This is a fantastic cookbook for bakers who are looking for recipes with an added twist and who don’t mind investing a little extra time and effort in their baking projects.

Recipes for a wide variety of baked goods are included in this book. The directions for each are clear and concise; weights and volumes of ingredients are provided; additional and very helpful information on unmolding the baked item, slicing, serving, and storing/freezing it is included. Most importantly, the recipes work; with only 1 exception (cream cheese buttercream), everything I made turned out beautifully.

The organization of the recipes into chapters according to occasion is a little odd for me but there are comprehensive indices at the back to help sort through this. If I have one complaint about the book, it’s the fonts that are used for ingredients…..…fractions (eg ½ tsp) are particularly difficult to read.

Highly recommended……it would be a great addition to anyone’s library.
