Albert can sometimes have the charisma of a wet blanket—quiet, awkward, and not particularly known for lighting up a room. But mention cake? Suddenly he’s animated, articulate, and borderline poetic. From layered genoise to mirror glazes, Albert has strong opinions and an encyclopedic knowledge of confections. He’s been known to derail entire conversations with a passionate rant about the superiority of Swiss meringue over American buttercream and once cried actual tears over a perfectly executed croquembouche. Get him talking about desserts, and it’s like flipping on a spotlight.
