Baste Cut Fold

Hey! I’m Becky. I’m a professional costume designer as well as a recipe developer, food writer, stylist/photographer, and classically trained pastry chef. I earned the prestigious Diplôme de Pâtisserie (French pastry techniques diploma) from Le Cordon Bleu London, and an MSc in Culinary Innovation from Birkbeck, University of London. I also hold a Professional Chocolatier’s Certificate from Ecole Chocolat and have studied specialist techniques such as gumpaste flower-making and sugarwork. I hope you enjoy following along as I share recipes, techniques, baking tips and more.

And yes, I chose the name “Baste Cut Fold” because each word doubles as both a sewing term and a cooking term, reflecting my two worlds–costumes and confections!
