Miette
Last fall during the book tour, I visited a bunch of cupcake bakeries and sweet shops in just about every city I passed through. Miette was one of my favorites in San Francisco. If you get a chance, make sure to give them a visit.
They have two locations. One in the Ferry Building and one on Octavia Street. They also have one in Oakland and another opening later this year in Larkspur, California.
In San Francisco, the one on Octavia Street is bigger than the Ferry building location, but both are just as cute as can be.
I loved the colors and the display of sweets. So did Julie.
Everywhere you turn are the cutest treats with adorable packaging.
Lovely macarons.
Panna Cotta and Pots de Creme.
Little cakes.
Lots of little cakes. Miette is known for their sweets of smaller scale.
These are all 6 inch cakes which makes them even more charming.
And check out their cupcakes. Beautiful!
Miette recently released a cookbook filled with recipes of their signature sweets.
Pretty awesome.
And pretty cute. I love the scalloped pages.
It ties in beautifully with the shop accents.
See. Same cupcakes.
But that’s not all.
Marshmallows. I must make some soon.
Crackers and cookies.
Tarts and tartlettes. I just want to sink my teeth right in. Forget the fork.
Caramels.
And cakes.
I made the Tomboy Cake. So good. It’s made with chocolate and cocoa.
And I must say, it feels good to feel like baking again.
Here’s the Tomboy Cake Recipe straight from the book, courtesy of my and Miette’s publisher, Chronicle Books.
But that’s not all.
This book is just so cute that I thought I’d give you guys a chance to win a copy.
And because most people don’t already own 6 X 3 inch pans, I’m giving away two straight and two contour pans so you can make all the little Miette cakes you want. I’m also including some tartlet pans in case you don’t have any of those handy either.
To enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post and answer the following question.
- What was the last cookbook you acquired or what is the next cookbook you can’t wait to get your hands on?
- Deadline to enter is Tuesday, July 12 at 7:00 pm ET. Sorry, time’s up. Winner announced below.

Okay, time to announce the winner of this cute little cookbook and petite pans.
The winner is comment #2636
Congratulations Pat! And guess what. I’m going to throw in a copy of Cake Pops for you, too.
Hope you enjoy them both. – Bakerella

The last cookbook I bought was Pioneer Woman’s cookbook, and it’s wonderful. It’s had a permanent place on my countertop cookbook stand. :)
The last cookbook I got was ‘Cooking for Geeks’ by Jeff Potter
Last one was The Pioneer Woman’s Cookbook – love it!
Honestly, I was just thinking “I need Bakerella’s cookbook!!!” My brother is having a big welcome home party next week and I’m in charge of 75 cupcakes! I have no idea what to make!
The last cookbook I got was Pioneer Woman cooks!
This cookbook looks amazing and I can’t remember the last cookbook I boiught
The last cookbook I bought was Darina Allen’s Forgotten Skills of Cooking – and it makes me want to go live on a farm and forage and preserve until the day I die! *grin*
Thanks for offering this awesome contest!
Since I love cookbooks so much, i believe I bought from a local church. I could sit and read a cookbook as if I were reading a novel.
The last book I bought was the pioneer woman.
The last cookbook I got was the Weight Watchers cookbook. But I honestly can’t wait to get this cookbook. I love great books and great visuals. The scalloped edges are to die for.
The last cookbook we got was “the food of ITALY”. We finally finished our collection of this series – beautiful images in it!
Last cookbook was How to Cook Everything……or something close to that. Too heavy!
This would be fun to win but mostly I am just happy to read a post from you!
Thanks.
My last cookbook was the Wagamama cookbook (and it was super cheap). I think that my next might have to be the Cooking with Trader Joe’s book, now that Trader Joe’s is my main grocery store.
My past cookbook purchase was the Bread Bible, which was returned to me yesterday after being lent to a friend.
I actually JUST bought the new Babycakes NYC book…Babycakes Covers the Classics…it’s from a sweet little cupcake/donut shop in New York. Love it!
I’m so glad that you’re back to baking!
The last book I got was a pierogi cookbook from a little Slovak culture center. I sure wouldn’t mind getting this little book. The smaller cakes would be divine too…given that with two of us, full sized cakes sitting around are the last thing we need. :)
I’d love to acquire this cookbook next! It’s gorgeous enough for a coffee table book. Thanks!
So glad you feel like baking again. Praying for your continued recovery.
The last cookbook I got was Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes! Yum
I’m looking to get my hand on a cookbook called: Cooking For Men And Boys.

My last cookbook purchase is called Almost Meatless by Joy Manning and Tara Desmond. It’s awesome. The name is pretty descriptive. Last night I made the chili, and the recipe served 8 while only using 4 ounces of meat! So much healthier and completely delicious!
The last cookbook I bought was probably the Tartine bread book. I still have to try something from it but it looks awesome!
The last cookbook I bought was the Pioneer Woman’s. Definitely thinking about a baking book next!
Cuuute! Last cookbook I bought was “A Year’s Worth: Recipes from the Dunsandel Store” which is from a cafe 2 hours drive from where I live. I have yet to visit but the cookbook was too charming not to buy!
Damn this place is the epitome of perfect merchandising. I would spend far too much money if I ever got to visit!
Like others, the last cookbook I bought was Pioneer Woman’s. Love it! Glad your baking again! :)

I’m going to have to look into the Pioneer Woman’s book. Looks popular. And oh, by the way, I made my first batch of cake balls today. I find the little suckers a bit hard to dip, but it was my first batch. Not perfect, but YUMMY.
