I thought it would be fun to share some books I’ve been wanting to bake from. Just some of the sweet reads sitting on my shelf. Well, actually they are on my mantle and on my floor because I am in desperate need of a bookshelf to house them all and keep them cozy.
They pretty much stay stacked to save space. I can get more stacks on my mantle that way. But you know – the book I want to pull down is always the one on the bottom. Of course. But do I unstack them to get to the one I need? Of course not. I strain and push and wiggle to lift the ones on top and try to inch the one I want out.
It’s never pretty.
Thank goodness all of these books are.
Let’s take a quick peek at them and hopefully you can help me decide which one to use first.
Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
This is a big, beautiful book of bread. And it scares me a little. I haven’t worked with dough or yeast a lot. But I want to learn. I want to make bread! And this book from the legendary Tartine Bakery in San Francisco is gonna help me. One day.
Ultimate Cookies by Julia Usher
Photographs by Steve Adams
Let me just say that this book could just as easily be placed in the art section as it is in the cookbook section. Julia’s cookie designs and attention to detail are absolutely amazing. Her piping work is impeccable and a little intimidating too. But she has lots of pictures and instructions to help you along the way.
Sugarlicious by Meaghan Mountford
Cute treats and fun sweets. This book is full of whimsical projects to that are easy to make and decorate for any occasion. And many of them kids can make, too.
Handheld Pies by Sarah Billingsley and Rachel Wharton
Photographs by Ellen Silverman
Umm… Pies? In my hand? Sold. Tiny treats in any form are hard for me to resist. And so was this cover. The book is divided into freeform pies, structured pies and jar pies. Too cute.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond
Hey Ree – Thank you for including so many sweets in your beautiful cookbook. The Coffee Cream Cake is calling me. But so are all the other recipes. Maybe I should just start at the top and check each one off. If they are as good as the Chocolate Sheet Cake in your first book, I am in trouble.
Sweet Auburn Desserts by Sonya Jones
Photographs by Deborah Llewellyn
That’s a cover, huh. Completely captivating. I can’t stop looking at it and I think my heart just started racing.
Sweet Auburn Bakery is located in Atlanta and I can’t believe I haven’t visited yet. I must correct that immediately. Oh and stack cakes just moved up on the to-bake list. Oh my. Oh! My!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook by Cheryl Day and Griffith Day
Look how adorable these two are. This book is from another Southern bakery and it makes me want to jump in the car and head straight to Savannah, GA to visit their charming shop. Turning the pages, each dessert is more tempting than the next. And there’s savories inside, too. Bacon Jam empanadas and the ham and cheese pastry puffs have my name all over them.
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book by Jake Godby, Sean Vahey and Paolo Lucchesi
Photographs by Frankie Frankeny
With ice cream flavors like Secret Breakfast, Rosemary’s Baby and Fat Elvis … and more than 300K twitter followers, I want to know more about this little ice cream shop in San Francisco. When they say ice cream with attitude, they mean it.
Joy the Baker Cookbook by Joy Wilson
Oh Joy. Your book is a total biggie. I remember when we chatted at the book signing I had in Santa Monica and you were just starting it. Can you believe? Look at the amazingness you made. So happy for you! Oh… and those Baked Chili Cheese Fries… help me. P.S. Great arms!
Milk & Cookies by Tina Casaceli
Photographs by Antonis Achilleos
With a title like that, how can you go wrong. Divided by vanilla cookies, double chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, special cookies, family favorites, brownies and bars … milk is definitely mandatory.
Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever
Photographs by Leigh Beisch
I love this cover!!! Love it. I want to wallpaper my kitchen in it! All I know is marshmallows will be happening soon. I just need a better candy thermometer first and then look out.
Pie it Forward by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
Pies, tarts, tortes and galettes. Yes, yes, yes and yes! Filled with tons of recipes and a passion to pie it forward, Gesine’s book should make any pie lover happy.
