Buttercream & Beyond: What's Next For Cake Artist Aimee France

Today’s guest is Aimee France, the self-taught cake artist also known as yungkombucha420. Aimee is one of the most original cake artists and content creators working today. She’s also one of the cover stars of our brand-new holiday issue of Cherry Bombe Magazine, The Cake Issue, which is especially fitting given how much she’s influenced the cake world over the past few years. A native of New Hampshire and now based in Brooklyn, Aimee built an unexpected career out of flavor exploration, visual whimsy, and sheer work ethic—but as you’ll hear, that path hasn’t been without its challenges. Today, we talk about everything from her famously unique breakfasts and current nut-butter obsession to the injuries that forced her to step back from cake production and rethink her future. Aimee opens up about burnout, entrepreneurship, her changing relationship with baking, and the quarter-life reassessment (we won’t call it a crisis), that she’s navigating right now. We also get into her influences—Tim Burton, claymation films, old-school rap—and the fashion, art, and everyday city moments that fuel her creativity. If you love Aimee’s work, or if you’re in need of a little honesty and reinvention energy, this is the episode for you. Thank you to JW Marriott for supporting our show.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Deep Dive With Justine Doiron Of Justine Snacks

We’re kicking off our 2026 season with Justine Doiron, the beloved creator behind Justine Snacks.

Then, Justine dives into her “obsessive” chocolate chip cookie behavior and the four recipes she developed for her book, specifically her Tall Rye Guy recipe.
