This episode is part of our She’s My Apple Pie miniseries, presented in partnership with Yes! Apples, where host Jessie Sheehan hangs out with some of the sweetest bakers around to talk signature bakes, fall baking, and seasonal treats.
In this episode, Jessie is joined by Morgan Knight, founder of Saint Street Cakes bakery in Brooklyn. Morgan joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her lifelong love of baking, from afternoons spent with her grandmother’s vintage cookbooks to a childhood decorating class that became her unofficial pastry school. She shares how these cookbooks and animated cakes from Disney movies guided her now-signature Lambeth-style designs. She also shares how she turned her college side hustle into a full-fledged cake business.
Then, the duo dive into Saint Street Cakes’ Apple Cider Donut Cake, a fall favorite at the bakery. It’s made with local applesauce and a special apple cider soak, infused with Yes! Apples EverCrisp apples. Morgan explains how she gets tall cake layers, why the soak plays a pivotal part in making this cake, and how she makes her fluffy buttercream.
