Bake Happy: 100 Playful Desserts with Rainbow Layers, Hidden Fillings, Billowy Frostings, and more Hardcover – Illustrated, June 2, 2015

nothing great

I recently won this book and Cake Therapist by the same author from http://thecookbookjunkies.com/. Will do a review of Cake Therapist as soon as I’m finished reading. Today I had my first chance to cook from this book. I made Lime Chiffon Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream and they were so good. Light as air with a hint of lime that complements the taste of the blackberries in the frosting.If you’re wondering if you really need another baking book then the answer is YES! Since this book has so many new and interesting flavor combinations. Things like Blackberry and Lavender Turnovers, Meyer Lemon and Pomegrante Tart, Venezuelan Spiced Brownies, Coconut Lover’s Cupcakes with Secret Filling, Saffron Creme Burlee with Rosy Strawberry Compote, and so much more. There are recipes for bread puddings, flans, souffles, meringues, cakes, tarts, curds, cookies, pies, and lots more. The book is filled with 100 playful desserts to help you bake happy.Not only will these recipes satisfy your sweet tooth they’ll help you have fun in the kitchen. There are quiet a few photos for those of us that love pictures with our recipes. I also like that there is some information included with each recipe that is fun to read and often filled with helpful information. I’ll be turning to this book often when I start craving something sweet or need something sweet to share at a celebration.I'd like to thank Jenny Hartin and Judith Fertig for a copy of this book. The thoughts here are my own honest opinion.

I bought this cookbook because it is sort of a companion to the author's debut novel, The Cake Therapist. How fun to be able to recreate some of the delicious desserts described in the novel! I'm planning to give both books to my baking-obsessed book club friends as a unique gift set.

Judith's new book is DARLING! Going to give this as a gift to all my fun baker friends, this book really does make me happy! Deciding right now what to make for my next homemade birthday cake, so many great choices, I'm dying to try everything! Mmmmmmm, yummy!

Very nice, colorful baking book. I would have liked more photos.
