Cake From Lucie: Recipes and Techniques from the French Countryside to New York City: A Baking Book

Lucie Franc de Ferriere is the owner and head baker of From Lucie, a small East Village bakery known for its whimsical cakes decorated with fresh flowers. Born and raised in Southern France, she learned to bake with her mother on her family’s 165-year-old chateau estate, and later turned to baking in New York City as a way to reconnect with home. What began as café pop-ups quickly grew into a beloved bakery.

In Cake From Lucie, she shares her signature style of beautifully imperfect bakes, from simple everyday recipes to more intricate desserts. Her creations are thoughtfully balanced and less sweet than traditional American baking, allowing subtle, layered flavours to shine. With recipes like zucchini honey mascarpone cake, chamomile cake with strawberry sumac jam, and salted dark chocolate chip cookies, Lucie brings together French countryside charm and New York creativity in every bake.
