And they’re perfect. No spreading, no burning. Recipe for these babies are on the blog along with all my tips and tricks!
My weekend plans include a slice of this apple oli My weekend plans include a slice of this apple olive oil cake and attempting to put up Christmas lights on our house. Wish us luck. We’re first timers. But we can’t be the only house on the block with no decorations. Gotta keep up with neighbor’s blinking icicle lights, blinking palm tree, blow up Santa, and candy canes. Are you the type to go all out decorating your house for the holidays?

Mike's cookbook, Even Better Brownies, is finally out into the world and I couldn’t be more excited. To celebrate, I made his peanut butter cornflake crunch brownies. Obviously.
