Welcome!

Hi, I’m Joanna! Welcome to Lowbrow Fancy, where I share my love of baking in a way that’s fun and approachable—even the things that usually seem intimidating (looking at you, macarons and croissants!). I always put flavour first, and I love sharing little shortcuts and tricks that make your bakes look amazing without needing a pastry school diploma. Baking should be fun, not stressful, and that’s exactly what I’m here for!
