I thought it would be fun to share some books I’ve been wanting to bake from. Just some of the sweet reads sitting on my shelf. Well, actually they are on my mantle and on my floor because I am in desperate need of a bookshelf to house them all and keep them cozy.
They pretty much stay stacked to save space. I can get more stacks on my mantle that way. But you know – the book I want to pull down is always the one on the bottom. Of course. But do I unstack them to get to the one I need? Of course not. I strain and push and wiggle to lift the ones on top and try to inch the one I want out.
It’s never pretty.
Thank goodness all of these books are.
Let’s take a quick peek at them and hopefully you can help me decide which one to use first.
Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
This is a big, beautiful book of bread. And it scares me a little. I haven’t worked with dough or yeast a lot. But I want to learn. I want to make bread! And this book from the legendary Tartine Bakery in San Francisco is gonna help me. One day.
Ultimate Cookies by Julia Usher
Photographs by Steve Adams
Let me just say that this book could just as easily be placed in the art section as it is in the cookbook section. Julia’s cookie designs and attention to detail are absolutely amazing. Her piping work is impeccable and a little intimidating too. But she has lots of pictures and instructions to help you along the way.
Sugarlicious by Meaghan Mountford
Cute treats and fun sweets. This book is full of whimsical projects to that are easy to make and decorate for any occasion. And many of them kids can make, too.
Handheld Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Rachel Wharton
Photographs by Ellen Silverman
Umm… Pies? In my hand? Sold. Tiny treats in any form are hard for me to resist. And so was this cover. The book is divided into freeform pies, structured pies and jar pies. Too cute.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond
Hey Ree – Thank you for including so many sweets in your beautiful cookbook. The Coffee Cream Cake is calling me. But so are all the other recipes. Maybe I should just start at the top and check each one off. If they are as good as the Chocolate Sheet Cake in your first book, I am in trouble.
Sweet Auburn Desserts by Sonya Jones
Photographs by Deborah Llewellyn
That’s a cover, huh. Completely captivating. I can’t stop looking at it and I think my heart just started racing.
Sweet Auburn Bakery is located in Atlanta and I can’t believe I haven’t visited yet. I must correct that immediately. Oh and stack cakes just moved up on the to-bake list. Oh my. Oh! My!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook by Cheryl Day and Griffith Day
Look how adorable these two are. This book is from another Southern bakery and it makes me want to jump in the car and head straight to Savannah, GA to visit their charming shop. Turning the pages, each dessert is more tempting than the next. And there’s savories inside, too. Bacon Jam empanadas and the ham and cheese pastry puffs have my name all over them.
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book by Jake Godby, Sean Vahey and Paolo Lucchesi
Photographs by Frankie Frankeny
With ice cream flavors like Secret Breakfast, Rosemary’s Baby and Fat Elvis … and more than 300K twitter followers, I want to know more about this little ice cream shop in San Francisco. When they say ice cream with attitude, they mean it.
Joy the Baker Cookbook by Joy Wilson
Oh Joy. Your book is a total biggie. I remember when we chatted at the book signing I had in Santa Monica and you were just starting it. Can you believe? Look at the amazingness you made. So happy for you! Oh… and those Baked Chili Cheese Fries… help me. P.S. Great arms!
Milk & Cookies by Tina Casaceli
Photographs by Antonis Achilleos
With a title like that, how can you go wrong. Divided by vanilla cookies, double chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, special cookies, family favorites, brownies and bars … milk is definitely mandatory.
Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever
Photographs by Leigh Beisch
I love this cover!!! Love it. I want to wallpaper my kitchen in it! All I know is marshmallows will be happening soon. I just need a better candy thermometer first and then look out.
Pie it Forward by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
Pies, tarts, tortes and galettes. Yes, yes, yes and yes! Filled with tons of recipes and a passion to pie it forward, Gesine’s book should make any pie lover happy.
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook by Lori Sandler
I’ve had this book for a little while now and have meant to bake from it way before now. All the recipes are vegan and some are gluten free, too. If you have a need for egg, nut or dairy free, you might want to check it out. You can order online from them, too.
The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando
Photographs by Tara Striano
An encyclopedia of cookies. Oh yes. Buttery, chocolaty, fancy, fruity, spicy and nutty cookies fill the pages of this super cute book. It lays flat, too. Love that.
Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
I’ve baked from this book before but I couldn’t help showing it again. It’s really beautiful and one of the few books that I want to make almost everything inside. P.S. I have a recipe in the book, too. Fun!
