The Sprinkles Baking Book

September 15, 2016
Warning! Do not crack open this gorgeous baking book on an empty stomach. It's simply too tempting. The first book from the owner of Sprinkles Bakery, touted as the world's first cupcake-only bakery, is a beautiful ode to those portable treats. She includes 50 richly photographed recipes of Sprinkles cupcakes as well as an equal number of other favorite meal-enders. Nelson takes care to explain the process to home cooks and begins the book with a list of important equipment and ingredients as well as decorating tips and detailed baking instructions. Readers will be tempted by everything from Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting to Chocolate Marshmallow Cupcakes to Creme Brulee Cupcakes. Other desserts include ice cream sandwiches, meringue cookies, caramels, cheesecake, and more. This is a must-have book for any baker or lover of sweet treats, and there are plenty of fans of the popular bakery chain who will be interested in these recipes, as well.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
