Customer Reviews

My Go-To Baking Book. . .

There are several recipes that have become family standards. We love the blueberry buckle, the Texas sheet cake, Steve's Brownies & the Oatmeal Cookies. I even made the triple layer chocolate rasberry romance cake for a special event and earned rave reviews. All of the instructions are very detailed, yet allow for variation to suit personal taste. I liked the cookbook so much that I purchased another by the same author.

EVERYONE NEEDS THIS BOOK!

I can't say enough about this book. Each recipe reminds you of the baked goods you had as a child when family got together. They are all easy to make and come out fabulous. I own many baking books but this is the best one! Try the Swedish Almond Butter Cake it is amazing.

Great recipes, great results~

As I flipped through this book, the recipes sounded yummy! I have tried a few and each has been better than the one I just made! The oatmeal cookies are outstanding! I will keep trying more out!

WOW!

If there was ever a cookbook to get you in the kitchen this one is it! The first recipe I tried was Gladys Martin's Sour Cream Coffee Cake. It alone is worth buying the book. I own many other baking books but I can already tell this will be the first one I reach for! If there were more stars to rate this book-I would have used them all.

yummy , easy to follow and reliable desserts.

The book is written in an easy to follow style and the desserts come out perfect every time. There is also a chapter on bake sales. (This book brings back happy childhood memories.) Every parent should have a copy. It will become cherished for generations
