Icing on the Cake

By the age of twenty, Carrie Berk already had a life's worth of accomplishments under her belt. It's no wonder Bella magazine declared her "an ambitious and dedicated boss babe," and the Wall Street Journal dubbed her "a community-minded young creator." She is a verified content creator across several social media channels, including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and Pinterest, with a monthly engagement of more than 100M. A journalism major in college, Carrie is currently a reporter/contributing writer for HuffPost, Newsweek.com, The Daily Dot, and others, on topics ranging from beauty and style to celebrity and sports. She has served as an on-camera correspondent for TigerBeat and Girls' Life, covering red carpet arrivals and interviewing celebs at the Radio Disney Music Awards, New York Fashion Week, and the Teen Choice Awards. She has contributed to Seventeen magazine and Girls' Life's print and digital channels. She has acted on two Brat TV series, Stage Fright (as Karina) and Crown Lake (as the voice of Heather). She is a bestselling children's book author with twenty-one books to her credit. She penned her first book, Peace, Love and Cupcakes, in 2012. The Cupcake Club series went on to publish twelve books, and became an award-winning Off-Broadway show and featured selection in 2017's New York Musical Festival. Her Fashion Academy series stems from her passion for fashion. The six-book series also became an Off-Broadway production at Vital Theatre and is currently licensed worldwide by Concord Music Publishing. The Ask Emma series was based on Carrie's firsthand experience as a teen blogger and her dedication to being a role model for positive posting. She is a dedicated anti-bullying activist and an advocate for mental health awareness, especially for teens and women. An avid runner, she ran the New York City Marathon in November, 2022.
