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.

Giveaway sponsored by me.
I’d choose the Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book and the one called milk and cookies , cause there’s nothing better that ice cream in combination with a freshly baked and still slightly warm cookie.
Definitely the Ultimate Cookies – who doesn’t love cookies??
:)
I would love to try “Marshmallow Madness”! Homemade rice-krispy treats with your own marshmallows….yum!
Jeni’s splendid Ice Creams…That one! It would be really different and looks so fun! I wonder what flavors are in there… :-D
I really want Pioneer Woman’s new cook book! I’d start with that!
Oh goodness, how to choose. I’d probably start with ultimate cookies and sugarlicious. Thx!
I’ve already baked from Joy’s! So I’m thinking one of the pie ones! My brother-in-law’s birthday is next weekend and he LOOOOVES pie!
it’s a toss up between handheld pies and hand forged doughnuts!
I would so start with Tartine Bread, I love the smell of fresh baked bread! Plus that bread on the cover looks fantastic :)
the pioneer womans
Since summer is coming, I would love some great ice cream recipes! Having said that all these books look great and it is even hard for me to pick just one.
Home Baked Comfort! Or maybe Pie it Forward. I’ve really been wanting to expand my knowledge of pies.
Oh, that is such a hard choice. I love a good cookbook. I would probably cook from The Pioneer Woman Cooks first.
Do I have to pick just one? They all sound good.
I’d probably go with Sugar Baby, though, because I haven’t done much experimenting with sugar before.
I’d have to have a #1a,b,c,d……………
But I would start with Hand Held Pies
it’s a tie between pw and m&c
Hand Held Pies would be my first pick, but then again I would have a #1.a; #1.b; #1.c……………………….
Joy the Baker! I’ve been following her blog for awhile and just love her!
I would really like to start with the Top Pot Hand forged doughnuts… just because I’ve been thinking of making doughnuts lately… and then I would move on to Sugarbaby… I have always wanted to try working with sugar. Sounds like fun!
Sugarlicious or pioneer women
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book by Jake Godby, Sean Vahey and Paolo Lucchesi. Summer is coming and I ice-cream. i would definitely love to make my own and maybe even experiment with some flavors.
I have the wonderful Jeni’s splendid ice cream and I adore it! If I had to try recipes from one of those, I would like to start with Joy the baker!
Oh boy what a tough decision, but after going back and forth and up and down your list many many times, I will have to say that I would go for the Home Baked Comfort? Nothing beats comfort food, it is always yummy and well liked by everyone, plus you can dress it up to make it look as gourmet as you want, so again the winner is HOME BAKED COMFORT!
Good luck to everyone, and thank you Bakerella for always being so generous!
PS: you should really think about a Bakerella app. I would love to have you on the go on my iphone and ipad!
PW’s Food From My Frontier
torn – handheld pies? flour? hmmmm…..
I would cook from the Pioneer Woman…if Malboro Man can eat it so can I.
Definitely The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Sweet and savory – how can you lose?
1. Hand Held Pies
2. Milk and Cookies
3. Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts
4. Les Petits Macarons
5. Sweet Auburn Desserts
Guess I need to get busy!! :-)
Definitely Tartine Bread. I recently visited their storefront and the bread is amazing!!
I would have to say Ultimate Cookies. Beautiful cookies that are so pretty that you almost don’t want to eat them. I said almost. :) Yes, please!!!
Just bought the Pioneer Woman cookbook and have been wanting several of these (especially Back in the Day).
The Marshmallow book looks like sooooooo much fun. I can’t even imagine how much fun it would be to have that many cook books for inspiration! I have always wanted to make those fun marshmallow creations….WOW!
sugarlicious!!!
Hand Held Pies! Very cute, and always in season!
I’d love to start with Joanne Chang’s Flour cookbook!
Pie it forward, i have been wanting to work on my pie baking skills!
Oh they are all do tempting! Home Baked Comfort caught my eye though. What a great giveaway. Thank you Bakerella!
Les Petits Macarons is my pick. I’m obsessed with macarons, but I’ve never successfully made them. I can use all the help I can get!
