From Lucie
From Lucie was founded by French expat Lucie Franc de Ferriere, who began baking cakes in her Lower East Side apartment during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Flash forward to 2022, her small project of dreamy organic cakes — each topped with local flowers — has culminated to an East Village brick and mortar bakery. We asked this one-woman-bakeshop to take us on a day in her life.
Breaking Down With Lucie Franc de Ferriere
“I wake up, go straight into the shower and dress up in the dark to not wake up my fiance. So I tend to end up with unlatching socks more often than not.
I then walk my dog Dalida in the park and come back home and feed her.
I then either make myself an earl grey tea or make myself an oat matcha even though it upsets my stomach but I just love it too much.”
“I look over my emails and try to get through as many as possible but I usually get a call from one of my contractors to come and check out the future bakery and help with something. ”
“I look over my orders for the day and start preparing everything and decorate my cakes with flowers to have the first cake pick up ready for 12.30pm.”
“Drop off my last orders for the day and start cleaning up the kitchen.
”
“I walk my dog and prepare a list of ingredients and flowers I need for the following day.”
“Do some last email and sometimes some late night baking or go out for an event.”
“Go to sleep and do it all over again the next day.
”
