Beth Somers

Beth is the Culinary Specialist in the test kitchen at Wilton. She spends her days examining Wilton products to make sure that they are up to par, helping refine ideas for new Wilton items, and developing fun and simple recipes. The recipes on all Wilton bakeware and Wilton.com originate in the test kitchen, and it's Beth's favorite part of the job. Before joining Wilton, Beth worked as a cake decorator and pastry chef. She's baked, decorated, and delivered hundreds of wedding and birthday cakes, and loves the idea that in some small way, her creations have played a role in so many celebrations. When she's not in the test kitchen, you can find Beth cooking and baking for her friends and family, and dining out all over Chicago.