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts by Mark and Michael Klebeck with Jess Thomson
Photographs by Scott Pitts
I didn’t make it to Top Pot Doughnuts when I was in Seattle, but hopefully I can fix that one day soon. I love cake doughnuts and old fashioned doughnuts. Okay, I love any doughnuts. Except filled. Can’t do filled so much.
Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride
Photographs by Steve Legato
I love these little cookie confections. I’ve made them a couple of times, but not enough to feel confident with them, so I scooped up this cute book for inspiration.
Push-Up Pops from Courtney Dial Whitmore
Photographs Kyle Dreier
Hey Courtney! Thanks for sending me your book. I have my push-up pop containers and I’m ready to go. Can’t wait to play with them.
The Sugar Cube by Kir Jensen with Danielle Centoni
Photographs by Lisa Warninger
Twisted treats from the heart of this sweet little food cart in Portland. And yes, those are chocolate chips drizzed in caramel on top of that cupcake. This one looks like it will be fun to dive in to.
Sugar Baby by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
This book is mostly about cooking with sugar instead of baking with it. Working on the stove instead of the oven. And yes, you can make your own rock candy at home. Super excited about that one. The recipes are divided by temperature so a good candy thermometer would be helpful.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer
Photographs by Stacy Newgent
I love everything about this book. The topic, the design, the unique flavors, the way the ice cream recipes are photographed. And I would love it more if I owned an ice cream machine so I could make some too. In the meantime, I just read that Jeni started selling some of her flavors at The Fresh Market last week – Yay for us! And you can also order them online.
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson
Photographs by Keller + Keller
Spectacular recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery fill the pages of this mouth-watering book. Nutella tarts, chocolate brioche, and brown sugar popovers sound like a good place to start.

Les Petites Marcons
Have never got the hang of these sweeties yet.
Would love to find out what this book has to say
Flour!
I would definately start with Milk and Cookies! I love trying new cookie recipes. What a great give-away, thanks so much.
Well seeing as I already have “Sugarbaby”.. my next choice on the list is definitely “Les Petits Macaroons!” Macaroons are my absolute faaavorite sweet treat and they are perfect for almost every occasion.
Flour by Joanne Chang, Nutella Tarts sound so yummy! BTW, anything with Nutella is total yum!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook ~ The cover itself is so cute and with a foreward by Paula Deen you know this cookbook is going to be filled with yumminess if she is endorsing it!
Solely for the reason that I would die for doughnuts, I would have to say: Hand forged Doughnuts!
Decisions decisions! I gotta go with Joy the Baker’s cookbook because dang those fries do look good! But Tartine is a close second. *close*
It would have to be FLOUR, since I live in Massachusetts! Funny thng is, I had nearly half of the cookbooks you mentioned ALREADY on my wishlist on Amazon!!!! Love your inspirational and beautiful website!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier!
Push Up Pops
I would love to try something from Flour – everything looks delicious!
Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride. I’ve been reading up on how to make macarons for weeks…
Flour and Pioneer Woman would be my first choices!
I would start with the cookbook Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts. I love doughnuts and I would love to make them everyday.
Macarons! I’ve been wanting to make them ever since all you bloggers had the bake off. I’d start with a pistachio version. Yum!
I would buy several copies of the Divvies awesome cookbook [on sale for $10.99] to give as gifts to all my friends that have allergies or their kids do. I even have a few friends that have to eat gluten free and I know how hard they try to create homemade baked goods safely. Bonus!
And I might just treat myself to the cookie book and the sugar book. Both look amazing.
Thanks for the giveaway B!
Ultimate Cookies!!! Those cookies are too pretty to eat! I love to decorate cookies, though I’m not that talented at piping… I would love to learn and see which project you choose to try first!
Sweet Auburn Desserts. That cake looks a-may-zing!
Sugar baby sounds interesting!
Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride! I haven’t made Macarons yet.
I would love to try the “Flour” book, it looks amazing… I already used “Home Baked Comfort” and it definitely belongs to one of my favorite books…
How can you pick only one? But if I have to I would say The Back in the Day Bakery. I
I would love to try “Hand Held Pies”. Everything looks sooooo tempting!
Pioneer Woman!!! :)
My vote is sugarlicious – but they all look amazing. Thank-you for your amazing blog, always a source of inspiration & wonder!
Oooo! I love Jeni’s Ice Cream! It’s the best! Such unique flavors! Sometimes you read a flavor and think, “How on earth could that taste good?” But it ALWAYS does! So, so good!
