B. Dylan Hollis

B. Dylan Hollis is a baking entertainer, bestselling author, and viral social media personality known for breathing new life into forgotten recipes. Born and raised in Bermuda, Hollis pursued jazz piano at the University of Wyoming before stumbling into baking, and internet fame, during the pandemic. What began as a quirky video exploring an old cookbook quickly turned into a phenomenon, with millions tuning in to watch him whip up everything from potato chip cookies to tomato soup cake.

His first cookbook, Baking Yesteryear, became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller, showcasing a decade-by-decade journey through the 20th century’s most surprising and delightful baked goods. From ANZAC Biscuits of the 1910s to Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake of the 1940s, Dylan highlights the creativity of home bakers across eras while sprinkling in humor, history, and the occasional spectacular failure.

In his highly anticipated follow-up, Baking Across America, Hollis takes readers on a cross-country culinary road trip, celebrating 100 uniquely American recipes. With signature wit and vintage flair, he explores desserts and baked treasures from every state—beignets in New Orleans, sheet cakes in Texas, Boston Cream Pie in Massachusetts—while uncovering the history and stories that shaped them.

As a speaker, Hollis is as entertaining on stage as he is online. His talks blend history, comedy, and personal storytelling, making him a perfect fit for corporate events, universities, associations, libraries, and culinary festivals. With his unique ability to connect past traditions to present-day creativity, Hollis inspires audiences to find joy in experimentation, nostalgia, and the simple act of baking together.

Hollis has been featured across national media, and his energetic presence and sharp humor have earned him an ever-growing global fanbase.
