You can see this is a lady that knows her stuff. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly. In today's market where everything is about doing something quickly, this is about doing something properly. I have learnt more from this book than 50 others. If you want to make little babycakes. you have to own it.

Book covered the subject indicated in the index section on my preview before placing the order. However, I still cannot find in this book or any others purchased or reviewed a receipe for my grand-mother's Italian "cookies" or pastry she always prepared for her grandchildren during the Christmas Holidays. I know that it contained figs, currants, raisons and either pecans or walnuts all ground-up and inserted into a pastry shell like ravioli or cannoli before baked, then frosted. I and my sisters all remember eating the pastry but no one could find a receipe for this in all her kitchen belongs after she passed away. She always called it "cuccithaida"....but we guessed on the spelling of that Italian name she called that "cookie" when she served them. We are all Italian-Americans born and raised in the U.S., but our father did not know anything about his mother's cooking; just liked to eat the sweets too!
Maybe someone in Amazon can locate this better than me. All of my ancestry came from Sicily when they immigrated to the US back in the early 1900s.
Highly recommended! January 9, 2007

This is one of my favorite dessert books! The desserts not only look beautiful but are always the first to be "gobbled" up by my family and friends!
Recipes are instructional and easy to follow making the most intimidating tasks easy and practically effortless. I wish that it had a few more photographs, but it does have photos of the more popular dishes.
I have found myself purchasing this book over and over for friends and family who enjoy baking. If you enjoy baking desserts, this book is a must for your kitchen!

I bought this book because I love making miniature foods. My major problem with this book is that on the inside there are only a few color photos and the rest of the book is pretty dull to look at. The recipes seem okay but just the dull look of the pages make it pretty hard to get inspired to try any of these recipes. I recommend just finding it at a library and not spending any money on it. I have a book called "Finger Food" by Katharine Gasparini. It has more savory recipes but there is a section for sweets. This book is also fully photographed.
Photos!! Photos!! Photos!!! May 9, 2006

The book is OK, the recipes seem to be good (I haven't tried any yet), but there's a lack of photographs...
I think they are very important for cook books!!
I have a lot of experience in the kitchen, even so it's hard to picture something in your mind if you have never seen it before... lol
Since the cakes, cookies and so on are miniatures, it would be a lot easier to make them knowing the final result (the image, I mean).