Sweet Auburn Desserts looks right up my alley. I don’t have hardly any cookbooks but whenever I see them at the store I want to buy them all up.
Push Up Pops! (just imagine some cake pops next to push up pops it would be pop heaven!)
Toss up between Push Pops and Marshmallow Madness.
Um… all of them? Flour, Milk and Cookies, The Cookiepedia… I NEED THEM NOWWWWW! :)
I’m hoping to get Ree’s new book for Mother’s Day, but would LOVE the Hand Forged Doughnuts book!
I’m guessing any one of these is a stellar choice. I think I would choose Joy the Baker Cookbook first.
I have a big stack of cookbooks I’m working my way through, but one can never have too many!
I really want to try out the Marshmallow Madness book! It looks like tons of fun.
I would love Milk & Cookies! I’m always on the hunt for the perfect cookie recipe.
I would choose the joy of baking cookbook. I really love baking and bake something everyday for my family and friends!
The Cookiepedia looks like it would have everything I’d need to know…I love to bake and love to mix up the classics!
Oooooh, I dunno. They all look good. Pie it Foward, maybe or Handheld Pies since I’m a pie maker….but I love Joy the Baker and Pioneer Woman…this is an amazing collection.
Oh!! Love them all but I’d have to go with “Home Baked Comfort.”
The marshmallow one looks fun!
“Sugarlicious” sure floats my boat! It looks so cute and fun and deeeliciousss! Yum!!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks!!!! LOVE HER RECIPES!!!
They all look great but I guess I’ll choose Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. Although Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts is a close second.
Definitely the one by Pioneer Woman! Her recipes are amazing!
I would totally pick “Home Baked Comfort”!! That cake on the front with the thick icing makes me want to stick out my finger and take a big ole blob of sugary goodness & put it right into my watering mouth! Sigh! I think I’ll go bake a cake!! :)
Oh, my heart went pitter-patter when I saw “Handheld Pies” and “Pie it Forward.” I’m all about the tiny, cute and sweet. These are going on my wish list right now!
A lot of these books are on my to-bake list! I own Joy’s so I’ve been wanting to make her peanut butter bacon cookies, because just writing that is ridiculous. BUt I also copied a recipe from Top POt’s book, they have a baked raised doughnut recipe! Can’t wait to see how it turns out when I feel ambitious enough to bake something with yeast.
The Poineer Woman Cooks or the Sugar Cube look awesome – but to be honest they all look amazing!
I am dying to try macaroons! and the home baked comfort and milk and cookies books both look delightful!!
Sweet Auburn Desserts and Les Petits Macarons…wow!
Flour book! Yum, yum, yum!!!
Either the macaroons or Jeni’s Ice Cream!
I like the Sugarlicous one!! the Milk and Cookies looks good also.
Wow, so hard to choose… But if I had it would probably be the “Joy the Baker” one… Although I’m sometimes intimidated by pies, so that one sounds good too, and the Sweet Auburn one, and the Back in the Day one… So much talent out there!
Handheld pies looks adorable!!
Joy the Baker, I would love love love this book, being as how it has both baking and cooking recipes in it… and I love doing both!! Not to mention, my husband doesn’t mind that I do it either :)
I would love to bake from Sugarbaby and the Divvies cookbook.
I Think I would get Milk and Cookies It looks really awesome! :)
I would choose The Sugar Cube – I live in a small town outside of Portland and have not yet tried this cute little sweets food cart. I already have Ree Drummond’s new cookbook and read it from cover to cover in one sitting, the day it arrived !! It’s wonderful.
All of them! But if I had to choose one it would the Pioneer Woman Cooks…and Pie it Forward…and the Ice Cream one..and…see it’s too hard to pick one!
Push-Up Pops
Pie it Forward. I love Gesine’s other two books. Can’t wait to add the new one to my collection!!
I love baking pies, so I want to bake from “Handheld Pies” or “Pie It Forward”. “Sweet Auburn Desserts” looks like it would have lots of amazing desserts too.
The first book that jump to my eyes was the Handheld Pies, amazing cover pic and ideas, if it involves getting messy it’s 100% me!
But of course it’s hard to choose one!
Tartine bread: challenge!
The Back in the day Bakery Cookbook: so vintage!
Sweet Auburn Dessert and Home Made Comfort: mouth watering homy temptations!
I LOVE old fashioned donuts and that book featuring the donuts and the cinnamon pull-apart looks amazing! It is making my mouth water!!
