Madison, WI — The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association added Christina Tosi to the speaker lineup at IDDBA 18. Tosi’s presentation is “Sugar High: The Making of A Dessert Empire.” She will be available for a book signing and will also be presenting an award for IDDBA’s Cake Decorating Challenge. IDDBA’s annual tradeshow runs June 10-12 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Christina Tosi is the CEO and Founder of Milk Bar, called “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country” by Bon Appétit magazine, with locations throughout New York, Toronto, Washington DC, and Las Vegas, with more locations in the works in LA and Boston.
Tosi founded the dessert programs at Momofuku and went on to build a culinary empire of her own. Described by the New York Times as a "border crossing pastry chef”, she opened Milk Bar’s doors in 2008 and has changed the face of baking with her innovative creations like cereal milk™ ice cream, compost cookies® and crack pie®.
The culinary trendsetter and sugar genius is a two-time James Beard award winner, Crain’s New York 40 under 40 honoree and the author of two highly acclaimed cookbooks, Momofuku Milk Bar and Milk Bar Life. Momofuku Milk Bar highlights the cult favorites from the Milk Bar kitchen, and Milk Bar Life captures Milk Bar’s fun-loving culture and off-the-clock recipes that are easy to make at home.
She is a role model to her team of over 200 and is also a big believer in giving back. The highly motivated CEO serves on the board of directors for Hot Bread Kitchen and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Tosi is also a judge on the hit cooking competition series MasterChef and MasterChef Junior (on FOX), playing an integral role in mentoring and making home cooks’ dreams come true.
Join Tosi at IDDBA 18 to learn the secret ingredient to Milk Bar’s success and what’s next for this dessert trendsetter. She will also be presenting the Cake Decorating Challenge “People’s Choice Award” on June 10.
