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

Beautifully crafted, French-inspired desserts from the founder of the beloved New York City bakery, From Lucie.

“Lucie’s book is impossible to browse without feeling a little spark of happiness. These are desserts that invite you to dream.”—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award–winning author of Dorie’s Anytime Cakes

In Cake From Lucie, Lucie Franc de Ferriere—the owner and creative force behind East Village bakery From Lucie—shares her collection of charming, inventive desserts that celebrate the beauty of homemade baking.

Raised in the south of France, Lucie learned the art of baking alongside her mother at their family farm and bed-and-breakfast housed in a centuries-old chateau. After moving to New York City, she found herself missing the flavors and traditions of home, and baking became her way of reconnecting with the place she left behind. Her beautifully decorated cakes and pastries quickly gained a devoted following through café pop-ups, eventually inspiring her to open her own bakery.

Now, Lucie brings her signature style to home kitchens with a collection of recipes that embrace creativity, simplicity, and natural beauty. From everyday cakes to impressive celebration desserts, each recipe reflects her French roots and her love of flavors that are elegant without being overly sweet.

Inside, you’ll discover unforgettable treats such as:

• A tender Zucchini Honey Mascarpone Cake bursting with fresh seasonal flavor.
• A stunning Chamomile Cake with Whipped Cream and Strawberry Sumac Jam combining floral, fruity, and citrus notes.
• The simple yet irresistible Blueberry Fennel Loaf for effortless baking.
• The showstopping Blood Orange Olive Oil Princess Cake for adventurous bakers.
• Lucie’s beloved Salted Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies, perfect with an afternoon coffee.
• A spectacular Tiramisu Charlotte designed to impress guests.

Filled with gorgeous photography, stories from Lucie’s French countryside upbringing, and the energy of her New York bakery, Cake From Lucie is more than a cookbook—it’s an invitation to slow down, create something beautiful, and bring a little joy to the table.
