Оглавление

I have a theory that baking is actually magic.

Think about it: It requires a rudimentary knowledge of potions, it casts a spell over everyone who smells, sees, or eats it; and most suspicious of all, bakers almost never wear pointy wizard hats. Why is that, if not to throw us off the scent?

If you’ve picked up this book, then odds are you like baking. And magic. And kittens wearing tiny hats, because who doesn’t like kittens in tiny hats? People who won’t like this book, that’s who.

(Just to be clear, there aren’t any kittens in tiny hats in this book [OR ARE THERE?], but there is unicorn poop, which is surprisingly more tasty.)

(Also to be clear, I haven’t eaten any kittens in tiny hats to compare their taste to unicorn poop, and it’s weird I have to clarify that.)

Maybe I should start again.

The first time I met Jenny was at a signing party for my book Cake Wrecks. She fed my entire audience of Canadians crap-shaped cupcakes, and they loved it. So much so, there was very nearly The Politest Scuffle In The World over the last cupcake. So when I heard Jenny was writing this book, I knew two things: 1) that it would hit the sweet spot in the Venn diagram of all things tasty, adorable, and delightfully geeky, and 2) there would probably be poop in it.

I was right, and that’s why you’re going to love this book. Because you need your baking to be a little more fun. A little more weird. A little more YOU.

So whether you’re into gaming or fantasy or explaining how Han made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, get ready to embark on the tastiest quest ever. Because hey, when it comes to baking? It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this book.

(I mean, go pay for it first. I am NOT advocating shoplifting. That would be a terrible foreword. It’s bad enough I’ve said “poop” this many times.)

(I said “poop” again. Crap. I mean shoot. Sorry. I’ll stop now.)
