Pastry chef Lauren Tran is on today’s She’s My Cherry Pie! Lauren is the creative force behind @banhbylauren, the popular Vietnamese-American and French bakery in NYC’s Chinatown. Lauren’s menu is a love letter to tradition, family, and flavor with delicious treats like lychee raspberry macarons, steamed rice cakes, and pandan coconut chiffon cake. 💚⁠ ⁠ Lauren joins host @jessiesheehanbakes to share how she turned a pandemic pop-up into one of the city’s most buzzed-about bakeries, the pie contest that helped launch her career, and how her childhood in Seattle, fine-dining training, and Vietnamese roots shape every recipe she creates. Then, the duo walk through Lauren’s recipe for her signature pandan honeycomb cake (swipe thru for a look at it!). ⁠ Thank you to @nordicwareusa and @caprunes for supporting our show!
