Chic culinary artist and confectioner Julia Baker, serves as founder, head chef and CEO of Julia Baker Confections. Originally beginning her career as a statistician, Julia ultimately followed her passion for food and took her personal and professional dreams in another direction. Julia believed that learning classical French techniques would be essential to creating extraordinary cuisine, and promptly moved to Paris to enroll in culinary school at the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu Paris.
In 2002, Julia graduated first in her class and obtained the Grande Diplôme de Cuisine & de Pâtisserie – the highest diplomas in both pastry and cuisine from the school. Due to her high ranking, Julia was granted a prestigious internship under famed Alain Ducasse protégé, Jean-Louis Nomicos. In order to refine her skills in classic cake decoration, Julia continued her studies with Sue MacMahon, famed sugar-paste flower artist and chef of The Queen Mum’s 100th birthday cake.
Though well-versed in all areas of cuisine, Julia realized that her true passion was in the creation of desserts and chocolate. In 2004, she moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and founded Gateaux & Chocolats, which served as a catering company prior to establishing Julia Baker Confections in 2006. Today, Julia Baker Confections focuses exclusively on luxury chocolates and custom cake creations. Her sweet creations have garnered Julia notoriety as the “Chocolatier to the Stars” and singer/songwriter Alicia Keys has called Julia “breathtakingly talented.” Among the many celebrities Julia has made chocolates for are Bono & U2, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Aniston, and Britney Spears.
As head chef and CEO of Julia Baker Confections, Julia personally writes and creates all of her recipes and trains her select employees in the creation of her high quality desserts – all of which are made from scratch without any preservatives or artificial ingredients. Each day she produces her signature French caramel and chocolate mousse, as well as tailored chocolate blends made from top chocolate producers. Along with creating custom chocolate orders in her Scottsdale-based factory, she is solely responsible for the design and construction of her legendary custom cakes which are reserved as far as 2 years in advance. All cakes are hand-designed by Julia and unique for each occasion, ranging from simply moist white wedding cakes to decadently rich chocolate creations.
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup 55- to 60-percent chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
3 cups whole milk, plus more if needed
DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil, and then pour it over the chocolate. Whisk well until the chocolate melts.
Return the ganache to a saucepan and heat with 1 cup of the whole milk. Add more milk to taste, up to 3 cups (or more for small children).
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon salted butter
Cocoa powder, for coating
DIRECTIONS
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan. Meanwhile in a separate pan, mix the sugar and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Once the sugar starts to turn amber, swirl the pan to evenly distribute the color. Remove from the heat and pour in the hot heavy cream, whisking to combine.
Pour the caramel over the chocolate chips and whisk until the chocolate melts, then stir in the butter. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and chill in the fridge until completely set, at least 45 minutes.
Once set, use a teaspoon to scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture. Roll in your hands until round and roll in cocoa powder to coat.