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook by Lori Sandler
I’ve had this book for a little while now and have meant to bake from it way before now. All the recipes are vegan and some are gluten free, too. If you have a need for egg, nut or dairy free, you might want to check it out. You can order online from them, too.
The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando
Photographs by Tara Striano
An encyclopedia of cookies. Oh yes. Buttery, chocolaty, fancy, fruity, spicy and nutty cookies fill the pages of this super cute book. It lays flat, too. Love that.
Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw
Photographs by Eric Wolfinger
I’ve baked from this book before but I couldn’t help showing it again. It’s really beautiful and one of the few books that I want to make almost everything inside. P.S. I have a recipe in the book, too. Fun!
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts by Mark and Michael Klebeck with Jess Thomson
Photographs by Scott Pitts
I didn’t make it to Top Pot Doughnuts when I was in Seattle, but hopefully I can fix that one day soon. I love cake doughnuts and old fashioned doughnuts. Okay, I love any doughnuts. Except filled. Can’t do filled so much.
Les Petits Macarons by Kathryn Gordon and Anne McBride
Photographs by Steve Legato
I love these little cookie confections. I’ve made them a couple of times, but not enough to feel confident with them, so I scooped up this cute book for inspiration.
Push-Up Pops from Courtney Dial Whitmore
Photographs Kyle Dreier
Hey Courtney! Thanks for sending me your book. I have my push-up pop containers and I’m ready to go. Can’t wait to play with them.
The Sugar Cube by Kir Jensen with Danielle Centoni
Photographs by Lisa Warninger
Twisted treats from the heart of this sweet little food cart in Portland. And yes, those are chocolate chips drizzed in caramel on top of that cupcake. This one looks like it will be fun to dive in to.
Sugar Baby by Gesine Bullock-Prado
Photographs by Tina Rupp
This book is mostly about cooking with sugar instead of baking with it. Working on the stove instead of the oven. And yes, you can make your own rock candy at home. Super excited about that one. The recipes are divided by temperature so a good candy thermometer would be helpful.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer
Photographs by Stacy Newgent
I love everything about this book. The topic, the design, the unique flavors, the way the ice cream recipes are photographed. And I would love it more if I owned an ice cream machine so I could make some too. In the meantime, I just read that Jeni started selling some of her flavors at The Fresh Market last week – Yay for us! And you can also order them online.
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson
Photographs by Keller + Keller
Spectacular recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery fill the pages of this mouth-watering book. Nutella tarts, chocolate brioche, and brown sugar popovers sound like a good place to start.

Giveaway sponsored by me.
The Divvies Bakery Cookbook.
Ultimate cookies…count me in!!!
My sweet and savory sides are torn. A local store stocks Jeni’s ice cream, and it is amazing, so I’d love to test out Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. However, given that I don’t have an ice cream maker, I think savory wins and I would have to fill my house with lovely homey scents while I baked from Tartine Bread.
they all look so yummy! but think my kids would love the Push Up Pops!!
Wow, tough choice!
I’d love to try some new ice cream recipes from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home – summer’s around the corner! Then move into Milk and Cookies for the fall!
And then…
So many great choices! Love the first Pioneer Woman cookbook, so I’d love to get the second.
Marshmallows!!! Always wanted to learn how to make them!!!!!:)
I would start with Cookiepedia! Probably something from the double chocolate section. :)
My husband and I both have a weakness for cookies, so we would go nuts with this one!
Top Pot Doughnuts, for sure! Sugar baby is a close second though.
I’d like to check out the Handheld Pies book. I’m sure it is full of great gift ideas!
I want to make that amazing looking cake of the cover of the Williams Sonoma Home Baked Comfort. That looks seriously good.
Handheld Pies… something with chocolate!
Handheld Pies! This one looks great for summer camps lunch boxes :)
Hi Bakerella! I own the sugarbaby book and have not baked from it yet, but I would like to get the Pioneer Woman book! I loved her t.v. show and I got recipes from that, but I want a whole book full of recipes!
The Sugar Cube book looks adorable! I bet the inside is just as cute (and delicious)!
