Experience

Joy Wilson is well known for her daily dabbles in butter and sugar as her blogging alter ego, Joy the Baker. A California girl who now splits her time between New Orleans, LA and Houston, TX, Joy is a 100% taste buds-taught baker and home cook. Since 2008, Joy has shared her indulgent and comforting yet approachable recipes through her popular blog joythebaker.com, inspiring home cooks of all ages to try new things.

Joy is a three-time cookbook author and editor-in-chief of the bi-annual Joy the Baker Magazine. She's also the mastermind behind @drakeoncake. She was featured on the TODAY Show, and now can be found on Simply Recipes.