The ice cream books are definitely grabbing my attention as I am always on the lookout for another book with new and exciting flavors (already have The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz and love it). But I think I would start with the Cookiepedia!
yummm……. I gained weight just looking through this list, haha! It is so inspiring tho; I just rearranged my small kitchen this past weekend so I could be more efficient (it’s a dream) and make more delicious, fun food!!! So, in order of eating (and cooking), here is my list :-)

Wow, which to choose from?? want all these books, but I would probably have to go with Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts, I’ve been craving a doughnut lately, so it seems fitting to try and make them! Maybe I’ll buy a doughnut pan once I get home from college…
I have Ree’s new book, so it would have to be Homebaked Comfort followed by Marshmallow madness!
I definitely want to make something from Handheld Pies!
Since french macarons are currently the craze – I would start with the Petits Macarons – followed by the Marshmallow Madness book – a future craze……been trying to perfect both…would love to see how others do it !!
anything cupcake… and Chang’s book….
Thank you for the opportunity.
Oh, my, it’s a total toss up. I just bought Home Baked Comfort so I’d love to see you bake up something from it.
Thanks!
Hmm, the Hand Forged Donuts or Cookiepedia sound like fun!
I really want Pioneer Woman’s cookbooks. Sugarlicious and Tartine Bread look great, too… they all seem like awesome cookbooks!
Nothing better than the sweet and comforting smell of bread baking. I’m a cookbook junkie and would love to try all of the books!
Home Baked Comfort or Handheld Pies…. You have a beautiful collection of books…..
Hard to choose but I will go with push up pops
I’ve always wanted to try out the gorgeous ‘Sticky Buns’ that I have been seeing on the Food Network!
Just to know that there’s a recipe book from the bakery itself, makes my day! Would love to have ‘Flour’ by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson.
Tough call!! I think I’d make something out of Handheld \Pies first! Yum!!!
Thanks for listing all of these yummy books – I need to get busy!!
WoW! So many options…where to start! I have a pile like that too, maybe not quite as big. lol! I hope you get to try some of the recipes in these books soon and let us know how they come out. My kids would love that sugar book!!
Would love to get “Push-Up Pops”! Always looking for something to impress my little granddaughters with…they love baking with me!
I would use the money to stock up on all cupcake books AND your cake pop kit!! :)
The Divvies or Home Baked Comfort!
OMG~ Handheld Pies! What a beautiful way to say, ” I made this just for you!”.
Definitely Pie It Forward! Spreading joy through pie– what could be better??
I think I`d like to start with Flour`s then work my way up the stack of cookbooks.
The Flour One!
Oh my! So many books to chose from! I’ve had an eye on the sugarlicious book since it came out, and the Milk and Cookies book looks great!
They all look fantastic!! I think I would start with Handheld Pies!
Push Ups sounds so different…give it shot please !
Hey! I wanna bake from so many of these books! On Top of my list is Joy the Baker cookbook & Amy Atlas’s Sweet Designs! Wish I win this giveaway!!
– Disha (@Fuchsia_D)
Hmmm, hard to choose!! They’re all sooo yummy looking!! The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook does look like the cutest to me ;-)
Sugar Cube is the one for me!!
I have a book obsession and I own Flour and Jeni’s icecream books already! Would buy any of the others on the list, but have been after Sweet Auburn Desserts for a while!!
I would like to bake from all of them, and especially from Handheld Pies but unfortunately there is no such good sweet baking book choice in my country
I would love to check out the Sugar Baby book!
Sugarbaby for me!
I think, the Back in the Day cookbook! Looks so good!
I can’t just choose one! Flour, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, and Home Baked Comfort! Thanks!
Divvies Bakery Cookbook looks very interesting! It’s always nice to have more delicious options for people with dietary restrictions :)
I would love to cook from all of them. I think I would start with Back in Day.
Oh my goodness, I think I am in cookbook HEAVEN! I want them all … I actually have like 3 of them already. Off to add some cookbooks to my pinterest board.
I think I really want at the moment “The Back in the Day Bakery” Cookbook.
The Pioneer Woman! But Sugar Cube looks divine too!:)
The Pioneer Woman, Hand-held Pies and Flour!!!!
They all look amazing but I’d have to go with “backk in the day cookbook” since I just bought Pioneer Woman!
Oh my goodness! So many choices! It’s tough, but you never go wrong with pie. Either the mini pie book or the big one. Mmmmm….pie.