The first book I would get would be The Divvies because my baby daughter has egg allergy. Then I would get Joy the Baker. I love cookbooks!! Soo appealing to the eye :) (and taste too!)
I want to try Flour by Joanne Chang……looks so yummy!
Doughnuts . . . definitely Hand Forged Doughnuts!!!!
Who couldn’t resist one of those :)
I would have to go with Tartine Bread. I have never really gotten into baking bread, but that cover just looked so good! I would love to try all of them, but I have a ton of sweets cookbooks, so this one would be really different for me.
That push-up pops book looks awesome! I’d love to try those out!
ultimate cookies! i’ve been drooling over that book since it came out. :)
“Flour” by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson will be my first one to begin with ^_^
It would be a three way tie between “flour,” “milk and cookies,” and “pie it forward.” I need to bake something right now! : )
Oh the bread book for sure. I love working with dough and yeast, it’s so satisfying, and that tartine bread looks amazing!
WOW, you will be one busy bakerella- that’s alot of reading. I’m glad to know that others have a stash of as yet unread cookbooks. I would go for Les Petits Macarons! My son has been asking me to make them for a while now, but I have no idea how. Thanks not only for the great Mothers Day gift ideas but also for another wonderful giveaway!
I am totally after that Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts book…sweet!!!
I have been obsessed over the past few days with hand held pies. I would love to bake my way through the book “Handheld Pies. I love your assortment of cookbooks. Lovely.
I would want to bake from The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook first!
I will start with the push up pops book…..i was thinking to do it since a while ago….
omg i would get the hand held pint sized sweets..yeah!!
thanks for an opportunity to win.
melissa
It is really hard to decide, but probably Flour!
I’m crazy about french macarons and i need to improve my technique to make it perfect. Les Petits Macarons would be a great help.
Those books are sooo cute, might be adding some new ones to my never ending wish list! I am a vegan baker and I love Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World but mostly I really have a lot of fun taking non-vegan recipes and adapting them to my lifestyle. Especially my mom’s zucchini cake w/cream cheese frosting, YUM!
Cookiepedia!!!
Macarons!! I have had some success with them in the past but would love to master them~!!
Milk & Cookies. I love cookies!!
This was a good list – I would like and will be getting a few of those but for the sake of the contest Fat Elvis was/is my favourite Elvis as in I love Fat Elvis in his jump suit so sexy so fine…so I need to make and eat some Fat Elvis ice cream!
Definitely Joy’s! I already have it and her recipes are amazing! i am in love with that book and have made 7 of the recipes already which all turned out really well.
OR
The bread one which looks amazing and I too want to learn to make bread but havent got the guts to work with yeast!
Les Petit Macarons – would love to be able to make these!
Wow… they all look amazing… what a fun stack of potential. I would pick…. Sugar Baby or Marshmallow Madness or Les Petits Macarons. I’ve always wanted to make spun sugar, but it scares me. Ha ha.
Definitely Les Petits Macarons. I’ve never actually eaten one, but i would love to make them and learn what all the fuss is about! :0)
JULIA M USHER’S ULTIMATE COOKIES?they look so great
Tartine! I’ve never baked bread- would be a good excuse to start!
I would absolutely go for “Les Petits Macarons!” They’re the elusive treats – the ones I’m intimidated by!
I suppose since I actually own Flour I should start baking from it first. :) But all the other ones look so good too!
I love macarons. I so obessed with macarons right now so I think any book with macarons will be my favorite.
Milk and Cookies looks great!
Oh my gosh, those are some beautiful books… I love using my cookbooks are decoration :)
I would piiick Tartine Bread or Joy the Baker — love that woman!
Thanks bakerella!
The Pioneer Woman cooks!! Please!!
I say you should dive right into Cookiepedia! But they all look super cute and delicious!!
Handheld Pies! My 7 yo son is obsessed with pies and if I can make them his size I think that might send him over the edge :-)
The Sugar Cube! Those two caramel desserts in the picture look awesome!
