Hi, I'm Adriana. I make videos exploring the intersection of baking + science.
I've been a home baker for several years, but I'm also a scientist (MS in Microbiology/Immunology; PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology).
I've spent many years studying biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and chemistry and look at recipe development through the lens of science. This is my passion; I love researching the functions and interplay of all the macromolecules (proteins, starches, sugars, fats) in desserts. I get lost in my research, digesting texts and peer-reviewed publications and distilling down the important tidbits so that I can build recipes.
In addition to my videos, I've also built the Cakeculator, a custom cake recipe app that's free for you to use on my website. As a home baker, it allows you to choose the cake and frosting flavors to build a cake you'd want to make.
You can go to www.sugarologie.com to check it out.
Welcome to my channel and Happy Baking π

For those who were asking for the honey variation of my American Dreamy Buttercream, here it is!
I have a post on the blog here:
www.sugarologie.com/recipes/honey-buttercream-reciβ¦
It's also in the Cakeculator now, just choose "Honey Buttercream" for your frosting:

Which cake do you want to see next? Sprinkle cake (maybe 24 layer like this?) or a mousse cake? (Black Forest perhaps?) π€π§β€οΈ

I've gotten requests on watching how I come up with my recipes - I do have a process for creating and testing - maybe that would be an interesting video for a new flavor?

Ok update on the buttercream cheese frosting - I'm editing carrot cake now but thought this may be helpful to some - confirmed that Philadelphia full fat cream cheese works and meringue powder (from Wilton) works in place of powdered egg whites. Also tested Philadelphia in the tub - the result was ever so slightly runnier in the end. Still workable for piping and smoothing, but if you have issues, add a little bit more butter to offset the decrease in fat content they use for this kind of cream cheese.
I'll update the description in the video, which can be found here:

Alright American bakers, what are we baking on this week of gratefulness? π¦ππΌπ§‘ My family asks for the weirdest things so it's peach pie or banana cream pie. (I've created monsters - they can ask for whatever they want and usually get it)

Hi everyone! Uploads have been sparse as I've been doing lots of stuff, behind the cameras, I suppose. One of which is my name update! My channel is now Sugarologie, as I feel like it's a better reflection of who I am as a baker and what I hope I can help with on here. :)
Also, you'll be seeing lots more shorts on the channel. Short form vids are pretty easy for me to make since I've been participating in a couple programs (I was in Adobe over the summer and am currently in a TikTok program) to craft my editing skills π, and they're often things I can't fit into a whole tutorial and extra little bits that don't require a whole video to produce. I still try to make them as useful as possible and in the same style as my long forms.
Hope you all are having a wonderful November, and I'll be posting some fun longer stuff very very soon.

Hey bakers π Happy pre-Fall? (from the northern hemisphere) I'm ready for apple pie and all things cozy... Gearing up for some fun stuff on my channel, but you may have noticed (or not?) that I'm publishing some shorts. At first I was hesitant to do so, as I try to be as detailed as possible here to help with baking.
But I often come up with little tips that either don't make it into a video or don't need more than a minute to explain. So I figure if they're helpful, I might as well post them up here in case you don't have access to TikTok, where I post these types of vids.
Anyways, if shorts aren't your cup of tea, feel free to scroll past, as I will continue with my long format as well.
Speaking of apple pie! ...here's a pic of this apple pie cheesecake I made this past weekend π§‘

Hello fellow bakers! Apologies if I haven't been replying to comments etc., there's a few things major things I've been working on, from reprogramming my cake recipe app to migrating my website to figuring out how to help out my sister bake her son's wedding cake π±
She's hoping to make a four (!!!) tier cake for them in about a month or so and I live in a different state as her, so I'm trying to help out as much as I can (at least logistically) from here. As a home baker, I have never made a cake so big in my life.
Have any of you? Am I crazy?
I once made 300 mini pies for my brother in law's wedding, but this is a whole new ball game for me. We'll see how this goes lol... π
I hope to upload more as I move along with these projects but gosh it's been a lot for me lately. Hopefully I can come up with some fun videos during this process πππ
Have you ever made a multi-tiered cake?
