    Read excerpt

    Fran Gealer’s baked goods are every bit as artistic as the work she’s done as a photographer and collage artist. You can see it in the decoration of her cakes, where frosting and fruit are placed with deliberate precision, and in the golden crusts of her pies, filled with fresh fruit and aromatic spices. “I use the cakes as an outlet for art.
