Hi, everybody. You're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond,

coming to you from Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City.

Today's guest is Lucy Fronde-Farreire, the beloved baker behind the East Village Bakery from Lucy.

If you've never been, you need to plan a trip. Stop by her charming bakery and get a mini cake and some coffee and walk around. I love

the neighborhood she's in and all the great female founded shops there. Anyway, Lucy is here to talk

about her new book, Cake from Lucy, recipes and techniques from the French countryside to New York City.

It's out tomorrow, and it's as lovely as she is. We also talk about her Cherry Bomb cover. Yes,

she was one of the cover stars of our holiday cake issue, her upbringing in France, her badass grandmother, who fought the Nazis, I mean, come on, and lots more.

Stay tuned for my chat with Lucy Fron de Ferrier.

Our Jubilee Conference is less than two weeks away.

It's taking place on Saturday, April 25th, here in New York City at the Glasshouse.

Now, let's check in with today's guest. Lucy Fran de Ferrier,

welcome back to Radio Cherrybaum. Thank you so much for having me again. I'm so excited.

You are here because your book is finally here. I feel like we've been talking about this forever.

It's here. It's here. I know. I feel like it was going to take forever. And then I woke up one day

and I was like, oh my God, it's next week. What is going on?

Am I remembering correctly that you almost thought it was too soon to do a book?

My book agent Lee, who I love the pieces, is kind of like my second mom at this point.
