Patti Paige

Patti Paige is an artist, baker, and owner of Baked Ideas, a custom bakery in New York City. She and her small staff decorate cookies and cakes that reflect her affinity for clean simple design, vibrant color, originality, humor, and artistic flair. Memories of the shaped cookies her grandmother used to make, a master’s degree in painting, and a lifelong habit of making things in and out of the kitchen have resulted in confections that are as fun and fabulous to look at as they are to eat.

Patti is involved in all aspects of the baking world, from recipe development to making cookie videos and everything in between. She makes all her own cookie cutters, including her new adorable set of Kama Sutra shapes and a line of 10 yoga pose cutters (and cookies) that were featured in O Magazine. Check out her first book You Can't Judge a Cookie by Its Cutter, and her newest The Gingerbread Kama Sutra.
