Oakland’s Bake Sum bakery is getting a cookbook — and a new location in Alameda

The Brief

  • Joyce Tang, founder of Oakland’s Bake Sum bakery, has a cookbook due out Sept. 1 and available for pre-order now, co-authored with San Francisco Chronicle food critic Soleil Ho.
  • Bake Sum recently opened a second location in Alameda, where lines have stretched to about an hour long since opening.
  • The New York Times named Bake Sum’s Croissubi — a croissant riff on the Hawaiian spam musubi — one of the 25 best dishes in the country.

Oakland, Calif. When Joyce Tang left the tech world to open a bakery, she wasn’t sure how the story would end.

Six years later, it’s being published.
