For all of you adventurous bakers, this is what you need. This awesome step-by-step, fully illustrated book has everything in it to teach you how to make the prettiest cakes, cupcakes, cake pops and more. 
It shows you what tools you will need, and exactly how to implement them. I can't wait to start practicing with some of these cake tools, and make prettier cakes. For now, I went with one of the non-cake recipes. Yup, you read right. And I actually made two.
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bark


Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut, Raisin Bark
I love bark, had never made my own before and was blown away by how easy it is, never mind how tasty too! I was also surprised by some of the recipes that were not cake. I was surprised they were even in the book. I'm glad though, the bark turned out amazeballs and I know it will be something I make a lot of. 
I can't wait to try a granola bar recipe, and as I said earlier, some of the cake decorating with the tools, like pretty edging. I look forward to learning how to do that.

Be sure to check this book out or one of the other great books in the boutique. Get one for your mom to enjoy today, or get one as a treat to yourself if you are a cookbook-loving mom!

Scooby Doo: The Sword And The Scoob

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
