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.
Home Baked Comfort is just calling to me to bake from it. sigh…guess I need to go browse Amazon for some new cookbooks, I see about six in this stack that I NEED….
Hand Pies! Sugar Baby! Push-up Pops!
Joy the Baker’s cookbook…..it looks awesome!!!!
I’ve been coveting “Hand-Forged Doughnuts”, I’d definitely start there!
Sugar Baby, baby! I have always dreamed of making cotton candy, or something of that sort… that was on the cover, right? yuummmm
It would have to be sugarlicious. I adore whimsical food!!
Oh my. I think my blood sugar just went up. Mmmm…I think Sugarlicious. It’s bad for me but baking for others is always fun. Mmmmm….
I would start with Sugar baby, but that’s just because my boyfriend just bought it for me :)
All i need now is a good sugar thermometer…
Oh, “Les Petits Macarons” would be my pick because I’ve never had a real macaroon before. They also look like they are fun to make. :D
Macarons. I have been wanting to try and make them, but I haven’t yet gotten the courage to try.
Hard to choose just one! Milk and Cookies, Pie It Forward, Pioneer Woman Cooks are among the top of my list.
Oooh, such a hard decision! Sign me up for the hand-held pies. Or the marshmellows. I’m not picky!
sugarlicious looks amazing!
That is a really hard choice! They all look fabulous! I’d say either the Pioneer Woman’s book (I’ve made quite a few of her recipes, and they NEVER fail me!) or…Sugarbaby – I love the amazing things you can do when just using sugar. I saw this one episode of Amazing Wedding Cakes and she (the baker) made the most amazing and delicate things from sugar! I would love to learn to do that! (and I’d LOVE to see you do something with that!!!).
Boy, oh boy, that’s a hard choice. EVERYTHING looks so yummy!!!! I have a thing right now for the Pioneer Woman so I’ll pick hers. Happy Baking!
Definetely Marshmallow Madness. I just put that into my wishlist yesterday! Very excited to try and make them! My Girl Scouts would love making them for Mother’s Day.
Probably Flour by Joanne Chang. But I really want each one that I don’t already own. I read through them like novels! And enjoy then beauty of the color on each page.
Les Petit Macarons please!! I have tried to make them 3 times now and obviously I am doing something wrong…
I don’t know that I could pick which to go for first! If my life depended on it, I’d go for Marshmallow Madness. When I bake treats for Christmas every year, I make “schmellows” too, and I LOVE doing it!
I need to buy the Handheld Pies- drool!
The Williams Sonoma Book looks awesome
Oh, I’d probably spend a few weeks trying to decide which one…no idea where to start!! They all look amazing!
Flour. It was a tough choice.
AHH I would definitely say Hand-Forged Doughnuts! Such a guilty pleasure.
I would love Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw! Although it was a very difficult decision to make, the books all look fantastic!
mmmm…. Sugarlicious looks sooooo fun!
All the books look great! I would say Push Up Pops!Thanks!
I want to try the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. I’ve heard so many great things about it!
first book i’d read? got to be Pie it Forward because i just must know what “Velvet Elvis Pie” tastes like. :)
Oh my gosh……..what a touch decision!! I think I’d go for Home Baked Comfort!!!! Thank you so much for a chance to win!
Pioneer Woman! I love Ree’s blog and tv show, and am in need of her cookbook!
I have been wanting to try some recipes out of PW’s new cookbook!
If I have to pick just one, and boy is that hard, I’d say Milk and Cookies.
I want them all. . .I adore cookbooks and read them like novels!!! :-)
Sugar Baby…rock candy is sooo yummy!
I would definitely love the Ultimate Cookies book. Just the few pictures make me wanna start up my mixer right now :D
So hard to pick but I think I’d say Milk and Cookies.
That’s a very tough question! I want to bake or cook from all of them! I would probably start with Push-Up Pops first since I’ve been wanting to try my hand at those for a while!
Thank you!
Definitely Ree’s book. You’ll want some savory with your sweets!