I’d have to say that I’m loving the “Back in the Day” cookbook. Why? Because I remember back in the day!
I’d bake from Tartine Bread.. I think I’d like to eat from the Top Pot Hand-forged Donut book first though… yummy!
Wow, that’s a hard decision. I would spend all my time looking thru them all, and not cooking LOL. I think my choice to start with is the Ultimate Cookies. Just getting into cookie-making.
I’m torn between Push-up Pops and Hand Held Pies. Oh who am I kidding, would love to try them all.
I have to pick just one!? I would love to cook from all of them, but I’ve been really wanting to try a couple of bread recipes in my new french oven, so Tartine Bread would be at the top of my cookbook list. :)
Pie it forward please!
Sugarbaby! I love cotton candy and it looks delicious on that cover!
All of them look spool good. I think I’d try the donuts since I have been craving them lately :)
Whoa… they all look amazing. I would love Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts, because I may or may not have an obsession with doughnuts!
Joy the baker! Or the home baked comfort. I can’t decide. All of them actually….
no matter how much I love love LOVE sweets, tartine bread is the one I’d bake from first. I love bread!
I’ve had my eyes on the ”Back in the day” cookbook for a while myself, so that’s my suggestion.
But when you’ll get your new candy thermometer, you should begin ”Sugar baby” it seems so spring-ish.
With summer just around the corner, I’d have to go with the Humphrey Slocombe Ice Cream book! Love ice cream, and so do my kiddos!
Back in the Day Bakery AND Sugar Cube AND Hand Held Pies
Sweet Auburn Desserts! Looks delicious!!!
Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson. I want to learn to bake bread next.
Oh that Tartine Bakery and the Flour bakery books look divine!
Um DEFINITELY “Handheld Pies” – I made my first mini strawberry-rhubarb pies this weekend and they were heavenly. I’d love to try more flavors/styles!!
I think I’d have to start with the Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. What an amazing group of books! Thank you Bakerella!
Just one? That’s tricky. I have wanted to add The Pioneer Woman’s new book to my collection, but I am completely intrigued by Milk & Cookies. Thanks for sharing!
The Hand Held Pies – what an adorable idea!
the pioneer woman :)
Sweet Auburn Desserts! It’s been on my Amazon Wishlist for a while now!
I would love to bake from “PIe It Forward”. Sugar Baby is one of my all time favorites and I know her new cookbook would be just as great.
i’d have to say “back in the day” or “the divvies”. thank you!
I love The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook…I want to make everything in it!
Definitely the macaron cookbook. I want to learn how to make these gems! I tried them once and really liked them but pretty intimidated to make them.
This is tough, but I think I’d go with one of the pie books, since pies are something I’d like to make more of. :)
I love Joy the baker! I would get her cookbook along with Pioneer Woman’s!
I’d have to go with the Pushup Pops. I love making and decorating cakes, so I think this would be a fun new take on mini cakes!
That’s a tough choice, but I would probably try the Petite Macaron book. My first attempt at making macarons from an internet recipe didn’t work, so a book might help!
Back in the day bakery cookbook and sugarlicious. They look amazing.
The Cookiepedia…can never have enough cookies.
I’d have to go for Pioneer Woman!
Wow – that’s alot of books! I just bought the Joy the Baker Cookbook and Ree’s too. I am so excited to make some of the recipes in both of these books and I would love more books to add to my collection :)
So hard to choose! But I think I’d go with either Flour or Milk&Cookies.
I’d have to say Milk & Cookies… since seeing the cover all i can dream about is baking a bunch of cookies and eating them with a tall glass of cold milk. YUM!!
That Flour cookbook looks amazing! You had me at “Nutella.”
I would love to see The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond. She has some of the most delcious recipes!
Definitely Sweet Auburn Desserts! Can’t pass up anything from Atlanta =)
OOOOHHHHHH! I can’t decide! I think I would have to choose The Pioneer Woman, Handheld pies and Joy the Baker… ;)
Can I say all of them?? Well, if I can’t I’d go with The Pioneer Woman cookbook.
