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.
Home baked comfort!!!
Handheld Pies or Pie It Forward – my family’s favorite dessert!
They all are such great books, and I have many of them already…so my next ones that I would love to cook from are: Pioneer Woman or Les Petite Macarons! Happy Baking everyone.
I can see your dilemma! I’d go with The Sugar Cube…
The Cookiepedia or Milk & Cookies – I’m a cookie fanatic!
Joy the baker!
Probably Handheld Pies.
Probably Tartine Bread or Pie it Forward. I need to learn to make more of both
I’d love to cook/bake from the Flour cookbook or Joy the Baker’s book! I already have the Pioneer Woman’s, otherwise that would be at the top, too!
back in the day! Or Humphrey Slocombe! I’ve heard so much about their amazing ice cream….
The Cookiepedia! I love to bake cookies and would like to learn more about cookies. Thank you!
It would be hard to choose between Milk & Cookies and Pioneer Woman Cooks.
Joy the Baker :)
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home and Sweet Auburn Dessert. Oh and Milk and Cookies looks delicious too!
ahh! I’d start with a treat from the Back in the Day book and make some of Jeni’s ice cream to go with it.
I used to have stacks of books in my livingroom, now I have 2 bookcases filled. The larger bookcase has 2 rows of books (one infront of the other) on four of the five shelves; it’s time for another bookcase ;p
They all look awesome but I would have to go with Flour.
I’d have to go with Pioneer Woman’s cookbook — she hits a home run every time, and while I love to bake, it’s fun to try different categories of cooking from time to time too… THANKS for the giveaway!
I would love to try the Tartine Bread book-I love to bake bread! Thanks so much!
I would love to take a look at “Le Petits Macarons” and “Marshmallow Madness”. I made mint oreo cookies for St. Patricks Day, and they were not only delicious, but EASY, so I would like to try my hand at more stacked/filled cookies. And I love giving cocoa as gifts, and wouldn’t homemade marshmallows be perfect with it?!
Either Flour or Ree’s new cookbook. Yum!
I would love to have Tartine Bread! I always thought of making bread to be intimadating until I tried it. Now my kids love making it with me.
Home Baked Comfort
I’d have to go withThe Divvies, and i just bought Sugar baby!
Wow – that Flour one looks pretty cool!
The Home Baked Comfort really speaks to me.
(I think it says “bake me”. Odd.)
Wow…what a great collection! I’ve tried recipes from both Jeni’s and Flour…both are great books. I’ve been dying to try my hand at macarons, so I’d have to say Les Petits Macarons. Milk & Cookies is a close second…cookies are by far my favorite thing to bake (and eat!).
Humphry Slocombe! I just got an ice cream maker, but have been too nervous to try it out.
Would first go to Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson since I love making bread.
I’d love The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier as one of my blogger friends recently met her and her Molboro husband! Awesome.
I also already have Sugarlicious and the Ultimate Cookies book and love them. Some great choices here. Thanks for sharing!
I’m thinking the Milk and Cookies cookbook! Yum!
Flour! Everything on the cover makes me drool. :)
No way I could pick! I would close my eyes, grab a book, open a page, point to a recipe and go!! I have actually found some of our families favorites that way:)
Either Handheld Pies or Pie It Forward…I’m hungry for pie right now. ; )
My favs for choices are (in this order): #1 Humphrey Solcombe; #2 Sugar Baby; and #3 Flour. I have been making ice cream at home for a few years now and have had some disasters with flavors…bacon and chives? Husband wouldn’t even try that one. Sounds like these guys are right up my alley. I love experimenting with sugar also. The Flour book sounds perfect for a chilly Sunday afternoon of baking. The possibilities are endless with this selection of inspriation!
i would choose push-up-pops, looks fun and somwething new that would go with the season.
Les Petits Macarons!! Magnifique!
Flour or Hand Pies! Yum :)
Ree’s The Pioneer Woman
The Back in the Day Bakery looks like a great cookbook and a fun place to visit (must check it out next time I’m in Savannah), but the Home Baked Comfort looks really yummy, too!
The Pioneer Woman Cooks … she has a fabulous way with food. But, any and all of them look like they have my name on them.
wow what a great selection!!! hmmmm id have to go with cookiepedia :) im the cookie gal at xmas and im sure that book is loaded with awesome recipes!!
OMG! I have over 100 baking cookbooks and am sorry to say not one of them that you have shown here! I would take any one of them! Every single one of those cookbooks have my name written all over them!
