Fans of Greenspan already trust her to deliver toothsome treats that are both classic and creative, and her latest book will sate their appetite for even more sweet treats. . .These recipes will make their way into lunchboxes and after-school snack rotations, as well as more show-stopping events, all while reminding bakers of the magic of exploring textures and flavors. VERDICT Greenspan has written what is sure to be among the year's best baking books, which will have readers thinking about the rich ways in which cakes have been a source of inspiration to bake, eat, share, and repeat. - Library Journal (starred review)
My longtime source of baking inspiration (and mental hand-holding when I attempt a new, ambitious confection) is renowned baker Dorie Greenspan. Hers are the cookbooks I flip through to understand how a tricky technique really works, or to glean creativity for the many cookie swaps that fill my calendar each holiday season. Greenspan's recipes always, always work, and her flavor combinations feel both comfortingly familiar and enticingly innovative all at once. - Kelsey Jane Youngman, senior service editor, Epicurious
