Lauren Dozier On Her Viral Quilt Cookies And Drawing Inspiration From The Past

Lauren Dozier’s cookies are more than just sweet treats. Incorporating influences from fine art, fashion, children’s books, and her ancestors, Lauren has delighted her followers and collaborated with the likes of Loeffler Randall and The Six Bells. She takes vintage and coquette aesthetics to a whole new level with her viral quilt cookies, gingham slice-and-bakes, and other confections, and it’s not surprising to learn she’s inspired by artists including Mary Cassatt, Betye Saar, and Beatrix Potter.

Lauren and host Abena Anim-Somuah discuss Lauren’s unique baking style, how loving vintage things and antiques as Black women can feel complicated at times, and how virtual interactions can lead to meaningful connections in real life.
