nostalgic ode to the joy of homemade cake, beautifully photographed and with easy mix-and-match recipes for a sweet lift any day of the week.
Odette Williams is an Australian expat and baking fanatic who now calls Brooklyn home. After becoming a mother, Odette realized that she couldn't find any keepsake apron sets for her young children to don when they baked together, so she made some herself. Friends started asking for aprons for their own children, and in 2013 Odette launched her eponymous brand. Odette Williams products-including flour scoops and cookie cutters-very quickly got picked up by leading retailers, including J.Crew, Anthropologie, ABC Carpet, Le Bon Marche, and Barneys.
