Jake E. Lee Launches “Backstage Pastry Truck” With Sweet Surprise: Bake at the Moon!
Jake E. Lee, the legendary guitarist known for his electrifying riffs with Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands, has just rolled out a project that no one saw coming—and it’s not a new album or tour. This time, it’s all about pastries. Yes, you read that right. The iconic rocker has officially launched his very own backstage pastry truck, playfully named Bake at the Moon.
In a heartfelt message shared with fans this week, Jake announced the debut of his culinary side project:
“Backstage pastry truck, Bake at the Moon! Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. Means a lot to me. And shout out to Amanda and Alexis—Amy and I enjoyed your company.”
The announcement, delivered with Jake’s usual mix of humor and sincerity, immediately caught fire among fans and fellow musicians. After decades of shredding onstage, Lee is now channeling his passion into something far more sugary but equally soulful: baking.
From Guitar Hero to Pastry Pro
For those who know Jake E. Lee, this venture might not be as surprising as it sounds. Over the years, the guitarist has spoken about his love for cooking and his belief in doing things “from scratch”—whether that’s a blistering solo or a homemade dessert.
“I’ve spent my life creating things with my hands,” Jake said in a recent interview. “Music, sure, but I also love the art of food. There’s something very rock ’n’ roll about being backstage, sharing something homemade before you hit the stage. Bake at the Moon is about that vibe.”
The pastry truck is not just a novelty—it’s become a gathering place at festivals and venues. Before and after shows, musicians, crew members, and VIP fans have been lining up to sample Jake’s signature treats. From chocolate-drizzled moon pies to wild berry crumble bars, the menu is as eclectic as his guitar solos.
A New Spin on Rock Hospitality
“Backstage food usually means cold pizza and lukewarm coffee,” Lee joked. “I thought—why not change that? Let’s make it something memorable.”
And memorable it is. According to those lucky enough to experience Bake at the Moon firsthand, the truck isn’t just about food—it’s about connection. Jake personally serves the pastries, often alongside his partner Amy, chatting with fans, fellow musicians, and crew members in an atmosphere that feels more like a campfire than a rock show.
“Jake made me a lavender scone and then asked about my band,” said Alexis, one of the fans Lee gave a shout-out to in his message. “It was surreal but super cool.”
Amanda, another guest mentioned by Jake, shared a similar sentiment: “We always knew Jake E. Lee could shred, but who knew he could bake? Hanging out with him and Amy felt like family.”
A Sweet Legacy
Jake E. Lee’s contribution to rock is undeniable. From his explosive solos on Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon album to the bluesy fire of Badlands, his guitar work has inspired generations. But Bake at the Moon shows a softer, more personal side of the musician—a side that prioritizes community, comfort, and a bit of backstage fun.
“Rock music isn’t just about the performance,” Jake explained. “It’s about the people you meet, the moments you share, and sometimes the pastries you eat together at 2 a.m.”
The project has also sparked speculation about whether Jake will turn Bake at the Moon into a full-fledged brand. Some fans are already asking for recipe books, cooking classes, and even potential TV segments. For now, though, Jake seems content to keep it grassroots and intimate, focusing on the joy of sharing something sweet with friends old and new.
What’s Next?
While Jake E. Lee hasn’t ruled out new music projects—rumors of a solo album persist—he’s clearly found a new passion that complements his life on the road. The Backstage Pastry Truck isn’t just a gimmick; it’s an extension of his creative spirit.
“I never want to do the same thing twice,” Jake said with a smile. “Whether that’s in music or in life. So if I’m not making noise with a guitar, maybe I’m making a little noise in the kitchen.”
As Bake at the Moon continues to make its rounds at rock festivals and backstage areas across the country, fans are getting more than just a concert—they’re getting a taste of Jake E. Lee’s newest form of expression.
And judging by the reaction so far, it’s a hit.
Rock on—and bake on.