Pushup Pops is calling my name!
All those beautiful photos, it’s a tough choice. It most likely would be Jeni’s ice cream. Next would be marshmallows for my boys. I’ve made marshmallows before, just plain vanilla, i’d love to branch out!
Thanks Bakerella for all the great books to look for!
Les Petits Macarons for sure!!! I want to learn to make macarons!
I’m stuck between 2 that I absolutely love and that would be Ultimate Cookies and Push Up Pops. I think I would have too much fun with either one lol. My poor husband would be banned from the kitchen for days :D
My goodness! What a sugarrush you gave me by just looking at all the delicious cookbooks! I definitely would choose The Pioneer Woman Cooks, I love her! followed by Jeni´s splendid ice creams, since I got a KA ice cream maker for my birthday yay!
Oops! I was suppose to pick one book! Sugar baby!
O my goodness !!!! I love every book and I want them all!! Thank you for sharing!
These all look fabulous! I already have the Joy the Baker Cookbook (which I truly love). I would pick the Back in the day bakery cookbook :)
Thank you for this giveaway :)
jenni’s splendid ice cream…..i’m such a sucker for ice cream!
The Back in the Day Cookbook! :)
They all sound great, but I’ve been itching to try my hand at macarons! So, les petits macarons for me! Yum!
Ahhh so many great ones to choose from! But since I live in Boston and know how great Flour is, i’d have to say Flour! Can’t go wrong with a nutella tart! Yumm :)
I’m loving the milk and cookies and sugar baby.
i’d looooove to try joy the baker’s recipes from her new cookbook!! love that it’s pink :) also that vegan cookbook i now have bookmarked – love that!
Ultimate cookies , sugar baby, all look amazing
All those dessert ones look good. Must be my sweet tooth talking.
Les Petits Macarons–I’m obsessed with macarons.
I’d love to try making anything out of “Milk & Cookies”!
WOW! What a great give away. There are so many I would like but I think I will go with Home Baked Comfort.
Flour and Milk&Cookies look divine!
I’d love to try some things from the 4-Ingredient Gluten Free Cookbook! I love that they kept it simple with only 4 ingredients instead of 4 flours plus gluten-free alternative additions. I’d like to make something for my dad for Father’s Day!
Wow, can’t believe I finally narrowed it down to three ~ HandForged Doughnuts, PushUp Pops or Flour!! How could you choose?!?
Flour…ms chang is unbelievable baker!
inhave to say marshmallow madness looks like so much fun
Jenis’s Splendid Ice Cream, I am making her Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk ice cream today!
definitely sugar baby because I’m a sugar baby!
I try to eat gluten-free whenever possible, so it would be the Divvies Bakery cookbook for me!
I would have a hard time choosing between the doughnut book and sugar cube. All the books look totally yummy though!!
Definitely Pie It Forward! My fiancee loves pies!
Milk and Cookies looks like a good one!
The Back in the Day cook book would be my first choice it looks amazing! and they also look like the cutest couple =]
My first choice would be The Divvies Bakery Cookbook so that I could bake some yummies for my vegan friends and my doctor who eats dairy-free. Since I read recipe books like novels, any of them would inspire me, and I especially enjoy any ideas for cake pops which I am currently addicted to!
I vote for Flour, I saw her make those sticky buns on tv and they looked amazing!
Bake from Courtney’s Push Pop one. Love the idea of the push pop!!
Lissa Wacha
Toms River, NJ
Gosh, I’m not sure I could choose, probably Marshmallow Madness. What a fantastic collection of books.
Oh, how to chooose just one? Since I teach edible art classes I will have to choose Sugarlicious! but Ultimate Cookies is a close 2nd, and Pioneer Woman Cooks, and…, and… Thank you!
WOW!! how does one decide, i mean my heart is fluttering at the thought of reading all the books, tough choice!!!!! Do we have to choose one :-(, LOL!!!!! hnmmmm, ok Flour , hand forged doughnuts, Sweet auburn desserts, pioneer woman cooks, milk and cookies, the sugar cube and Jeni’s splendid ice creams at home and Joy the baker cook book. Phew!!!!!
Pie It Forward!
