I’ll start with the signings.
King of Prussia, PA. Short Hills, NJ and New York City, NY.
Three cities in three days…
… and full of fun.
… and meeting lots of great people.
This is Esther. … I love putting faces with the people that I’ve emailed with. She makes the cutest little wire whisk necklaces.
You must check them out.
… King of Prussia had lots of little cutie pies in the store.
Lots of them.
Including these charmers. So cute in their matching tees.
Even the Williams-Sonoma folks joined in on the fun. This is Brian and Mandy. Loved them.
Then in Short Hills, I met more wonderful people. These folks welcomed me with smiling faces.
And cute cupcakes. The lovely young lady in the pink scarf above made these. We may or may not have shared a cry.
This is Melanie. She’s a Pop Star of the Star Wars variety. Check em out.
Look at these two. Stylish. Both of them.
And these two. Smiling and having a great time, despite getting in a little car accident on the way to the signing.
So glad no one was hurt.
I love these photos. Trying to get everyone to look at the same camera at the same time is easier than it sounds.
Side wave.
Bye New Jersey.
Hello New York.
Again… everyone was so fun.
Including their sweetly painted fingernails.
Families came out together.
And young bakers did, too. This is Kaira. Another Pop Star.
And here’s Nora. If you remember seeing the Cupcake Kabobs all over the web… well, she started that.
Laughter all around.
And look – it’s Rachel from Cupcakes Take The Cake. I was so glad to finally meet her. If you love cupcakes and you don’t know about this site, or you’ve been under a rock, let me introduce you.
New York was a fantastic way to end the Book tour – or so I thought.
There will be one more recap and then that’s it.
I hear a bunch of you cheering because that finally means more baking … right?! YAY! YAY! YAY!
Anyway… Toronto is coming up this weekend. And it turns out I’ll be at two locations.
If you’re in Toronto, and can’t make the Williams-Sonoma signing on Saturday, I’ll also be at Teatro Verde at 4:30 pm on Friday. Hope to meet you guys.
And as usual… if you attended a signing and see your photo in one of the slideshows below, feel free to use it. Thanks again for making the tour so much fun.
Okay, okay … that was the signings.

Congratulations everyone!
Can’t wait to have my Mom’s banana nut bread. SO yummy!
I can’t wait to eat gingerbread! :)
I can’t wait to eat good old hot British mince pies with brandy cream. yum
This year, I’m (probably) going to attempt my late grandmother’s famous divinity… if I’m brave enough! :)
Hmm probably almost all kind of sweets with holiday decorations on them! Doesn’t matter if it’s cake, cookies, pie. If it’s got cute holiday decorations, I’ll eat them hehe!
I make these yummy little jelly snowflakes and they’re so great! I also make chocolate fudge for my family. I’m in charge of all the sweets for the Christmas Eve party. I end up baking for two straight days! It’s the best day(s) of the year!
I look forward to the family traditions that involve eating and cooking both sweet and savory tamales.
I can’t wait to eat homemade turtles, chocolate covered oreos, Reese’s peanut butter cup peanut butter cookies and so much more!! I’m pretty sure I like making all these treats as much as I like eating them!!
Sugar cookies and pecan tarts. My mom and I get together and make about 100 dozen each Christmas.
I can’t to eat my sister’s fresh Coconut Cake.
Bread Pudding with Butter Rum Sauce. It might not sound like a classic holiday treat but I only make it in the winter (hours in a hot oven turn my non-AC house into a sauna in the summer) and it is the perfect warm, comforting, winter treat!
Not much of a sweet eater, so I look forward to the finger foods and crudites.
So many cookie choices… So little time, but panatone is my true love. Toast it and spread on some butter, make it into French toast or bread pudding… Yummy!
Santa Cookies! A really thin molded sugar cookie that the whole family joins in on making…can’t wait to see my 2yo wielding a paintbrush full of icing!
eek how i’d love to get my hands on one of those books! : )
I can’t wait to make my grandma’s peanut brittle recipe!
Sugar cookies made and decorated with my 3-yr old son!
Anything with peppermint in it! It is my favorite time of year because I love all things peppermint. Can you make a cakepop that looks like a starlight mint? or a peppermint ball? Probably easy but you’d do it so well.
gingerbread cookies and cinnamon rolls!=
Oooh, anything pumpkin :-) I made your Brownie Pecan Pie, fudgy version, to bring to my uncle’s for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it and you’re right…it is so good refrigerated :-))))

My mom’s apple pie. Even more special now since she’s not with us anymore.
I’m looking forward to Ris à la mande. It’s rice that’s been boiled in milk until it’s thick and puddingy, then whipped cream and slivered almonds are stirred in. Then there’s warm cherry sauce on top. It’s amazing, it’s so very yummy! I love it!!
I tried to convince my aunt to drive to Toronto for your book signing, but alas she can’t. Apparently a 3 hour drive each way and snow and the stinking Peace Bridge nightmare is a little much. Or she just doesn’t love me that much :)
butter cookies dipped 1/2 in chocolate and topped with sprinkles :)
Chocolate crinkle cookies are at the top of my list.
I can’t wait to make my mom’s pumpkin bread! I make it every year and enjoy every morsel.
I won’t be able to enjoy my favorite holiday treat this year, Grasshopper Pie. See, my mother in law makes it strong enough to cause a little buzz and being pregnant, I don’t think that’s a good idea :( So, I guess I’ll just enjoy the cookies!
I can’t wait to eat Maple Syrup Pie! A bit nontraditional, but I love it SO much :-)

Crazy Crunch Popcorn…made with toffee, nuts, buttery popcorn, and chocolate…YUM!
I can’t wait to eat stained glass (melted jolly rancher candies!) sugar cookies… sweet and sour deliciousness combined into one!
I make a Belgium cookie each Christmas that is a recipe my Grandfather made with his daughter in law each Christmas. They are delicious and made in a waffle iron. The batter isn’t hard to make with the help of my Kitchenaide but baking is time consuming since you can only make 4 at a time in the waffle iron. My family loves these, I even had 1 of my son’s friends (15 yrs) ask when I was making them again. I made a batch for him when he moved away! Best of all I am passing along a family recipe when I make them.

I can’t possibly choose just one treat! But our family fruitcake is pretty high on the list…
I can’t wait to eat the Christmas cookies that I will make with my kids this year. Every year I sit down with the kids who want to help in the kitchen and we pick out cookie recipes to try out. And whoever picks the recipe gets to help me make that particular cookie. We have had some really awesome cookies in the past, and I know we will have some good ones this year as well, plus it gives me some one-on-one time with my kiddos, which is hard to do with 8 of them running around!!!

As crazy as it seems to be to some people. I love fruitcake! Not just your run of the mill kind – but a good Amish fruitcake. We have a wonderful Amish bakery 10 min from my home and I treat myself to a fruitcake every year. (Not cheap btw)

Eeep! I would LOVE one of these books!
Okay, the treat that I cannot wait to make/eat are Church Windows. My gramma used to make them and they’re so super easy-just melted chocolate, butter, and colored marshmallows. When you slice them they look like stained glass windows (hence the name Church Windows). And since my dear sweet grandma passed away in 2003, making Church Windows helps me feel like she’s here at the holidays.
