Review:

"I first heard about the elusive BabyCakes "Mounds" bars on a stick from a friend who said they were incredible. One day, I tasted them... Like heaven... I bought them for my crew at work on Bones and people came back for seconds and thirds...I even had them at my wedding. Now you don't have to wait to try them; you can make your own!"
--Emily Deschanel, actress

"Vegan or not, gluten-free or not, Erin McKenna's donuts are the best I've had in 20 years, without exception."
--Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything and The Food Matters Cookbook

"I am on a constant mission to find the best homemade, baked treats and desserts. BabyCakes's chocolate chip cookies are not only made with really great ingredients, but they taste better than any other chocolate chip cookie in the world. Don't feel guilty about having one, or two, or three...This book teaches you how to make them--and many other sweets!"
