The pastry chef, Saffitz, was born on September 16, 1986, in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Growing up, she was a studious and academically driven kid who later enrolled at Harvard.

After completing college, she was involved in many things, including writing, cooking, and an internship job at the 9/11 Museum. But nothing gave her the sense of happiness that preparing food did.

As a result, she signed up for culinary school and subsequently graduated from McGill University in 2013. Later, she became a chef [who also writes] and worked as a contributing editor at Bon Appétit.

The talented chef has also penned a New York Times Best Seller cookbook, Dessert Person (2020).
