About Sam Adler
Hi! I’m Sam, and I’m so happy you are here!
Sam Adler is a classically French-trained pastry chef, recipe developer, professional food photographer, and the creator behind Frosting & Fettuccine™, a baking blog founded in 2017. She lives in South Florida with her husband and 3 kids.
Background & Education:
Sam has a BA in Family and Consumer Sciences with a specialized focus in fashion from Queens College (CUNY). She previously worked as a color coordinator in the apparel industry, where she matched fabric samples to precise shades in final products. There she developed a deep appreciation for color, detail, and visual precision. That same eye now shows up in her baking and photography work today.
After taking recreational classes at The Institute of Culinary Education, she went on to train at Le Cordon Bleu in Baking & Pastry Arts. Following graduation, she worked in a custom cake shop before running her own cake business for five years.
In 2017, she founded Frosting & Fettuccine™ and had it trademarked in 2025. She now shares the recipes she wished she had when she first started- clear, reliable, and designed to make baking feel doable AND pretty.
Experience
In addition to her blog, Sam works as a professional food photographer and recipe developer creating content for brands including Alexia Foods, Bob’s Red Mill, Aldi, Cuisinart, Chocolate.com, Halo Top, as well as shoots for local restaurants in the South Florida area.
In 2025 Sam was shortlisted for 2 food photos she took in the World Food Photography Awards.
Most recently, she photographed a cookbook called Make Your Own by Javant Benton that came out in March of 2026 and is a New York Times Bestseller.
A Few Fun Facts About Sam:
- Sam is a hardcore Swiftie and went to 3 Eras tour concerts- LA, Milan (in the pit!), and Miami- and would do it all again in a heartbeat 🫶🏻
- She loves all things coffee but is a decaf drinker because caffeine makes her feel a little crazy.
- She loves Harry Potter ⚡️
- Sam LOVES to travel to Italy, especially Rome and is so in love with the city that she is in the process of buying a second home there. It’s been her dream since she started the blog. She also teaches retreats in Tuscany once a year with a food photography friend.
