What’s A Charm Cake? Elizabeth Mayhew On NYC’s Most In-Demand Party Cakes

Today’s guest is Elizabeth Mayhew, the cake artist known for her custom charm cakes. Think charm bracelets, but edible! Elizabeth joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her unique decorating style and how it came to be. She also guides Jessie through the chocolate charm cake she made for Cherry Bombe's Alex Mill event last year, and explains why her buttercream is so rich and silky (lots of egg yolks and homemade vanilla) and how she gets her colors just right. Plus, Elizabeth shares her trick for "erasing" a mistake and why being present and having patience are essential to baking. Thank you to Plugra Premium European Butter and California Prunes for supporting our show. Hosted by Jessie SheehanProduced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine BakerEdited by Jenna SadhuEditorial Assistant Londyn CrenshawRecorded at CityVox StudiosShe’s My Cherry Pie is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
