As a book about cake would demand, this one is a multilayered, amply frosted, delicious concoction with a slice (or more) for everyone.

She interviews famous chefs like Duff Goldman of Food Network's Ace of Cakes and less famous ones like Roland Winbeckler, who sculpts life-size human fi...

Known to wear her heart on her sleeve, Champagne shares the joys and pains of her childhood experiences through a journey of self-discovery, significance, and guidance.