Tartine Bread!
Too many to chose from! I have seen most of them, but I would love to start with Handheld Pies, then Back In the Day, Milk and Cookies, followed by Home Baked Comfort, Push Up Pops, Le Petite Macarons and then The Pioneer Woman Cooks. They all sound so great! Looking forward to adding to my collection.
Push up pops :)
I love the artwork of the Ultimate Cookies. And I’m also looking forward to trying some of the Flour recipes. Thanks!
Wow! Talk about a hard choice . . . today i would go with Home Baked Comfort! Good luck!
ALL OF THEM!!!!! I want every book you listed :) They all look just amazing!
wow what a great selection!!! hmmm id have to say cookiepedia :) im the cookie gal at christmas time and im sure that book has tons of amazing recipes inside!
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home because I went to one of her classes at Central Market, and her ice cream was delicious.
Definitely Top Pot Hand Forged Donuts! They look delicious in the picture.
Pioneer Woman Cooks. i’ve been a fan for so long but have never bought a book. I get the recipes from her website.
I’ve looked through “Flour” before and would love to actually own it. Everything looked so delicious.
I would like to see you do a recipe from Sugar Baby!
Yikes you`ve got alot of cook books, and I bet this is only part of them! They all look so delicious, however the cover that got me drooling the most was the Auburn one, my mouth was actually watering! It`s funny because when I read the spines I was sure I was going to pick one of the pie books, cause I`ve been craving pie lately. However, they all look delicious and the Day couples cover looked very cute.
Hope you`re having a nice day.
:)
mikky
I’d like t try either of the ice creams book! Got a ice cream maker for my wedding thati need to use! Sounds fun to throw in cool ingredients and get ice cream out a few hours late!
The Sugar Cube, Milk and Cookies and The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook!
Sweet Auburn Desserts and Push-Up Pops! It was hard to decide but it def boiled down to something I haven’t tried yet!! and those two books just looked crazy tempting!! TFS!!
I’d love to read Les Petites Macarons! I’m trying to master the macaron for my sister’s birthday :)
Holy cow! That’s a lot of fun cookbooks! I think I would start with Flour, but Pioneer Woman’s cookbook is a close second.
I would love to get The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook!
xoxo
taraophotos at yahoo dot com
I don’t think that I could pick just one—they all look amazing! Start at the top and work my way down the list!
I’m an Ice Cream Fanatic!!! So I would start with Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home then pair it with the treats from Marshmallow Madness!!
I would get
Wedding Cakes You Can Make (two people have asked me to make their cake this year)
other items I have had my eye on:
Celtic Medley Shortbread Pan
Progressive International Collapsible Cupcake and Cake Carrier
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. I’ve been wanting a cookbook for ice cream!
I would definitely want to prepare something from the Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream book first. I already own a copy of that book because Jeni’s is local to me (and absolutely the best ice cream I have ever had). I keep meaning to give the recipes a try but I never feel like I know where to start!
I would definitely get Joy the Baker, she is so talented and always has fun with her baking. I think she and I would be friends.
Thanks!
~Liz
I’ve already got a couple of these titles (Back in the Day is really good stuff!) but the Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts looks very intriguing. I’ve never made doughnuts before but I’d like to try, one day. Thanks for sharing some new-to-me titles!
In no particular order:
Pie it Forward … who doesn’t love pie?
Back in the Day … Old favorites … YES!
Handheld Pies … can’t get enough of those.
Jenni’s Splendid Ice Cream at Home .. you know, to go with the PIE!
Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever. Yummy marshmallows.
definitely the top pot doughnuts first!! they’re my favorite
I’ve baked from a couple of them but that Sweet Auburn Deserts looks absolutely messy delic!
Hand-forged doughnuts caught my eye but that Flour one may be the one to start with!
Can’t believe i was just in Savannah and missed that bakery! …But, I am in LOVE with marshmallows! Marshmallow Madness..love it! :)
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home looks fabulous to me (well they all do). I love Ice Cream and with summer approaching, it’d be perfect!!
Pie It Forward looks super-fun!
I love the Sugar Baby cookbook!! It’s like having a carnival sweets right at home!!
So hard to choose! Would start with Push-up Pops. They would definitely be something out of the ordinary.
Oh man…I see several I would love, but would probably start with The Pioneer Woman book. I KNOW I would find good stuff in there!
