How does Halloween inspire your lifestyle?
Because my maternal family comes from Galicia, Spain (a Celtic area where bagpipes are played and kilts are worn), Halloween has a much deeper meaning for me. Celtic tradition divides the year into two halves, and the dark half of the year begins on October 31 with the Gaelic festival of Samhain. The creepy side of Halloween comes through in the way I decorate my house, how I wear and style my clothes, and of course what I choose to bake.
You have a reputation for being a crafty kitchen witch. What are a few of your favorite cooking and baking tools?
I’ve been cooking for longer than I’ve been baking, but baking provides me with endless creative possibilities. Although I love my electric gadgets, a good wooden spoon and a ceramic bowl can be just as important. I find that certain recipes—like gingerbread, for example—are best made using only those two tools.
HELENA GARCIA
@helenagarciafp
Born in Ceuta, an independent Spanish city in north Africa, Helena spent much of her childhood with her Spanish grandmother in the kitchen. It wasn’t until she moved to Las Vegas as an exchange student that she began baking. She enjoys using American ingredients, including pumpkin, pecans, maple and cinnamon, as well as traditional Spanish flavors like almond and paprika. But Helena’s passion—and uncanny talent—for incorporating all things Halloween into her creations is what earns her the title of “Wicked Baker.”
When did you realize baking was your passion?
I spent a lot of time in the kitchen as a child, and I began cooking and baking for my family in my early teens. When I was growing up, I saw two different approaches to cooking: My mother has always been clean and pragmatic with her cooking, but I tend to take after my grandmother and make a royal mess in the kitchen!
Is it difficult coming up with the creative touches you add to your baked treats?
Giving everything I bake a spooky twist is what makes me happiest. When I was featured on The Great British Bake Off, contestants were provided with weekly briefs for developing recipes. For example, one brief might say, “Make a highly decorated pie that has two flavors and an extra element.” With a prompt like that, my mind immediately goes to Sweeny Todd character Mrs. Lovett—who makes pies with human flesh! I genuinely can’t help turning every bake into some sort of nightmare.
Tell us about your newest cookbook. From what cauldron did the ideas boil over?
My latest cookbook includes recipes for treats I would have in my very own gothic bakeshop. It features a variety of my spooky cookies, cakes and desserts—from Little Black Cat Truffles to Zombie Teddy Bear Cakes—as well as spooky drinks.
How did you come up with the recipe featured in this Magazine?
Almost anything I see can inspire a new idea. When I saw a unicorn cupcake with an ice cream cone for the horn, I thought, “Hmm, a cone like that could be used to hold the hair of the Bride of Frankenstein!”
Do you have any role models who influenced your approach to baking?
When I started creating spooky baked items, I didn’t see any other bakers making things the way I did. That changed when Christine McConnell joined the scene. She’s made some fantastic creations.
What advice would you give to aspiring bakers?
Anyone can bake! Baking is more of an exact measuring discipline than cooking, so you just need to follow the recipe as it is written. Eventually you become confident enough to start adding your own touches to what you bake.