I would bake from the last book Flour, I love me some carbs and man o man do those look good!
Wow, I’m conflicted between “Les Petits Macarons” and “sugarbaby”. Thanks for the opportunity. Good Luck everyone!
I have been dying to try home-made doughnuts for the longest time now—so it would most definitely have to be Top Pots Hand Forged Doughnuts :) They all look so fantastic though!
I would cook from Push-Up Pops since I’ve never made them before.
Push It Pops! So Cute!
This was such a fun read!
I have a cookbook weakness… I LOVE THEM.
I have a couple of these & there are a couple more I have never seen- so fun to see!
Flour-
that’s the one-
or maybe Hand Pies?
Oh boy- thanks so much for all the fun books to look for :)
Being a southern woman, I would choose Ree Drummond’s book:The Pioneer Woman Cooks Food from my Frontier. Her cheese enchiladas are fantastic (and everything else I have made from her recipes).
There were so many that looked great! Thanks for sharing!
it would HAVE to be handheld pies! I’ve never heard of such a thing! they look delicious and would be great to serve to guests at a party!
Oh my goodness. I love cookbooks and what an amazing assortment. I’d start with:
Splendid Ice Creams.
Thats a hard one… do I want to PLAY or do I want to LEARN? The Pushup Pops, Marshmallow, and Milk & Cookies would certainly be play things… the Sugarbaby book… learning… Ultimate Cookies would be continuing education… Tartine Bread…chemistry class… Back in the Day and Pioneer Woman… history lessons. AHHH… so many books… so little time!
ultimate cookies!!!!
looks like the most fun with all the colors and cute ideas. Pies, cupcakes, candy etc don’t get made as much over here, but batches of cookies are always being whipped up and the cuter the better! winner or not i might be buying that book!
Im betweent he handheld pie book and the macron book…i have been wanting to make macarons but i am very intimidated by them. Hopefully i can work up the nerve to make them! :)
They all look good! I would love to be able to check out Joy the Baker or the Pioneer Woman book!
I’ve been eyeing the Tartine Bread book for quite a while. I would definitely start there!!! Nothing is more satisfying to me than creating a perfect loaf of bread!
Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook! They ARE adorable, sweet modern vintage…sweet plus savory…how can you go wrong??? Love!
Push Up Pops? OMG! Those look fabulous! All the books inspire my eyes, my heart, my future kitchen happiness!
They all look do great but the divvies bakery cook book looks interesting.
I’ve already made Ree’s apple dumplings – I just had to see if it really worked! So the choice is clear – Les Petits Macarons. A challenge to get the perfect foot and flavor infusion with that crisp yet chewy cookie surrounding a burst of refreshing filling – complimentary yet constrating on the palette. Then finished off with a delicate detailed topper. Looks like fun!
Sugarlicious! They just look so cute and not too hard to do!
Flour by Joanne Chang with Christie Matheson! Everything looks delicious!
I really want the new pw cookbook. I have eyed in the store a few times already. So many of these look like great books!
its a toss up between Jeni’s splendid ice cream or Marshmallow madness!! I have a weakness for homemade marshmallows.
I know I would love Pioneer Woman’s book as I have the first one and love her site. I’d be interested in Joy the Baker’s book and Sweet Auburn Desserts. I can’t believe that I lived in Atlanta and never even went to that place! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
Yummmm … Milk and Cookies, definitely! I mean, I want to grab a tall, cold one (glass of milk) before even perusing the book! :)
I am a bookaholic so all would be good, but if I really had to choose, well Push Up Pops. Ultimate cookies, Handheld Pies and ……
I love the look of Macarons but I’ve been to chicken to try them out. I’d love to see what you do with them! Love love love your site :o)
So hard to pick! It’s a tie between Milk and Cookies and Pioneer Woman
ULTIMATE COOKIES for sure!
