Quarter Sheets’ Hannah Ziskin & Princess Cakes
Quarter Sheets’ Hannah Ziskin & Princess Cakes

Happy 2024! To kick off our new season, host Jessie Sheehan is joined by Hannah Ziskin, pastry chef and co-owner of Quarter Sheets, the Los Angeles pizza place where folks line up for seasonal pies and sheet cakes. The celebrated spot was named one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles by both the New York Times and the LA Times, and Hannah herself was named one of Food & Wine’s best new chefs last year. Jessie and Hannah talk about how to make a Princess Cake, her signature pretty, pastel confection, at home. Learn how to whip up the custard and cream that are layered inside, how to shape the marzipan exterior (it’s not fondant, folks!), and why you should drop your sheet tray (Hannah swears by it).
