Who is the Bookish Baker?

Rob is The Bookish Baker. His obsession with baking predates the pandemic, but all that time off from his primary work as an opera singer definitely helped finetune his skills and he hasn’t slowed down yet. His obsession with reading goes back even further to childhood explorations of fantasy worlds. He’s since broadened his horizons to encompass all genres and targets for 100+ books a year, a goal that is greatly assisted by endless hours of audiobooks while baking in the kitchen. 

Larry is The Bookish Baker’s resident art director, graphic designer, taste tester, and husband. His interests may lie in online racing sim games rather than literature, but he is all in on the baked goods. His only regret in helping Rob start this endeavor is that now he has to share the goodies with others.
