    About Mike

    Mike Johnson piping crullers

    Hi, and welcome! I’m Mike Johnson, and this little website is my internet home. I’m a self-taught baker, recipe developer, cookbook author, and food photographer that started @mikebakesnyc in 2016 while in law school as a creative outlet; it was a way to combine my love of photography with my insatiable sweet tooth. Now, I'm a licensed attorney who’s left the practice of law to make my dream of working in the food industry full-time come true.

    Mike Bakes NYC focuses on indulgent yet approachable comfort foods and desserts. My blog’s mission is to encourage home-bakers of all experience levels to have fun in the kitchen. With recipes covering everything from pies to cakes to deep-fried mac & cheese balls... it’s a place that always smells delicious, and no one will ever judge you for eating a second piece.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of camera do you use?
    I photograph just about everything with a Canon 5D Mark IV, and I have three primary lenses: 50mm f/1.8 lens, 105mm f/2.8, and 24-70mm f/2.8. I shoot with both natural light and artificial light (depending on the time of day) and use Adobe Lightroom to edit all of my pictures. Find out more tools & resources I use to run my business here.

    Do you have any partnership opportunities?
    Be it sponsored posts, speaking gigs, recipe development, or food photography; I work with a variety of clients to suit their needs. For more information and to get in touch, email my agent: [email protected] or visit my Contact page.
