Claire Ptak Is in Love (with a Pink Cake)

We’re joined by baker Claire Ptak, whose desserts are a winning
combination of California flavor and London style—and even
royalty agrees. She shares her favorite recipes and reveals the
behind-the-scenes details of being chosen to bake the cake for
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. Plus, Rowan Jacobsen
crash-lands into the Amazon for an up-close look at wild cacao
harvesting; Adam Gopnik revisits his mother’s sourdough bread;
Cheryl Day answers your toughest baking questions; and we make a
Hot Milk Sponge Cake just in time for spring. (Originally aired
May 12, 2023).
