Page Street Publishing Blooms and Baking: Add Aromatic, Floral Flavors to Cakes, Cookies and More

I bought this cookbook when it came out a couple years ago. I first found Amy on pinterest, and the cake I made from one of her recipes was a huge hit. I've made a few of her recipes from this book (some of them multiple times) and it's really elevated my baking abilities. I never understood baking with flowers but now I'm completely hooked, and Amy's instructions are always very clear. Her little introduction paragraphs for each recipe are filled with lovely stories as well, and I've enjoyed reading them. :)

Blooms and Baking is one of the most beautiful and unique cookbooks I own! Filled to the brim with stunning photography, innovative recipes, and so many step by step pictures, the entire book is a dream. From layered cakes and cream puffs, to slice and bake cookies and candied petals, there's something here for every kind of baker. Amy walks you through floral piping tutorials, as well as gives suggestions on how to decorate with different kinds of flowers. I've already made the rose shortbread (melt in your mouth heaven!), cherry blossom sables (so easy!), and wreath cookies (these are a show stopper), and cannot wait to bake my way through this book!

The book itself is beautiful, and the desserts you can make are even prettier. I really love floral flavors, so I add even more when I can. Highly recommend, and it would make a great gift too.

Thank you Amy - my first purchase of a bakebook! I am super happy with how beautiful this book is. Every page is written in great detail, photos were taken with love and it's a great addition to add to my baking knowledge and my non-existent book shelf of cooking books I am hoping to collect. Every recipe is detailed, and teaches you step by step on how to recreate these amazing cookies, cakes etc. This makes a great gift to someone else or to treat yourself <3!

Each of the recipes I have tried has had easy to follow steps and been very accessible to a novice baker. That being said, they also have twists and concepts that I never would have thought of, and go far beyond the basic recipes you would find online. My only issue has been pacing myself and savouring the treats I've made as they're too good to save and I end up eating them all right away!
