Lori Stern is a pastry chef based in Montecito, Southern California. After self-training through YouTube videos, she launched her own business specializing in pastries. From various cakes, she discovered her signature: delicate shortbread cookies topped with edible flowers—so enchanting!
“The first time I made them, I used basics like nasturtium, lavender, and sage,” Lori shares. Drawn to their originality, she researched flowers that hold their color when baked. Each bake reveals, in her words, "a true testimony of natural beauty"—visibly true. Alongside petite cookies, she designs elaborate occasion cakes, hand-decorated.