Sugarlicious, I love good food and when it is super cute, I am all in! They all look so great!
Milk and Cookies, Marshmallow Madness! Everything looks so amazing!
I would have to say The Pioneer Woman Cooks.
I just picked up The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook and I can’t wait to dig into it! From that list, the first book I don’t have that I would pick is Milk and Cookies. I don’t have a cookbook dedicated to cookies yet, and that one looks amazing.
I’m moving to Georgia this summer so I gotta represent with some Sweet Auburn Desserts. And I’m moving from Oregon which means I gotta include The Sugar Cube! But I’d much prefer to have all of them ;-)
Marshmallows have never looked so good!!
They all look sooooo good! I vote for the hand forged doughnuts! I’ve been getting into doughnut making lately and I think it would be so fun to learn new ways from the best!
back in the day bakery – so nostalgic, love it.
milk & cookies for sure!
I would want to start with Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book or Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home by because i love icecream !!!!!
Les Petits Macarons! Looks yummy!!
All of them? But seeing as I live in the city of Tartine and Humphry Slocombe, that narrows it down. Haha, I would probably go for baking from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier. Or Flour.
Pie It Forward!!
“Les Petits Macarons”- too pretty!
flour becuase it’s the one I already have ;)
Pie it Forward & Marshmallow Madness have me intrigued. I found a great pie crust recipe and now I want to make more than just Apple pies!
I want Joy the Baker’s book pretty badly!
I would Love to check out the sugar cube because I am in the process of owning and running my OWN food truck some day :]
The Milk & Cookies sounds awesome. I would love to try each recipe.
The Pioneer Woman! I love all of her stuff!
Joy the Baker! But really any and all of them would bring me much happiness.
ohhh Divvies looks super interesting. I’d love to try out some of those recipes. Then Back In The Day—- yummy goodness!
Hand held Pies!!! Macaroons!!! Milk and Cookies!! Anything involving comfort food! What a great cook book library…I really want them all :)
They all look great but I would probably like to bake from the Home Baked Comfort book first! Something about the cover makes me feel hungry and happy! :-)
I cannot make up my mind between those two…
Sugarlicious or Ree Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman book.
Why is it so hard to pick just ONE from all the good stuff!!
I am in trouble and it’s Bakerella’s fault! LOL!
So many of these are on my own list! Especially Les Petit Macarons, Sugarlicious and Milk & Cookies.
I have an entire Amazon folder stuffed with books, gadgets and kitchenware just waiting for my wallet availability to open up.
I’d love to try the recipes in the vegan cookbook!
Home baked comfort
They all look fantastic.. but it’s gotta be Sweet Auburn Desserts, for the cover alone!
All of them look great, but I think it’s a tie between Flour and Home Baked Comfort :)
Tartine Bread looks very tempting – def my first choice!
OMG all of those books need to enter in my kitchen! Maybe I would like to try some cookies from Milk and Cookies first??? I want to cry, they are all beautiful!
My oh my! Where to begin with so many choices?! After rereading the choices twice, I have it narrowed down to the following (in order you have them listed): Sugarlicious, Handheld Pies, Pioneer Woman Cooks, Push up Pops. I don’t think I’d leave the kitchen! :)
I just bought Jeni’s Spendid Ice Cream cookbook. IT.IS.AWESOME!!!!! I made vanilla bean last weekend and it was wonderful. I am going to make the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate ice cream this weekend. Such a great book and easy recipes.
Now I need to try some of the other cookbooks you listed.
Thanks. : )
Wow! What an amazing selection of books! I wouldn’t be able to choose. Although I’m going to try and have a go at marshmallows for the Queen’s jubilee next month so I’ll go with the Marshmallow Madness. That book is too cute!
Marshmallow Madness!
I can’t pick just one….But Jenis totally has my attention!
How can you choose just one!?!? The only way I can decide is to choose the pioneer woman cooks because I visit her blog the most.
Joy the Baker or The Pioneer Woman!! Love both of their websites!!
