For Patrick Evans and Jason Becton of MarieBette Café and Bakery in Charlottesville, Virginia, baking is both a science and an art with their stencil series. The series features the faces of noteworthy members of the Black and LGBTQ+ communities for Black History Month and Pride Month, respectively. They do two kinds of stencils, using powdered sugar on the flat top of a chocolate cake, which works well for more detailed stencils, or baked into the flour on top of a loaf of their sourdough bread. “You lose definition with the bread because there’s steam involved,” Evans says, “so it works better with simpler images.”
For the first-time stenciler at home, they’ve created a simple stencil-making and bread-baking tutorial featuring a heart to encompass the spirit of their stenciling series. Check it out in their Culinary Class here.
