Hi, I'm Adriana. I make videos exploring the intersection of baking + science. I've been a home baker for several years, but I'm also a scientist (MS in Microbiology/Immunology; PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology). I've spent many years studying biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and chemistry, and I approach recipe development through a scientific lens. This is my passion; I love researching the functions and interplay of all the macromolecules (proteins, starches, sugars, fats) in desserts. I get lost in my research, digesting texts and peer-reviewed publications, and distilling down the important tidbits so that I can build recipes. In addition to my videos, I've built the Cakeculator, a free custom cake recipe app available on my website. As a home baker, you can choose the cake and frosting flavors to build a cake you'd want to make. You can go to www.sugarologie.com to check it out. Welcome to my channel and Happy Baking 🍓