I’d have to bake from “Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts: Secrets and Recipes for the Home Baker”. Doughnuts are my guilty pleasure, and the only sweet I haven’t been able to cut out of my diet yet!
I like the milk and cookies book!
Thanks Bakerella, you are awesome!
I love to have The Pioneer Woman Cooks or Sugar Baby. Those rock candy looks amazing!
Oh I’m in love with macaroons!
I’ve been wanting to try macarons so…Les Petits Macarons looks incredible! Wouldn’t mind trying Milk & Cookies and Sugarlicious, too! I have “Push Up Pops” and it’s a WONDERFUL book!
The Hand Forged Donuts books looked very interesting.
Joy the Baker – looks so fun. And I really want to try macarons so maybe that one too. And another…and another…..
This is so inspirational – I love my cooking/baking books but Home Baked Comforts looks paticularly yummy. Although for AGES now I’ve wanted a good book on Macaroons – so maybe that might be the way to go!
Definitely the last one- Flour! The baked goods look absolutely amazing.
Sugarlicious by Meaghan Mountford!
I would love to try something from the “Back in the Day Bakery”! She seems sweet and quirky! LOVE IT!
All of those books a drool-worthy, so how do you choose??? I have Joy the Baker in my Amazon wish list, so I’d probably start with that one. But I do loooooooove ice cream, so maybe I’d try either Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home or Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book.
I’d definitely want to try something from Sugar Baby!
Milk and Cookies would absolutely be my first choice, then Flour, then Cookiepedia I think. Though I’ve browsed at a few of the others at the book store already and they look amazing too! :)
I would love to try the donuts book— when I was growing up donuts were the cure for everything! I also would like to try the different cookie books— I am always in search of good cookie recipes. I am not very good at making bread, so maybe if that bread book contains some magic just for me– that would be a go, too! I love all the covers on them— very inviting!
I have the Flour cookbook as well and it is truly amazing. I just made the Sticky Sticky Buns (again!) yesterday. In the short time I’ve had it, I’ve made five recipes from it and they’ve all been spectacular!
Hand Held Pies!!!! Oh my!!! Anything that you can stuff into a piece of flaky pie dough is a winner! Fruit, meats & even ice cream! Any book on your list would go great in a pie!
I’d probably start with the pies and work through the rest.
The Macarons! I am obsessed with Macarons!
I would like to try ‘Home Baked Comfort’ first. I would love to flip through the pages of every single one of those though.
Sugar Baby all the way. Anything with that much sugar has to be good!
Tartine Bread is my favourite. I sometimes bake little breads and my two daughters (and myself) love them! And it’s always nice to try new recipes, anyway.
Definitly I’d want to bake from “Push*Up*Pops” and also from “Milk & Cookies”!
Wow! Sugar baby, milk and cookies and Joy the baker to start!!!
Easy…would have to be Milk & Cookies! I have some of the other books you mentioned….all great :) The gift card would go toward baking supplies. Thanks!
I can’t decide – I think it would either be Flour or Milk & Cookies! They all look yummy!
They seem all sooo great!!! but my favourite one I think that would be “marshmallows madness”!
I would definitely try the “jeni’s splendid ice creams at home” book. It’s getting to be ice cream weather and those look so delicious!
Ooo, I’d love to look at all of them! Especially Handheld Pies, Push-up Pops & Sugarlicious!
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook looks absolutly adorable and yummy!!
Hmmmm wow is that ever difficult. It would probably be a toss up between Ree and Joy’s book since (besides yours of course) I follow their blogs quite religiously! Yummy yummy
Most definitely Milk & Cookies! I’m such a sucker for cookies and would love to peruse those recipes :)
Thanks for the opportunity! You’re so kind to be sponsoring the gift card yourself!
Home Baked Comfort
It’s starting to get sunny, so time for getting out the ice-cream maker. I heard “Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home” is really good, so I would love to see something from her book. But your book selection is really great, so it is hard to choose.
I love working with sugar as much as I love working with flour! As I already tried Sugarbaby, I would go with Flower by Joanne Chang!