Home Baked Comfort by Kim Laidlaw. Looks amazing!
I want to try Push-Up Pops. My daughters 1st birthday is coming up and I’d love to serve these at her party. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would definitely try recipes from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home or Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book! I just had my bridal shower, and one of the guests suprised me with an ice cream maker – those books would be PERFECT!
I would love to see you do a push-up dessert from the Push-Up Pops Cookbook. I been thinking about getting that one next!
These all look amazing, but I’m a pie fiend and I’ve been meaning to try my hand at pie-in-a-jar or handheld pie for a while, so it’s Handheld Pies for me. I already added it to my Amazon wishlist.
Definitely “Home Baked Comfort”
I have been trying for ages to get a frosting the consistency of that on the cover. But being in a sorority, I’d love to make something from “Marshmallow Madness” for one of our events, just to spice things up! :D
it would be too hard to decide! All of them look great! Push-up pops looks really interesting
I am a total bread fiend, so I’d want to bake from Tartine Bread! Look at that amazing crusty gorgeousness…
I would definitely love to bake from Ree’s or Joy’s books! I like books that have a wide variety of types of recipes, because I don’t want to have to commit to a single dessert type. I might want cookies one week, and cake the next. Flour also looks intriguing. (Like you, I also need to invest in a good ice cream maker before I can get the most out of the ice cream books!)
I would start with Joy The Baker!! I need to add some of those to my must read list!!
I want Flour! We live around Boston and love to go to Joanne Chang’s Myers and Chang restaurant. The food is phenomenal and Ms. Chang works in an open kitchen — she is so warm and lovely!
Milk and Cookies! I am a cookie-aholic!
They all look beyond amazing !
Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever
looks so fun and sticky and perfect
I love the word puffalicous :)
Tartine or Flour. Bread is calling to me. Or the Jenni’s ice cream book.
Joy the Baker. I love her blog and totally want her book. PS. I have the Flour Bakery book. Try the oreos, they are AMAZING!!!
Ultimate Cookies! I would find something fun for the last day of school.
i loved eating top pot doughnuts at starbucks so that’ll be my first baking challenge!
That Push Up Pop book looks good.
Yum…my mouth is watering and I can’t do anything about it cuz I’m at work:( I’d start with Flour and keep going…
Push Pops for me, please!
Handheld Pies! The pie in a jar…must try that!
Definitely Pioneer Woman. Love her!
I would definately want to try the Home Baked Comfort first!
That little pie book looks luscious–and I am not even a pie person. But my husband is, and I am sure if you cook from it you will come up with something amazing.
Sue
Pioneer Woman!
Oh dear, so hard to choose! Handheld Pies jumped right out at me, I love individual servings and also anything miniature! Closely followed by Tartine Bread and Les Petits Macarons. Both of which are scary but that I would love to learn how to make well! Thank you Bakerella!
I just bought the Pioneer Woman and Joy the Baker… Looking forward to trying them out!
Joy the Baker, for sure :-)
Definitely Tartine!
Man, that’s a tough choice… Probably “Pie it Forward” or maybe “Handheld Pies”….
Hand-Forged Doughnuts
I’m currently on a quest to figure out doughnuts. This book = perfect. :)
Sweet Auburn Desserts…make that stack cake!
I would love to start baking from the Joy the Baker cookbook. It looks so good!!
Milk and Cookies for sure!! They all sound delicious though!
I had already planned on buying Home Baked Comfort but now I think I’m going to have to add Flour to that order too :-) Thanks for sharing.
Cookiepedia!!! YAY! It’s my 8 year wedding anniversary, and I’m looking around for inspiration of what to surprise the hubby with… this one looks awesome! (Tons of them do, actually…)
They all look tempting, but I would get Handheld Pies (I love pies!), Flour and Pioneer Woman.
I’ve bent trying to get my hands on PW’s cookbooks!
These books are making me so hungry right now! I would go for either of the pie books: Pie it Forward or Handheld Pies! :)
Sugar Baby! I love to try new things!
Milk and Cookies or Marshmallow Madness!
Flour! I am dying to learn to make eclairs!
I would LOVE to bake from Home Baked Comfort!
I’d go with the Handheld Pies book, just cause they are so stinkng cute!
I would love to try and make something from hand forged donuts. That would be awesome!
I would have to start with the Back In The Day Bakery Cookbook. Being from the south makes me want to try all of the recipes!
