Small Batch Baking
Reviews / May 1, 2017

The Small Batch Baking cookbook is wonderful.  If you are only cooking for 1, or 2, it’s perfect for you. My daughter is thinking of moving out, she’s almost 20, so I’ve let her claim possession of the cookbook.  She and her boyfriend will really need it, and since it’s just the two of them, it’s perfect.  Portion control will be easy to deal with, since it’s for 1, or 2, cooking. This Small Batch Baking book is so satisfying.  Sarah has already made her boyfriend several treats out of it, and she is really doing a good job.  We get to taste test, to make sure it’s worthy of giving to Josh.  It always is.

Whether you’re a novice or long‑time baker, these mouth-watering recipes will help you appreciate just how easy baking can be.

Baking Buttercream Basics
Reviews / April 10, 2017

Buttercream Basics is a remarkable baking book.  My 19 year old hasn’t put the book down for a second.  She loves reading about the different Buttercream Icings.  Sarah recently found out that there are more than four different types of buttercream.  And, she can make vegan buttercream, which she’s extremely excited about. The decorating techniques are easy to follow, and it’s that easy to make, as well. Full color throughout and filled with absolutely gorgeous photographs, this book offers you 35 projects to choose from. So have fun, because everyone deserves to have their cake and eat it too! Carey Madden has developed an entirely fresh, innovative and technically adept approach to cake decorating.  Her cakes and cupcakes have been featured in Vogue and Mademoiselle and enjoyed by countless celebrities and gourmets. Chapters include: Tools you can’t live without cake and icing recipes Getting Started The Icing on the Cake Borders and Inscriptions Embellishment buttercream blossoms cupcake creations There’s bits and nibbles throughout this Buttercream Basics book, telling you little hints, or guidance.