I had a very hard time picking which one to read first. My choice would be handheld pies
I can’t decide between Top Pot and Flour. How did I live in Seattle for 4 years and never go to Top Pot?! Mouth watering…
I would definitely bake from push up pops first! I have a 2 year old who’d love to get her hands on those sweet treats. I’ve also been wanting to try my hand at bread makIng (gasp)- because nothing beats fresh outta the oven bread!
I think Flour would bee my first choice – don’t tell anyone, but I really want them all!
Sugarlicious looks so cute.
Ooooh! The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook! That looks quite interesting!
Ree Drumond on my to-get list.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks…looks very intriguing indeed.
mmmm, they all look amazing, but doughnuts are my favourite!
They all look fantastic but the one I want is The PioneerWoman cooks.Love Ree Drummond!
It was really difficult to decide!
Push – up pops and ulitmate cookies!
These are the first 2 I ‘ll buy and the rest will follow. :)
Jeni’s, I’ve got a BAD craving for ice cream, and I love that she uses really unusual ingredients.
The push up pops book looks really interesting and would be so fun to check out! Quite a few of those look really great to check out though!
I would LOVE the Push Pops Book!!
oh, MY! Handheld Pies looks SO yummy! MMmmm, pie … in my hand …
I’d choose “The Back in the Day” cookbook. With such an adorable couple on the cover it has to be a good read full of fun recipes.
Hands down Hand Held pies. Brilliant.
I love bite-size food, so I would go for the push-up pops. This book is amazing! It´s one you want to try every single recipe and throw a thousand parties to serve them to your guests.
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson
Sugar Baby by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts by Michael Klebeck with Jess Thomson
Oh gosh. Amazing books!
I would start in Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts because I tried making doughnuts once and they turned out to be a complete disaster. So it’s definitely time for a second attempt!
Push-up pops, then milk and cookies, sugar baby ! Oh, my this is difficult!
Mmm, I think I will go with “ultimate cookies”
Love, love your website!
Flour!
The Tartine Bread book has been sitting on my counter, taunting me with its zillion page basic country bread recipe, for a year and a half. I need to suck it up and tackle that beast!
Oh, I am a compulsive cooking book buyer….but these ones are amazing! I’d like to buy Ree’s book as i am a big fan. Flour would definitively be on my list as well.
I think I would bake from “Les Petits Macarons” first. I keep seeing Macarons online and want to see of they taste as good as they look!
Marshmallow Madness!! I am obsessed with homemade marshmallows.
Definitely Sugarlicious, because the gnome and flamingo on the cover just slayed me. Cuteness overload!!!
That is so hard! mmm I guess I’d have to say either The Back in the Day Bakery cookbook or the Home Baked Comfort cookbook.. but I want them all! lol
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook
Both Sugar Baby and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home look really cool with lots of fun recipes. I have always wanted to work with sugar and its about time I break out my ice cream maker with summer around the corner :)
I’ve been itching to get my hands on both Ree and Joy’s books, but now that I know about Cookipedia, I must have that one as well!
Definitely ‘sugar baby’! I can just imagine it now – gorgeous old school fairy floss and pastel stripes…mmmmm!
Les Petits Macarons looks so lovely. Even if I did bake a Macaron I would love to look at the book. It might be almost as much fun as looking at your blog.
Tartine Bread… I’m a bread-a-holic in a house of bread-a-holics. That book would be dangerous here!
I love the blog by Joy the baker, that’s why I would choose her book.
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson is what I’d choose. Those chocolate doughnuts look amazing!
OMG!books!i love books! I would want to bake from Push-up Pops by Courtney Dial, Milk & Cookies by Tina Casaceli, Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream by Jake Godby, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton and The Divvies Bakery Cookbook by Lori Sandler. Thank you! Can’t wait for you to announce the winner! :)
Well, I think it would have to be Joy the Baker cookbook.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
It’s a good one!
From Ree Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier. I love that woman!
I made a list of the books and plan to buy 1 or 2 each month starting at the top with Tartine bread. But, if I could only pick one, it would be the hand held pie book. I LOVE pie! and it’s exciting to think that I could make a handheld one to carry with me every day for lunch or just a treat! I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this giveaway!
There’s something really intriguing & homey about The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. It looks so inviting.
