Jason' s love of shaking up tradition is evident. Adding fruits to bolster flavors in familiar baked goods is groundbreaking . . . steering us to experiment, try new combinations of flavors, and expand our baking vocabulary. -- From the foreword by Martha Stewart There are many superlatives that can be used to describe Jason Schreiber as a person, a baker, a cake designer, an artist, and now a writer. But here' s my favorite: Jason is simply delightful. This book will not only teach you how to bake better, it will make you feel good. -- Ron Ben-Israel, cake designer and television host This exquisitely designed cookbook offers an update to the fruit cake, that retro Christmas classic. The book' s most stunning feature is photographs of cake slices, cupcakes, and other baked goods arranged in repeating patterns and in a brown, orange, and gold color palette that offers a fitting nod to the ' 70s, the fruit cake' s heyday. -- Booklist Schreiber debuts with an inspiring collection of recipes for cakes enriched with fruit that will be a revelation for fruitcake skeptics. A sharp design comprising easy-to-follow ingredient grids and modern-vintage-feel photography adds a polished touch. This will tantalize bakers seeking a modern approach to classic desserts. -- Publishers Weekly
Food stylist Jason Schreiber honed his craft at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, but his education began years earlier in the kitchen of his childhood home in suburban New Jersey, where he churned out baked goods of all shapes and sizes. After completing his studies, Jason worked alongside celebrity cake maker Ron Ben-Israel, who taught him the importance of precision and the value of camaraderie in a professional kitchen. After five years of creating jaw-dropping cakes with Ron and his team, Jason took the plunge into the cutthroat world of New York City freelance food styling and recipe development. Within a week, his work was featured on the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings, and with that his new career was born. He continues to contribute regularly to Martha' s magazines, books, and television shows and has expanded his clientele to others such as Food & Wine, Real Simple, and Delish (to name a few), as well as many nationally available household brands and products. Jason lives in Brooklyn, New York, and he doesn' t have a dog, yet.
