I’m Anni Seyler baker, relentless recipe tester, professional butter enthusiast, and the person behind The Flaky Truth. I’m 32, a mom of two, and I spend most of my week with flour somewhere it shouldn’t be (usually my hair).

My Journey

I grew up between two worlds. My mother is German, my father is American, and I spent most of my life in Germany which means I was raised on the smell of yeast dough rising on a slow Sunday morning, butter folded into pastry by hand, and the kind of careful, patient baking that European kitchens are quietly famous for. But there was always an American thread running through it too: my dad’s chocolate chip cookies, the pies, the comfort baking that doesn’t fuss about being perfect as long as it’s warm.
