Review Quotes

"There are recipes for just about everyone, from those who have never wielded an offset spatula to those who think nothing of assembling a layer cake, and Ebuehi is a thoughtful, self-aware guide to it all... She knows of what she speaks when she writes, "the person bringing dessert has much to consider." Thanks to her, that person now has a book's worth of beautiful options to consider, too. "--Eater

"If you're the person who volunteers to bring dessert to every dinner party, you really need the latest book from the endlessly creative author of The New Way to Cake and A Good Day to Bake. The desserts are meant to be cozy and fun--more casual than cheffy--and we're excited to bake every one of them."--Maggie Hoffman, Epicurious,