Sugar Baby
Tough decision, but I would go with Hand-Forged Doughnuts because that is one kind of cookbook I don’t have!
Flour – my mouth is watering from just looking at the cover!
Oh goodness… they all look so good! I have the Pioneer Woman Cooks one and it is amazing! But I think the Sweet Auburn Dessets looks delish! :)
The back in the day bakery cookbook and Joy the baker cookbook. So hard to pick just one! :)
Sugarlicious! A great name for a cute book of cooking projects to do with kids.
I woud love to bake from the book “Flour” by Joanne Chang.
I want to make those eclairs and eat at least 2 of them, OMG my favorite thing and the ones on her book like thick and yummy. MMMMmmmmm :)
Definitely Back in the Day Cookbook!!
Joy the Baker!
I adore her and I am so happy she wrote a book!
Absolutely without a doubt Handheld Pies … I think my family is already salivating!
I say the Cookiepedia… but they all look so intriguing and delicious!
Humphrey slocombe or jenis ice creams since I am madly in love with my ice cream maker!!! I can’t wait to try something from my new Ben and jerrys book too!!!!!
That post is going to cost me a lot of money as I start buying those cookbooks that I don’t already have. I confess! I’m a cookbookaholic! The first two books I would cook from would be Push Up Pops and The Pioneer Woman Cooks.
I LOOOOOVE cookbooks! Some of these have been on my wish list for a while! I NEED Ree’s new book and I’ve been wanting Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams for months! I HOPE I WIN!
Hand Held Pies
I’ve been wanting to check out pioneer woman’s food from my frontier!
I think i will bake from this one Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book :)
Home Baked Comfort is my next read, i think :)
Thanks!
I’d love to check out Sugarlicious! So cute! Thanks so much!
The Cookiepedia…can’t resist the title.
Handheld Pies, please! Then Milk and Cookies. Wait – I missed Ultimate Cookies. That one first; I’m less intimidated by cookies. Then Sugarlicious because it looks so pretty.
I can’t have anything with doughnuts or ice cream in my kitchen…if I could make them the willpower I have that kicks in when I think about the effort of driving somewhere would disappear so fast my giant weight gain wouldn’t let me catch it!
Ree Drummond’s book. Her treats always looks so incredibly delicious!
The donut ice cream sandwhich picture in the ice cream book was enough to make me weep for joy!
I had a chance to look through my friend’s copy of Milk & Cookies, and was definitely inspired to try a few of the recipes, so I choose that one!
Hand-Forged Doughnuts – mmmmmhhhhh!
The sugar cube looked like a fun book!
Flour! Those sticky buns look AMAZING!
Back in the Day Bakery is totally calling my name. The Bacon Jam empanadas sound to die for and would totally go with my maple bacon doughnut. Looks like a great collection.
Definitely the Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts! I would love to learn how to make some really good doughnuts…there is no better way to say “Good Morning”!!
Sugarbaby! What a GREAT giveaway, thanks so much!
Definitely, The Sugar Cube, I’ll be in Portland in a few weeks and I’m putting that food cart on my list of places to eat!
I vote Tartine Bread. Face your fears head on. :) Plus, I really love to bake and I’m definately adding it to my amazon wish list. :)
Les petit macarons…. Tried making them once with my sis in law and let’s just say this book would have helped me :) they’re so yummy!!
Gah! Can’t narrow it down to one! I’d say either Milk and Cookies or Handheld Pies. I’m sure any way you go, it’s guaranteed delicious!
Sugarlicious. Would be so fun! I love Pioneer Woman Cooks as well.
I would love to dive into the Ice Cream Book. I love ice cream and my husband loves to make homemade ice cream. Seems like a marriage made in heaven. :)
I would love to get one of Ree’s books…they’ve been on my amazon wish list forever!!
The ‘Home Baked Comfort’ because home is always the best place!
marshmallow maddness baby!! for sure!!
I have just purchased joy the baker so I would defiantly try this one first. Chilli Cheese Fries YUM.
Pie It Forward. I made a disastrous strawberry rhubarb pie last summer so I could use some inspiration before tackling pies again!
I would definitely want to cook from Pie it Forward first! That is such a genius idea, and so cute!!
Flour Thanks!
They all look great, but I have to say Marshmallow Madness!
Milk & Cookies! But Pie It Forward is a very clever book title :)
I would like to bake from the book Milk & Cookies.
I just love to bake cookies!!!
handheld pies. . .
Tartine Bread and Push Up Pops were already on my list, but now i’m very, very interested in baking from Pie it forward (just love the name) or Hand Forged Doughnuts (my husband is a donut fanatic!)