I gave Jeni’s book to my mom for mother’s day last year and ending up having to buy my own copy. So I think this year I may do the same with the Joy the Baker book. :) Hurray for books!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook jumped out at me right away followed by Flour. Of course I’d love to bake from all of them!
I’d probably have to say flour, ultimate cookies, sugarlocious, or the top pot hand forged doughnut! I absolutely love doughnuts …well actually, I love everything sweet! :)
It’s tough to choose, but i think i would try Milk and Cookies.
Hand-Forged Doughnuts!!
I want to cook from Flour! I love cooking with flour and baking breads, pizzas, or various treats. I’m always looking for more stuff to cook with flour.
Push up pops because no that little could be bad for you!!!
I would def pick up Joy the Baker and The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. All of the other ones you showed looked equally amazing.
I’m totally intrigued by Marshmellow Madness!!
I’d pick PW’s cookbook….but the ultimate cookies looks like a winner in my house!
Handheld Pies. It looks awesome.
Sugarlicious!
Thank you for all the information and variety of SWEETS GALORE!!! I have a terrible Sweet Tooth…or two…or three..and so on! I cannot go a day without candy. Candy has always been my week spot however, baked goods are just as sweet but require a trip to somewhere special or a neiche for baking yourself!
I hope to someday have as many good reads as you, however being a sugar junkie I would start my library with Sugarbaby by Gesine Bullock-Prado & Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever! What would a sweet tooth do with out starting with those two books!? Lol! Keep up the good work! I enjoy your blog!
Sincerely,
Stacie
Wow, they all seem so nice! But I’ve got to say Cookiepedia has my vote! :)
I would love to cook from Joy the Baker’s Cookbook, since I enjoy cooking as well as baking, and it seems like it covers all courses and dishes. Also, The Divvies Bakery Cookbook totally intrigues me because, although I am not vegan or even vegetarian, I love experimenting with different types of products and substitutions ! Thanks for the opportunity and I cannot wait to see what you make from these ! :)
Les Petit Macarons! I’ve tried making these before with no success (though they still tasted yummy!) so i definitely want to give it another try. Maracons are one of my favs!
Sweet Auburn sounds good. LIke you, I live near Atlanta–on the Southside. But I have to modify all my recipes for gluten free . . .
i want all!! of the delicius books!! but i prefer milk and cookies or les petit macaron… and all i want all!! i can’t decide for only one book!!…
Tough choice, I always love the PW, but some of the other ones were tempting too like the Splendid Ice Cream’s.
Pie it forward & hand held pies caught my eye!!
Handheld Pies and Milk and Cookies!
Oh who am I kidding? I want to cook from all of them!! Thanks for sharing a little bit of what inspires you!
Would love to try Les Petite Macarons!
Oh my I don’t think I can choose! I loooooove cooking but baking is just so much more fun! I would have to cook a little bit from all of the books.
So hard to pick just one….Flour to start :)
I think for me it would either be Push-Up Pops or Sugar Baby, because they are different from my normal baking creations, and I had no clue what the push-up pops were so I already had to go look them up! But, I just got the icecream maker attachement for my kitchenaid as a wedding present, so I need ice cream recipes too! You are right, way too many options, way too hard to choose!!
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. hands down.
Joy the Baker, followed closely by Back in the Day bakery!
Pie it Forward
mmmm pie
Les Petits Macarons! Macaroons are SO PRETTY, but look SO HARD TO MAKE! I’d love to learn how to make those. Have you ever tried?
Oh my goodness, I am so in love with your ‘stack o books’!
i think Handheld Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Rachel Wharton
would be an awesome read and I know that you’re definitely talented enough for pastry and you could probably put your own spin on some of those, for sure.
I’d want to get the Les Petits Macarons cookbook!
I’ve been craving doughnuts for 2 months now! Not the grocery store ones, the real, homemade ones my grandma used to make. So I thought I’d die when I saw Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts on the list! That’s the one I’d pick! Fill that doughnut craving!
Wow – excellent collection! The one that caught my eye is definitely the Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook – that couple looks so cute!
Sweet Auburn Desserts for sure.
