Jessie Sheehan is the coauthor of Icebox Cakes (Chronicle Books) and has contributed to many other cookbooks. She writes, bakes, and develops recipes for sweets in Red Hook, Brooklyn, not far from her beloved Baked, the bakery where she got her start.

"The hard-won result of collection, testing, and tweaking hundreds of heirloom recipes gathered from vintage baking booklets, Jessie Sheehan's The Vintage Baker is a sweet blend of cheeky nostalgia and modern-day baking innovation. Expect to find revamps of classic standards like silky Bavarian Pie with a Mexican Hot Chocolate twist, rich Devil's Food Cake with espresso undertones, and a glossy chocolate- and ginger-glazed update of Molasses Doughnuts."
