Graham Herterich, aka The Cupcake Bloke, is well known for creating tasty Bakes with conventional and some very unsual flavour combinations, using traditional Irish recipes as inspiration.

Having learned to bake with his granny at a very young age he went on to become a classically trained chef who re-established his passion for baking as his career progressed, which ultimately lead him to set up The Cupcake Bloke in 2012 and open his first retail store "The Bakery" in Rialto in 2018.

The winner of several Blas na hÉireann Awards and Chef Ireland Awards, Graham is passionate about flavour and quality while bringing an element of fun to his bakes.

BAKE by Graham Herterich is his first book. The book focuses on traditional Irish recipes and bakes, with each “Traditional” recipe getting a “Modern” counterpart.