I would like the flour book
I had no idea Tartine bakery had a cookbook! I went for the first time this week. We are in San Fransisco for our first wedding anniversary!
Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook! Already in my kitchen, ready to make red velvet cake!
I love Pioneer woman, i have her first cookbook so i would probably start with hers first. The Push Pop book looks awesome too.
Push-Up Pops – they look interesting, fun, and very yummy!!
I would love, love ABSOLUTELY LOVE to bake out of The Divvies Bakery Cookbook!!!
the book I really want is The Divvies Bakery Cookbook by Lori Sandler, because my sister is allergic to dairy and my grandmother allergic to eggs
Push Up Pops! Perfect for summer. I’d love to see you create these step by step along with info on where to purchase the containers. I’m a huge cookbook collector, thanks for writing this post!
Push Up Pops! Perfect for summer. I’d love to see you create these step by step along with info on where to purchase the containers. I’m a huge cookbook collector, thanks for writing this post!
Hand-Forged Doughnuts!! The cover alone makes me want to run right out and buy that book!
I like the Pioneer Womans cookbook, and I would use the money towards a waffle maker.
The Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts book looks delicious!
Marshmallow Madness…because I’ve never made marshmallows and those look so cute and yummy!! :)
I would love to start with Sweet Auburn Desserts. It looks SO yummy. Next would be the Marshmallow Madness! I am loving the unique sweet treats!
Oh. My. Goodness! My Weight Watchers resolve is not going to last for long…. but if I had to choose from the books, I would pick “Handheld Pies” because I love pie, and they are way too cute in a mini version!!
I added the Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book and and Pie it Forward to my Amazon wishlist.
Tartine Bread is calling my name. I am a sucker for freshly baked bread though Top Pot Hand-Forged Donuts does look enticing. Old fashioned donuts with just a light dusting of sugar….yum!!
the Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook! What a great title too!
Joy the baker cookbook!!!
Joy the baker cookbook!!
Handheld Pies would inspire some great treats for the summer, I think!
I vote for Push Up Pops because you are right; anything small is big!
Joy’s book!!! love her blog so I know I’ll love her book!
Joy the Baker! but….handheld pies is right up there too!
We used to make deep fried doughnuts when we were kids and they were amazing, but I bet the doughnuts in Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts are amazing! I’d love to try and make ’em :)
i just purchased The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook and haven’t made anything outta of it yet but i can’t wait too! This was a great book when i thumbed thru and can’t wait to start baking my way thru!
I’m gonna go with Handhelp Pie. Sweet and Savory all in one work sounds good to me.
What? You’re making me choose one?!?! I can’t do it! They all look sooooo amazing! :)
I had been eyeing Joy the Baker…but now you’ve got some new ones on my list! :)
I love Joy the Baker! I didn’t even know she had a cookbook out! I’d love to bake from that one :)
Milk and Cookies first, then The Sugar Cube.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I would love Flour. Thanks!!
I just got three of the books on that list for my birthday. I think I’ll have to go with Home Baked Comfort- I’m dying to bake from that!
I would love to bake from the ultimate cookies book!!! :)
Home Baked Comfort!
I’ve already baked from The Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook!! I think though that I must have Cookiepedia, that book is just screaming at me to buy it and bake cookies.
There are so many! but the top 5 are Joy the Baker, Handheld Pies, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, The Cookiepedia, and lastly The Sugar Cube! these have been on my list for a while!
Oh my! They all look inviting but I’d have to go with the Top Pot Hand Forged Donuts. I mean, COME ON…DONUTS!!!! =)
I think you should start with Sweet Auburn Desserts! They look amazing!!!! But it might be the fact that I’m 8mo pregnant – hahha
Flour looks amazing…would love to try one of her specialties!
I’m dying to get my hands on Ree Drummond’s new book! I love the Pioneer Woman!
Oh wow!! So many wonderful books to choose from…I’d have a hard time to. That Push Up Pops looks fun, so go for it:)
Ultimate Cookies!
