SPOTLIGHT: DUANE PARK PATISSERIE
Whether Duane Park Patisserie is baking a $2,500 specialty cake or the 3,000 brownies it gives away for free every Halloween, one thing is certain: “Everything we make has to taste as if it’s the only thing we do, as if we made it specifically for that person,” says founder Madeline Lanciani. Read the Q&A—definitely one of the best in this series—with photographs by Claudine Williams.