Although Sugar Baby looks like fun. Who doesn’t love playing with scalding sugar!?!
oooo! sugar baby! I just absolutely loooove the cover and how cool wouldn’t it be to be able to make rock candy!
I told my boyfriend that I wanted home baked comfort after your post on it and he bought it for me for valentine’s day <3 so far everything I've tried is amazing!
Ree’s or Joy the Baker.
Push Up Pops! I bought A TON of push containers for a birthday party and ended up having a bunch left over and saving as many as I could so I need some new recipes to use them up!
I’m spoilt for choice! Just look at all those beautiful photos! I’d definitely get my hands on Handheld Pies, Home Baked Comfort & Les Petits Macarons :)
Les Petite Macaron please :)
My answer would be… Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw
I definitely will bake everything from the book. :)
as I seem to be constantly chasing a toddler around, handheld pies sounds like heaven…
the pioneer woman cooks
Hand forged doughnuts ! I can just lick the ones on the bottom right of the cover !!!
All! But if I have to choose, I would choose Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw.
sugarlicious looks creative and fun! (:
Ree’s or Joy the Baker, I couldn’t decide between the two!
I would seriously love any if these but I have been eyeing the pioneer woman cookbook for a while now.
sugar baby! or petit macaroons! YUM!!!
Joy the Baker…love her stuff!
Oh my gosh! They all look so amazing but I would probably try The Cookiepedia first! Cookies are one of my favourite things to make and they are so easy to share!
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook… if you can try a nut-free recipe that’s easy to follow, please let me know. My son is severely allergic to ALL tree nuts. Thanks, Angie! =)
I say challenge yourself with the Tartine book – trying something you’re not as familiar with!
Milk and cookies looks fantastic!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Definitely the pie book. I love love love pies!
Sugar Cube! I just love the name!!!
oooOOooo…what a fun post, and a great giveaway, too!
I think I’d start with the handheld pie book. I’m not much of a pie eater myself, but I do love all things miniature, and pie is such a classic food to give to others. I’d love to make and give mini pies to the people I love!
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home are the best for me. Actually I am an Ice-Cream-Maniac! I could eat ice cream all day long, only my husband would not be really happy with that! :)
I just got Marshmallow Madness from Amazon the other day and I can’t wait to get into it! I want to check out Les Petits Macarons, too!
I am so excited about your posting of all these cookbooks! Sometimes, I think I am more excited to read the books than to cook the food! If I had to choose one to cook from, I think it would be the Handheld Pie book. These little pies are very tasty looking, and Spring always has me looking for new pies to try.
That being said, the Flour book looks intriguing and the Home Baked Comfort looks fun. I already cook many things from the Pioneer Woman Cooks and so far I love all the recipes!
Send me the gift card so that I can read the books along with you! :)
100% sugar baby please :)
So many wonderful choices…I want to make something from all of them! But if I must chose one to start with, Jeni’s ice cream wins. I’ve tried Jeni’s ice cream only once but that’s all you need to change your mind about ice cream forever.
Tartine Bread! I love everything from their bakery, particularly the bread pudding!
I’d one about Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, for sure. Right now you can’t get ice cream where I live, so the thought is making me drool. Yes please!
Hi love your site so much.
All those books look fantastic!! I think i would be jumping into cooking the marshmallow madness and milk and cookies. (i am still busy cooking my way through my biscuit and cookie bible, the 3rd recipe was so good lol we stayed on it just trying new flavors) also divvies cook book looks great i am trying out a vegan recipes at the moment
So many are so very tempting, but I think I could get more “bang for my buck” with the Joy the Baker Cookbook, since I already have PW’s book. A close second would be either of the pie books, or the marshmallow book, or…
Well I think that you should definetly go with Push-Up Pops. They are probably the cutest things I have ever seen. I can imagine Going to school and taking those with me, I am very shure that every student would go crazy.
God Bless You.(:
they all look so fun! Home baked comfort looks scrumptious though…
Back in the day bakery!!!
The picture is so cute and looks all southern to me. one can never go wrong on that!
Well I think that you should definetly go with Push-Up Pops. They are probably the cutest things I have ever seen. I can imagine Going to school and taking those with me, I am very shure that every student would go crazy.
God Bless You.(:
Would love try to make doughnuts.. So, “Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts” is preferable.
