Synopsis:
50+ killer cakes, cookies, and candies for your exes and enemies. Dumped by your beefcake boyfriend? BFF steal your one-and-only? Lab partner a more-than-periodic no-show? Don’t take these battles online. (Seriously, don’t do that, okay?). Get out your heaviest rolling pins, sharpest cleavers, and most blistering torches, and kill your enemies and exes . . . with kindness. That’s right – bake that loser ex a pan of Go Fudge Yourself. Gift your former friend a You’re the Devil Cake. And give that annoying admirer a Donut Call Me Again. Let them taste your over-them happiness and see what comes next . . . Pastry chef and tattoo artist Heather Kim serves up sinfully delicious recipes and bittersweet advice.
Review:
While this cookbook is aimed at the teen crowd, coeds and adults may find this book just as humorous and yummy too! After all, we've ALL had bad break ups! And while we may not as adults Facebook stalk (right, who am I kidding, adults are WORSE than teens), having this cookbook might just curb all that energy into more productive pursuits, like learning to bake and share your goodies with the friends you CAN count on!
The pictures will make you WANT to run for the kitchen as they are SOOOOOO yummy and enticing, as you can see. I love how Heather takes the 'never before baked' lovelorn and walks them through knowing everything from bowls to use, to ingredients and why to use them, before starting the recipes. Additional info, like typical serving size (above) also helps to let the new baker know HOW many times to make the recipe, based on how much food therapy is needed, LOL! Altogether, it's a pretty decent cookbook, and I would recommend it for ALLL teens, as a great starting baking cookbook.
Add some fun kitchen tools, a funny notebook and pen, to the cookbook, and you've got a cute Christmas, or birthday present for your favorite teen. And while they may not need it right now, they probaby will soon, and then they really will appreciate your generosity!