Ultimate Cookies!!!!
It would have to be Sweet Auburn Desserts! I’m from Atlanta also!
I would sooo buy the Sugarbaby book!! I am so obsessed with creating sugar art. I watch the Food Network Challenges all the time :)
Ooh! Tough call. I already have the Jeni’s book (Jeni’s is AMAZING–EVERYONE should try her ice creams)…so I think I’m going to go with the Back in the Day cookbook. Too cute.
Hand Forged Doughnuts… love old fashioned ;)
I love to bake and so many of these books look fun. Hmmm… If I had to pick one to start with I guess I’d go with Flour by Joanne Chang. I’ve heard nothing but great things about her bakery!
Definitely Les Petits Macarons… I saw some gorgeous ones from Laduree and I can’t get the colors out of my head!
I want to bake from Handheld Pies! Though they all look so good…
Handheld pies!
Sugarliscious! Just started my own business in cake pops…put a new twist on it (pictures on my site…) and am having a ball using fondant and playing with chocolate!
I would love to use (not in any order)
Ultimate Cookies – The spaghetti cookie is so cute!
Handheld Pies – Love the little pie concept!
Ice Cream Book – Oh my! Woud love to make a recipe!
Ree’s Cookbook – To Die For!
They all sound amazing, but I would want to try Sugarlicious and/or Push-UP Pops!
I’d really like to try push pops with homemade ice cream!
They all sound amazing, but I would want to try Sugarlicious and/or Cake Pops!
The Pioneer Woman – I love her I think she’s incredible.
Definitely Joy the Baker. I love her site, podcast and book. Your podcast with her on Homefries was great too.
I love the push up pop book :)
Hand-Forged Doughnuts!! So different from everything I’ve been baking lately!
I have PW’s new cookbook but have yet to make anything from it! I need to start with something sweet though : )
You have to ask????
Pioneer woman!
…drool….
I am seriously fantasizing that chocolate brioche and brown sugar popovers right now. aI am SO getting the Flour book first!
Then followed by the rest in your list!!
They all look wonderful but Sugarlicious would be my first or maybe pie it forward:)!!
WOW! Now to decide?
Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery + Cafe – simply because of the Nutella tarts and the Handheld Pies looks great too…ok, I admit – all of them! Thanks for the opportunity!
Pioneer Woman! Love her!
I like theTartine bread book
My boys love anything with marshmallows! I am going to check out Marshmallow Madness!
The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook for sure!
Tartine bread book for sure! I have always wanted to learn the craft of making good bread, especially sourdough. The photography looks amazing !
So hard to choose!! Definitely Ree and Joy the Baker. Thanks!
I would have to go with either the Les Petits Macarons book (I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to make these little guys) or the ice cream book! My mom gave me an ice cream maker last summer and I can’t wait to break it out and start using it again! :)
It’s hard to choose. I think I would go for the Handheld Pies book or the Hand-Forged Doughnuts.
Tough choice. I’d start with the push up pops just because I find the idea intriguing. Then I’d move on to the macarons…
One of the cookie books, or possibly one of the ice cream books…. So hard to choose!
Hand-Forged Doughnuts definitely!
Wow – they all look amazing. If I had to pick one to start with, I would go with Sugar Baby – I love the cover photo!
I’ve really been interested in trying popsicles. I’d love to get set up with a ‘starter set’ !
Handheld pies….for some reason I have been really been craving pie
I would definitely try the Home Baked Comfort book, though I’ve been dying to try to make doughnuts too!
The donut one, for sure!
O Bakerella, Why must you ask all the impossible questions!? :D today i need some comfort so im going straight for the back in the day bakery cookbook by cheryl day and griffith day. <3 loved your post.
I would choose Flour- I live in the Boston area and just love her bakery. OOOHHH to recreate all that goodness at home!
I’ve wanted the sugar baby cookbook for a long time!
I vote for Tartine Bread…..I’ve been wanting to try making bread too =)
Oooh, they all look wonderful, but I must say the Handheld Pies caught my eye – what a great idea!