I don’t know about me… but I want the Ice Cream Book for my mom! She loves her ice cream maker!
Probably Joy the Baker! Thanks for the chance! :)
OMG these cookbooks all have beautiful covers and look amazing!!! I’ve always wanted a beautiful cookbook like one of these on the list. For me, my choices are first and foremost flour, and then to add in others would be home baked comfort, push up pops, and cookiepedia. So exciting!!!
I’m in Atlanta, so I vote for Sweet Auburn Desserts!
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts.
Mmmmm….. doughnuts (drooling)
:)
I would start with the Marshmallow Madness cookbook! My two year old LOVES marshmallows and I would love to be able to make her some of my own! Would probably make cute school class gift bags too!
The Handheld Pies book speaks to me! I love to make extra of things and freeze them so we can pull out just enough to have one serving each and not have a ton of extras that need to be eaten. Hand pies are perfect for that. Just to let you know that I bake all our bread for our family. I bake once a week on Sunday and sometimes once during the week if we are on a bread kick. I think the one pearl of wisdom I can give you is once you get a feel for how wet the dough should be you can make almost any recipe and it will turn out perfect. I took me a while to realize that but now I can make any bread and it is wonderful. I love to make ciabatta rolls and freeze them for impromptu panini nights! I wish you good luck in your bread endeavors!
I want to make mini pies, but my husband can’t have gluten (the horror!), so I want Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. I’ve been eyeing that book and her recipes for a while now.
I have Ree’s new cook book just haven’t started on it yet….I need to get on it! Back in the Day looks awesome!
Definitely Joy the Baker’s book or Pie it Forward! So many awesome ones!
The books I would want to bake from first, in no particular order, are: Handheld Pies, Sweet Auburn Dessert, Marshmallow Madness and Les Petits Macarons! Let’s Bake!
I absolutely love the Flour cookbook. I have been to Flour as well, it is heaven.
I cannot wait to bake from Handheld Pies, and I cannot wait to learn from Les Petits Macarons.
push up pops! what a creative (‘n delicious) idea!
Flour or Tartine Bread. I LOVE breads, pies, anything with carbs.
It’s so hard to choose, but I think I would use Sugarlicious first!
Oooh…such a hard choice! I think Push-Up pops…they look sooo yummy!!
Flour! Having worked in Boston and eaten some of the amazing creations from their bakery I dream of being able to bake that well…and to be honest I also dream about eating their delicious goodies too!
I would love to see Joy the Baker’s cookbook as I have just discovered her great website.
I LOVE COOKBOOKS! I have already cooked from The Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook and it is wonderful! Tough choice between Flour and The Back in the Day Bakery….have to go with Flour. Love the post. Thanks!
I made the Bacon Jam from Back in the Day Bakery. It was so good I was eating it by the spoonful!
I totally want to make rock candy, so Sugar Baby is my vote!
GAK! Amazingness!!!!!!!! So many fab cookbooks. I would love to check out that Williams Sonoma cookbook, or the Flour cookbook. But I’ve also been dying to get my hands on Joy’s cookbook!
Sugar Baby–I’d love to branch out and just got a fancy candy thermometer for Christmas. That hasn’t gotten much use yet…
So hard to choose just one! Sugarlicious looks great as I plan my son’s birthday party! Thanks for the ideas!
I’d try “Tartine Bread” because I’ve been making all our bread for years and years. but suddenly it isn’t working anymore and I think I need help. :)
Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook, Sugar Cube, Pioneer Woman — I want them ALL!
It was a tough choice, but I’d have to say “Ultimate Cookies” by Julia Usher. The cover photos show that she really thinks outside of the cookie jar!
That book The Sugar Cube looks like a lot of fun and Sugarbaby!!!! This would be hard to pick what book I would choose from first!!!
Hi Bakerella!
All of these books have fun ideas, but the ones that caught my eye were the Milk & Cookies, Hand Forged Donuts, & Sweet Auburn Desserts.
Just from the brief pictures, there were some things that look really fun to make!
Les Petits Macarons
Williams-Sonoma Home Baked Comfort….only because I know it has got recipes from Food Bloggers that all have books out & would be nice to get a taste of them all in one book.
CookiePedia is supposed to be great too…It’s from Rachel Ray’s food editor I think…I heard? but it has in it a recipe for Alfajores which seem to be a new trend bumping out the macaroon almost. Can’t keep up.
