Everywhere around the world, there are beautiful beaches that beckon us to come and
experience all the amazing treasures they have to offer. Lei Shishak is blessed to live and work
in Southern California, a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean. She can see the water from her
loft’s second floor windows and the view is nothing short of inspiring. It was here that Beach
Town Baking was born just these few steps from the waves.
Lei wanted to offer her simple yet creative recipes for wonderful baked goods to anyone
yearning to get away to the beach. Beach Town Baking was conceived as a way to provide every
baker an opportunity to escape to a beautiful place by the beach just by opening her blog and
forthcoming book.
Inspired by her beach town location and her love of that lifestyle, Chef Lei creates high quality,
made-from-scratch desserts that transport you to islands and beaches you’ve always hoped
to visit. Get ready to hit the beach through recipes like Cocoa Island, Red Velvet Riviera, Piña
Colada Highway, Windswept Cherry Pie and the Malibu Shimmer ice cream sandwich. Her
recipes are designed to take you to any number of wonderful places, turning the task of baking
into a virtual journey to a beachside paradise, filled with the sounds and aromas of a place
where you can just get away from it all. Take Bali for example, the inspiration for her Modern
Snickerdoodle recipe. The double dose of Indonesian cinnamon in this cookie releases an
intoxicating aroma that rivals the experience of an authentic Bali beachside cinnamon scrub. No
passport required; just some baking tools, a vivid imagination and a fun attitude.