I’d want The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando… I need new inspiration in the cookie department!
I’m drooling over the ultimate cookies book. When I was little my mom had a cookie book that had a sugar cookie recipe that could be turned into hot dogs and hamburgers. Too cute! If only they sold time to bake along with the cook books!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks – I love her recipes!
ALL these cookbooks look amazing! I guess I would choose Joy the baker, I love her blog.
Oh jeez! No pickin’ one- I love Ree, my MIL bought us a mini pie-maker (don’t ask) so I have lots of pies in my future and I’d LOVE to try some different homemade donuts!
Joy the Baker!
Handheld Pies! I love making mini pies
I have Joy’s book but haven’t made anything out of it yet. I did just make The Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls last night and they were awesome!
I have to say “Flour”! I live right outside Boston and have gone to Flour Bakery a few times and it is to DIE for!
Marshmallow Madness! I’ve been wanting to make marshmallows ever since I heard a story about homemade marshmallows on NPR’s All Things Considered. The contents of this book look so pretty and adorable!
Wow! They all look awesome. Probably Joy the Baker first since I just started reading her blog.
I think the milk and cookies one looks fun. I’ve got the Joy the Baker cook book and it is awesome! I love it! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
All of these book covers look incredible!!!
I’m thinking I’ll just forward this blog post to my husband so he can have some ideas of what to get me for my birthday! The Back in the Day bakery book looks right up my alley.
Too many wonderful choices! But….Flour and Sugar Cube and Hand Forged Doughnuts seem awfully tempting to begin with!
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts by Mark and Michael Klebeck with Jess Thomson for sure…did you see those doughnuts! gotta have it. :)
Tartine Bread and Sweet Aurburn Desserts both look absolutely amazing!
Ooh have heard so many great comments about the Pioneer woman on pinterest that I think it would have to be her book , x x
Sugar Baby!!!! Sugar Heaven in a book — what more could you ask!
They all look fabulous! But if I had to choose one it wouldbe Joy the Baker, I discovered her cinnamon pull-apart bread last year and have been hooked ever since :)
I would love to try Back in the Day Bakery cookbook…saw her on Paula Deens last week.
oh they all look great! now they are all on my list :)
Ii think i would go for the Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book though. homemade ice cream is so delicious and I would really love to learn how to make it!
The Cookiepedia….yum!
The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando! :) Plllleeeeease
Oh my goodness! We have to choose?? That’s a tough one but I think I’d go for The Pioneer Woman first.
Oh my god i don’t know there’s too many choice too books ..maybe ultimate cookies it looks great!
Pie it Forward. Mmmmm…. Pie.
I have to go with Handheld Pies. Just like a cupcake, it would be the perfect size just for me!
Les Petits Macarons! I’ve been dying to make macarons, but it looks a little intimidating so this book would be great!
Ooh, I’d LOVE to make something out of Push Up Pops! …Or Sweet Auburn desserts… Oh! Or hand forged donuts! …Or sugar cube! Or… Aaaah! I just want to make all of them!! ;)
Three delights to try because the pictures completely draw me in.
Les Petits Macarons
Marshmallow Madness
Ultimate Cookies
As a bread baker, the Tartine Bakery book looks awesome!!!
I’m tied between Home Baked Comfort and Pie It Forward. Though they all look delectable!
Les Petite Macaroons because I am going to Paris soon!!
definitely milk and cookies!! and maybe hand forged doughnuts. i’m always craving a doughnut :)
Tartine Bread and flour, definitely.
I would buy The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier in a heart beat! I love her first book and have made almost every recipe in it! My family loves her recipes so I cannot wait to see what her next book has in it!
Cookiepedia! Everyone loves cookies and they are the easiest to make!
I would LOVE to get Hand Forged Doughnuts or the Pioneer Woman! I’ve been reading from your site for, I don’t even know how long and all you’ve done is said wonderful thing about her!
We’re going up to Boston (from Atlanta…) on May 16th and have already planned a trip to Flour in the South End. I could buy her cookbook there…or win it here and start baking now. Thanks!
mmmm…so hard to choose! I’m on a push pop bend right now so I’d love to do some of the projects from Push-up Pops :)
“Pie it Forward” really speaks to me at this moment! I’d also love to get my hands on Ree’s new cookbook! Gotta bake this weekend!
