review 1: Awesome came out great and even if you do not make the entire cake make the icing. It is soooooooooooo GOOD! I have never had molasses icing before it is one of those OMG moments. I have not cut the cake yet, it's for a baby shower so I decorated with baby feet on top, not covering the entire top so the cookie dough can show through and used the leftover cake (made crumbs) from evening it out to coat the bottom half. It looks great can't wait for the applause! LOL
review 2: I first discovered Heather Baird's blog a couple of years ago, and have been a loyal fan of her work. Her photography is testament that she is, in fact, an artist. Each recipe is a work of art. The color, the perfection, the food styling, the lighting-- I admire each recipe. Most times, I
... more savor looking at the pictures, but know that I most likely won't be making it. I say this, because she is such a Diva, in my eyes-- in a very good way. I bought Heather's book, because I wanted to take my time looking at each recipe. Yes, most of these can be found on her blog. However, there are bonuses in here. I enjoyed reading her baking commandments. As I savored each recipe and photograph, I began to feel a sense of confidence. Yes, I think I really can make some of these recipes! I have made her Cherry Vanilla Cake (that is not in this cookbook) and when I posted a question about it, she answered me back in quick fashion. So, maybe I should retract the "diva" description, because she is very down-to-earth and approachable...albeit via the internet. I digress. I have been procrastinating gathering the courage to make macarons. After reading Heather's recipe, and detailed photos and tips, I am going to take a deep breath and just do it. I would say that her recipes aren't for a baking "beginner". But, if you love to bake, and want to step it up a bit, this is the book to give you the confidence to try. For under $15.00, I'm going to gift a few of my fellow baking bloggers with this book. I think they'll enjoy it as much as I did. less
