Brown Butter Mochi Bites With Joyce Tang Of Bake Sum Bakery
Saturday, 22 August, 2026

Today’s guest is Joyce Tang, the founder and owner of Bake Sum, a beloved Bay Area bakery known for inventive pastries that blend French technique with flavors and ingredients rooted in Asian American culture. She’s also the co-author of the upcoming book, “Bake Sum: Asian American Pastries, Breads, and Other Treats.” Joyce joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about growing up in an immigrant household, going on dim sum trips with her family, making soybean milk with her mom, and how those experiences helped shape her sense of identity and belonging. She also shares her path from tech to pastry and how her bakery went from wholesale business to pop-up to two brick-and-mortar locations. Then, Joyce walks Jessie through the Brown Butter Mochi Bites recipe from her book, explaining how deeply browned butter adds nutty flavor, why mochiko gives the bites their signature chew, and how a steel mini muffin tin helps create crispy edges and tender centers.
