Meet Zoe Francois, The Sweet Sensation Behind Zoe Bakes
b'After an unconventional childhood, Zo\\xeb Fran\\xe7ois thought the structure of corporate America seemed very appealing. But once she got there, she realized a desk job was not her future and she started baking to deal with the professional doldrums. That led to a stint at the Culinary Institute of America and the start of a fascinating career. Today, Zo\\xeb is the star of "Zo\\xeb Bakes" on the Magnolia Network and the author of "Zo\\xeb Bakes Cakes," her first solo cookbook. Zo\\xeb has become known for her beautiful signature baked goods, including puffy pavlovas and layer cakes coated in torched meringue, that she features on her popular Instagram account. Zo\\xeb joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the twists and turns her life has taken and the sweet life is so satisfying. \\n\\nThank you to Kerrygold for supporting today\\u2019s show.
