Creative Living Series: Matt Lewis & Renato Poliafito November 15, 2012

Once upon a time, two bored cubicle dwellers in the world of advertising dreamed of coffee and cake, and merging those passions into a business. Dream became reality in 2005 when Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito opened Baked in an abandoned storefront church in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Despite a series of missteps, Baked is now both a neighborhood spot and an award-winning bakery (its brownies were recognized by Oprah as a "favorite thing"). Lewis and Poliafito, authors of 'New Frontiers in Baking and Baked Explorations,' take you through the radical ups and downs of chasing a dream--and serve up some of their heavenly wares.