They all look AMAZINGGGGG!!!! I want every single one!
Tartine Bakery. I have recently gotten into bread baking and would love to try something besides whole wheat, baguettes and beer cheese bread!
handheld pies!!
Milk and Cookies! LOVE!
i would def love to have the sugarlicious book looks like allot of fun
Sugar baby!! i want that book, looks amaizing!!
Flour book- it’s genius! :)
I love the pus up pops! I need to get some of those containers. So fun!
I would start with Ree’s The Pioneer Woman Cooks! I would love to try out all her new recipes! Then I think I would move on to Push Up Pops………Thanks Bakerella!
Sugarbaby Looks yummy and really interesting!!!
The Sugar Cube looks adorable! Food trucks are my new obsession with dessert trucks on the top of my list!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Olivia
Decisions, decisions, decisions … it is just too difficult to make one!
I am a cookbookaholic. Why read a novel when there are so many great cookbooks! My picks from this list…Handheld Pies, Tartine Bread, Pioneer Woman Cooks, Milk & Cookies and Back in the Day. Fingers crossed, Kithenaid and oven ready!
I would definitely make something from Milk and Cookies. Those cookies looked amazing!
Pioneer Woman’s for sure! I love anything that comes from her!!
Sugarlicious, it looks cute and I would love to see what designs are in the book.
Pioneer Woman’s cook book is on my list for Mothers Day and I am hoping to get it!
I know I would love to try those push up pops!
The Pioneer Woman, Loved the first book and have it on my Mother’s Day wish list!
I would definetly go for Julia M Usher´s Ultimate cookies! Decorating is always my favorite part.
I have been waiting to try one of Joy’s for forever!! But, I think I would try one from each, just to be sure your not missing out on anything! :)
Flour and marshmallow madness of course…actually on thursday I will be joining a “learn to make donuts” class and I can’t wait.So wish me luck and good baking for you too
I would start with Milk and Cookies. But, they all look fabulous
I’ve been eyeing Sugarlicious for awhile now but the new Pioneer Woman’s book is also on my list.
Handheld Pies is a must-have for me! I’ll definitely be looking for that one on Amazon. Thanks so much for sharing your book list…or should I say book stack!!
Ultimate Cookies! I love how artistic and creative cookies can be!
I’ve been eyeing the Sugar Baby book for a while now so I’d definitely jump into that one first!
Oh, I actually got Jeni’s splendid ice creams cookbook for Christmas but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. I’d start with that one!! Oh, but the other look so good too!!!
Pioneer Woman for sure! Love her show on Food Network!
i know it’s probably really basic, but, i’ve had a hankering for hand-held pies lately… random, i know… but there’s something beautiful about a simple dessert… so it’s Hanheld Pies for me! kristinmik at gmail
I have me a thing for layers – so either Home Baked Comfort, or Sweet Auburn Desserts!
The only cookbook I own out of that stack is the Flour cookbook – if you make one thing, make the cream puffs! The custard cream filling is HEAVENLY. Seriously, best thing ever.
As for me, I’d go for the Tartine Bread book first since I’ve been on a bread-baking kick recently and have been trying to perfect my crusts :-)
Milk and Cookies + Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home + Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book + Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts !! :D Thanks for the givaway!!
Oohhh, the Handheld Pies book!! Tiny pies are so adorable!!
Flour is great-already have that.
Would like Petit Macarons, No Dairy eggs,etc
Hand Held Pies and Donuts.
LOVE TO BAKE. LOOKING FIR LOWER FAT RECIPES.
All of them! I would be happy baking from any of them…but I might be a bit partial to the WS Home baked comfort because I used to work at The Salty Tart :-)
I would love to bake from Flour first!
Definately “Handheld Pies”. Little individual pies would be perfect for outdoor family get-togethers this summer. Thanks for sponsoring the give-away!
Handheld Pies!! What an amazing photo… I’m salivating!!
Emily
I would make hand-Forged Doughnuts!!
Pioneer Woman!! Or maybe the handheld pies..yum. Or Ultimate Cookies? Challenge accepted.
Handheld pies. Large pies intimidate me, but maybe the I can pull off small ones.
Oh deary my, that post has not helped this cook book addict! I want them all, but the sugar one is my favourite!
I would absolutely love “Pie it forward” and “Flour”!!!
PLEASE PICK ME :D
us poor college students can’t afford cookbooks :( every time I want to make something i need to search the web and hope for the best.
