Born and raised in New York, Berk is the daughter of author and journalist Sheryl Berk, and she showed signs of wanting to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a writer from a young age. She was just seven years old when she began writing Carrie’s Cupcake Critique, her own cupcake review blog, and in second grade she developed her idea for a novel about a cupcake club. After telling her mother about the idea they approached a literary agent, and in 2012 Peace, Love and Cupcakes – the first novel in the series – was published by Sourcebooks Jabberwocky. The book became a bestseller and went on to inspire an off-Broadway musical with the Vital Theatre Company in 2014.
Berk and her mother’s second book series – Fashion Academy – also inspired an off-Broadway musical, and in 2018 the mother and daughter launched their third bestselling book series, Ask Emma.
