Chef Clarice Lam starts online pastry business The Baking Bean
23.05.12
What does the executive chef of a Brooklyn dessert hotspot do with her free time?
Bake, of course.
Clarice Lam , who runs the kitchen at The Chocolate Room, is starting a new side venture, The Baking Bean, an online pastry business bringing custom cakes and monthly desserts straight to your door.
She’ll also be competing in the second season of wedding cake guru Ron Ben-Israel ’s Food Network show “Sweet Genius,” working with — no surprise here — chocolate.
Titled “Dancing Genius,” one of the segments on the March 22 episode has chefs creating cocoa confections with cookies and cheese after watching a live ballet performance.
“I wanted to challenge myself in a new way and that's exactly what I got,” says Lam. “It was definitely a lot harder than I had anticipated. Every single element is unexpected and timed, and of course, there are the cameras.”
Not that Lam is one to do things slowly.