Sugar Baby! Mmm…
I am sad to say that I don’t have a single one of these books! Maybe I can win this gift card! The one that stood out first for me is Handheld Pies. I used to make fried pies with my Grandmother. The second one for me is The Bake in the Day Bakery Cookbook. Thanks for a chance at winning some awesome books!!
SugarBaby!! I have been eyeing the book for a while. So many other great choices you’ve listed. I think I will be making an Amazon purchase in the near future.
I would like to sink my teeth into Sugar Baby first!
The Back in the Day Bakery cookbook. They look so cute!
I am totaly obsess with The Pioneer Woman Cooks book, I saw a lot of recipes in the web and I can’t wait to put my hands on it. It’s not easy to find these kind of books here in Peru, time to time I order by Amazon, but as the shipping is not cheap books results a little more expensive than expected, you have to pay for the book plus the shipping at an international fee.
Oh man, that Handheld Pies book looks killer. I would love to jump into that book!
Home Baked Comfort please…. :D
sugar baby
I have to say that I would love to try Hand-Forged Doughnuts!! These would be such a unique and yummy treat to make at home!!
Oh my to just pick one, marshmellow madness and then the handheld pies, oh my I can’t wait to go get in my kitchen now.
Push up pops – creative yumminess
I would want so many of them, but Pioneer Woman’s first and foremost!! :)
Can’t. Stop. Thinking. About. Milk. &. Cookies.
since my 17 year old is the baker in this house i’ll answer for her. probably push up pops. they look SO good! she adds to my hips every day.
So many look fantastic but the one that really called out to me was Handheld Pies.
Milk And Cookies!
Oh, yes! Joy the Baker and Push Up Pops are now on my wish list. Now I must go get a cookie or something sweet to eat!
I would love to prepare recipes from all these books but the most enticing books are:
Sweet Auburn Desserts
Marshmallow Madness
and The Sugar Cube
:)
Mmmm! I’d love to read any of these books! I think I’d like to get Joy the Baker’s book first!
Hard to say. there his a whole bunch of amazing books to pick from. I think it most likely to try out the Marshmallow or the Cotton Candy, since I have never tried that and you can do fancy things with those. I’d love to see what you come up with with those two.
I vote for Flour from Joanne Chang. I saw her bakery profiled on one of the Food Network shows. I HOPE HER FANTABULOUS STICKY BUN RECIPE is in there!!!
Pioneer Woman! I love watching her on tv. Everything looks sooooo delish!
i would love to get my hands on The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook :)
Ohhhh, tough choice! Probably either the Pioneer Woman or Milk and Cookies first. But I’d want to try them all!!!
So many beautiful, mouthwatering books! I think I would pick Push-Up Pops, because it just makes me laugh and feel nostalgic. But you can’t go wrong with that line up!!
I would love the Milk and Cookies cookbook!
Les Petits Macarons – tasted some recently that were sent to me and want to try making them at home!!
Marshmallow Madness!!! Too cute!
Cookiepedia nom nom
I would bake from the pioneer woman’s cookbook! I’ve been dying to get it forever and I love her recipes on the website:)
Home Baked Comfort – that cake on the cover looks fabulous! I could just eat the cover and skip the baking.
All of them look awesome, but I’d like to read Milk & Cookies! YUM!
All of them? but esspecially Cookiepedia :P nom nom!
The macrons book. I lived in Switzerland and they were my obsession. Love it!
That Flour book looks pretty amazing. Well, I am mostly just looking at the eclairs!
OH MY GOSH! THESE COOKBOOKS SEEM SO AMAZING!!! I WOULD LOVE TO BAKE FROM THE PUSH-UP POPS COOKBOOK! THEY JUST LOOK DARLING!
What a great giveaway! :) Thanks Bakerella!
I might have to pick up the doughnut book either way. I am a sucker for doughnuts, plus I have a doughnut pan and some alternate recipes would be helpful!
I would love to own them ALL…that being said…I’d like to start with the MARSHMALLOW’s book…it’s calling my name ! Love the colors, treats, ideas…and i really do love MARSHMALLOW’s !!!
Lyn
Handheld Pies!!! I have tried to make some on several occassions. Didn’t turn out as well as I would have hoped. Maybe the book would help!
Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts!
OMG!!!!! Just looking at the photo’s made my mouth water….Can’t wait to see you make something from this book :)
sugarlicious all the way!
I used to live in Seattle and made a few special trips to Top Pot. I didn’t know they had a book and am intrigued. I would start with that book.
The Flour book by Joanne Chang is fantastic. I own a copy and love it.
Pie It Forward looks amazing!
ultimate cookies would be awesome, thanks
