As comforting and appealing as a favorite armchair or a cozy robe,
warm-from-the-oven classic desserts make everyone feel good. Here
are more than 250 mouth-watering recipes that every home baker will
rely on when a homemade dessert is required. Whatever the occasion
might be, the perfect treat is described with clear instructions
that are easy to follow and guaranteed to yield delicious results.
These are the cakes that children request for their birthdays, the
whoopee pies and blondies that are the first things to go at bake
sales, the shortcake that celebrates strawberry season, and the
pies and cobblers that accompany the apple harvest. When a friend
who is sick with the flu needs cheering, a dense, not-too-sweet
gingerbread lifts the spirits. Rough week at work? Creamy, raisiny
rice pudding soothes jangled nerves. And when a child is going
through an I-hate-cake phase, surprise her with a frozen chocolate
mint ice cream cake.
With 40 cookie creations, 42 pretty pies, 36 fruity crisps and
cobblers, and puddings, meringues, squares, slumps, bombs, and
buckles galore, the possibilities for sweet satisfaction are
endless. Bakers will also find just-right recipes for the crusts,
frostings, toppings, and accompaniments that add so much to dessert
classics. Little-known food anecdotes and historical tidbits drawn
from three centuries of cookery books round out this addictive
dessert collection. It's just the thing for every baker.
