Butter Baked Goods: Nostalgic Recipes From a Little Neighborhood Bakery Description
Butter Baked Goods is a gorgeously illustrated cookbook, packed full of delicious recipes for irresistible baking that you will want to make, time and time again. These are recipes for the classics, rich in the nostalgic flavors of your childhood: from Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, Cinny Buns and S'mores; to Classic Chocolate Cake, Lemon Meringue Cupcakes and Good Ol' Apple Pie.
Butter began as a tiny bakery in Vancouver, opened and operated by Rosie Daykin, a passionate home baker since she was six years old. The bakery is a pink- and pistachio-colored slice of heaven; its counters are piled high with glass cases and cake stands, filled with sugary treats. But word soon got out (the baking was too good to keep quiet!) and Butter is now famous across North America for being the home of the very best gourmet marshmallow. Butter's marshmallows are now stocked in over 300 (and counting) stores across Canada and the US. The recipe for Rosie's famous marshmallows is just one, of 101, tucked into the pages of this beautiful book.
Every recipe in Butter Baked Goods has simple, step-by-step instructions, and is written in an accessible and easy-to-follow style, so that everyone can create Butter's delectable treats--from grandmothers who have been baking all their lives, to teenagers making their very first cupcakes. Rosie's baking is not about trickery, flamboyance or hard-to-find ingredients, but about great-tasting, homemade treats to celebrate life's milestones: birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, baby showers, bridal showers--or just a gloomy, rainy afternoon when you need a little pick-me-up.

I seem to have had a run of bad luck over the last few months with pre-ordered cookbooks. There is never a Look Inside and usually no reviews either, so you have to go by instinct. The last three or four in a row that I've ordered have not measured up - to the point I vowed I would never preorder another book. Luckily, I forgot about Butter Baked Goods: Nostalgic Recipes From a Little Neighborhood Bakery. My copy arrived about a week ago. Since then I've read every word at least twice, gone over the recipes three times and even baked a few things. Let me tell you what's inside the cover and what I've found.
The book is very pretty, one of the nicest I've had in a bit, with gorgeous rose patterned end papers that match the wallpaper in author Rosie Daykin's Vancouver bakery. There is a full-page color photo for every recipe. The recipes are well laid out, with ingredients and any special equipment required listed in the left column of the page while directions appear in the right and nearly all take up just a single page. The book includes 99 recipes plus one page of variations on Daykin's marshmallow recipe and a recipe for "Six Minute Cake" - also known as Whacky Cake - that appears in her introduction. I did need to hunt up my reading glasses, mainly for the rose-pink type headings appear in.
The book is divided into 14 sections of interest, five that are preparatory material (an Introduction, The Pantry, Tools of the Trade, Methods to My Madness, Getting Ready to Bake). Nine chapters of recipes follow. I'll list each of those below along with the recipes that each includes and my comments.
