A former Hollywood insider trades the Hollywood Hills for Green Acres—and lives to tell in this area it in this hilarious, poignant treat of a memoir.
As head of her celebrity sister’s production company, Gesine Bullock-Prado had a closet full of designer clothes and the ear of all the influential studio heads, but she was miserable. The only solace she found was in her secret leisure activity: baking. With every sugary, sweet confection to emerge from her oven, Gesine took one step away from her glittery, empty existence—and one step closer to her right destiny. Before long, she and her spouse left the trappings of their Hollywood lifestyle behind, ending up in Vermont, where they started the gem known as Gesine Confectionary. And they never looked back. Confections of a Closet Master Baker follows Gesine’s journey from sugar-obsessed child to miserable, awkward Hollywood insider to reluctant master baker. Chock-full of eccentric characters, perfectly meticulous descriptions of her baking administer, ceaselessly amusing renditions of Hollywood nonsense, and recipes, the ingredients of her tale will appeal to anyone who has ever considered leaving the life they know and completely starting over.
