As you know, I love all the scary, spooky parts of Halloween, but sometimes it’s fun to be sweet (and to be a part of a theme). That’s why this year I dressed up as pastry chef extraordinaire Christina Tosi.
Christina is the founder of Milk Bar, a judge on Master Chef Junior, author of some amazing cookbooks (pictured) and the subject of a great episode of Chef’s Table.
I’m a big fan. I made her signature birthday cake for work earlier this year and I regularly mix up this riff on her compost cake (actually made some to accompany this costume).
This costume was my favorite kind. Mostly out of my own closet plus some handmade elements (I embroidered my apron to match the Milk Bar logo). And I honestly had so much fun wearing it. It’s a bit niche, but if you can’t dress up as a famous baker at a food magazine, where can you?
Also, a major shoutout to my friends and coworkers at Taste of Home. We’ve got angel food cake, the Starbucks mermaid, Ina Garten, the Guinness toucan, Bastet, Guy Fieri (the best), a barista and Mermaid Man. Look at this crazy creativity!
