I just received my copy yesterday. The excitement I felt when I saw it at my door when I came back from work! I started from the very first page, of course, and was mesmerized by how gorgeous it looks. I am looking forward to my first bake this weekend <3

Ashley, I was just like you - when Nancy Pappas, the artist who made the paintings, started sending me batches of her work, I was mesmerized by the images. I think they're so beautiful! Can't wait to hear about your bakes - xoD

I just finished reading the introduction and began reading through the next section about ingredients, pans, etc. I am relishing a slow read, but can't wait to get to the recipes! Congratulations, Dorie, and everyone who created this book. See you soon in Brooklyn!

I will be looking out for your Anytime Cakes cookbook in Toronto as I can't wait to buy it. I enjoyed reading and listening to the podcasts in this newsletter. I'm in total agreement that I prefer to bake simple cakes, ie one layer with or without frosting, these days. Your granddaughters are adorable and I am sure will be greatly touched by your dedication of cookbook to them when they are older. Safe travels on your book tour!