I definitely would want to start with the Flour cookbook….thise pictures look divine and I am just a stickler for baked goods!! Bring it on!!!!!
Back in the Day Bakery…I just bought this while on vacation in Nashville…love baking and southern baking best…
Oh, how to choose!? My first (of many) would be the Handheld Pies – pastry, yummy filling all in a tiny treat – Yum!
I would start with Divvies Bakery Cookbook and them Push Up Pops. Then, I would continue with The Sugar Cube…oh, I would experiment with All of them!! Thanks Bakerella!
I would bake from “Bake in the Day bakery cookbook”. I took it out of the library and now can’t decide what to bake first!
Sugar Baby
Probably Pie It Forward. I can’t ever seem to get my pies to turn out!
Handheld Pies – I love pie, and I have hands!
great post! I haven’t seen half of these! Hope you’re well!!
Sugar Baby – I can never grow out of loving cotton candy!
Tartine bread, or pioneer woman, or the ice cream book, or pie, or………
Milk & Cookies, I can envision parties of just milk & cookies. I think the bread cookbook would be a great try too.
Hand held pies! My husband and I prefer birthday pie to birthday cake, and handheld pies just sound amazing!
I’d go with the doughnuts book
I’d bake from the Milk & Cookies book first – have been in a cookie mood lately…!
Tough choice but I would go with push up pops. They look so cute and delicious!
I think I own half of these books and just added the rest to my wish list. Today I’m going to be making the pop tarts from Flour. If the come out nicely, I’ll make some rhubarb jam this week and we’ll have Rhubarb Pop Tarts!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier
Thats a tough decision. But for I have been baking my own bread for a while now I would say Tartine Bread.
Push-up Pops! Yum!
Push Up Pops for sure! I’ve been wanting to try them out but haven’t found a good book to do them!
It’s hard to choose but I think I would want to start with Marshmallow Madness :D
The Divvies Bakery Book – can always use awesome allergy friendly recipes, especially for dessert (sweet daughter has tons of allergies :( ).
All those look amazing! I love cookbooks, especially beautiful ones with great recipes.
I want all the cookbooks! I would bake from “Flour” first. The food on the cover immediately got my mouth watering.
Handheld Pies would be my choice. Can’t you just picture a pie in each hand with a bite in it. YUM YUM
Har choice as their are three or four I want now, LOL! The Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook for daily recipes and that Sugarbaby one for my daughter’s birthday party. I am planning on making rock candy and this would be perfect!
I’d have to say Sugarlicious…so my kids could help me create!…But I love cookbooks and trying new things, so there are a lot of close seconds!
Macarons are the one thing I haven’t tackled yet- kind of scared!!! So I would want to try the gorgeous Les Petit Macaron.
It is hard to make one only choice …
Maybe Joy the Baker Cookbook !
OMG! So hard to choose, but my bias (from Atlanta too) is that you read Sweet Auburn Desserts first!!
WOW! What a fantastic collection of books!! For me, it’s the Tartine Breads first then Back in the Day to finish me off. Yum! Nice giveaway – thanks!
Definitely Pie It Forward! My fiance has been asking me to make him pie for about six months and I don’t even know where to begin!
Push up pops
Milk & Cookies!
Push-Up Pops!!! They are so much fun to use :)
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book for sure!! We just made homemade ice cream a week ago and I was thinking how I wished I had an ice cream cookbook!!
Any of these would be a great addition to a crazy bakers library – BRING IT ON!!!
I really want to try out some recipes from the Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream book!
Yes – tough choice, I would pick push up – pops! Thanks – love your blog!
The back in the day bakery cookbook would be my first choice!
I love the Push-Up Pops. I know my grandchildren would love them!!!
My husband is ALWAYS talking about Top Pot Doughnuts and his desire to make good doughnuts like theirs, so I would have to make something out of that cookbook first. I’d like YOU to make something from the Push Up Pops book since I’m sure it would be fantastic.
Definitely Sugar Baby… mmmmmmmm sugar.
