The book is a right along the line as a classic baking book filled with hundreds of recipes of every body's favorites. This is the kind of book that references all the basic and classic American standards but often with a little spin to it (like an orange flavored cream cheese frosted carrot cake). Fans of the bakery are able to make some of their bestsellers right in their house at the spur of the moment and others like me can rely on a thoroughly written book for all the things that make a bakery a success. Out of the four recipes I have tried so far, (Blueberry Muffins, Lemon bars, Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Pie, Carrot Cake) all turned out perfect and delicious and there are plenty more I am dying to try like the cashew bar that Jennifer recently posted about.
For the sake of doing a true to the author's work review, I baked the recipes as written and everything not only turned out delicious but I never once had to scratch my head saying "not sure I would have given the instructions like that, but eh..." I liked the book on so many different levels. If you are a novice baker, this is definitely the book to get to get you started in the kitchen, if you are a seasoned baker you will certainly enjoy revisiting the classics as well as childhood favorites. Each chapter is chock full of life and love for sugar, butter and flour!
How does Sweet Potato Bread With Cinnamon Rum Glaze sound from the chapter "Dessert for breakfast"? It also has some terrific recipes for muffins, quick breads, waffles and more. "After School Snacks" has been thoroughly studied by me husband bookmarking Snickerdoodles and Chestnut Honey Madeleines among the dozens of brownies, cookies and bars. I have been studying the chapter "It's Somebody's Birthday" closely lately as we have a few family members coming up with serious celebrating time and the Fluffy Coconut Cake With Passion Fruit Filling is high on my priority list! I can't wait for B 's birthday to make the Chocolate Malted Layer Cake!
If you have read this blog for a while now, you know of my produce guy Sunny who seems to download all his surplus fruits into my cart!
I found my happiness in "What Will We Do With All This Fruit" making the Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Pie (recipe next week) and I can't wait to try her Sour Cherry Pie With Pistachio Crumble. Now the recipe that really made it for us was the Carrot Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting in the chapter entitled "Sunday Supper Grand Finale". I love carrot cakes that are simple in ingredients and yet very moist. We are not big fan of pineapples in ours, and B. has an aversion for raisins so it was quite a delight to make Melissa's version that excludes both but remains delicately moist and the frosting really gave the cake another dimension. What about a Fallen Chocolate Souffle Cake or a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie? I know! I can't stop!! To end things on a strong sugar high, the final chapter is devoted to "Favorite Gifts" like Butter Toffee Crunch, Earl Grey Truffles, Peanut Praline, just to name a few!

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 Tb plus 1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 stick butter, melted
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 Tb granulated sugar for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin pan with muffin liners, coat with cooking spray.
In a large blow, whisk together the flour, baking powder granulated sugar and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream and milk until combined.
Add the zest to the flour mixture and with your hands, gently rub the mixture together, releasing the oils and breaking up the bits. Add the fresh fruit and gently toss with your fingers to combine. Make a well in the center of the bowl. Pour the butter mixture into the center of the well and using a spatula, gently pull the flour mixture into the center of the well until just combined.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each until 3/4s of the way up. Bake 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sugar and let cool on a wire rack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carrot Cake With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:
For the cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ Tb ground cinnamon
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 pound carrots, grated medium fine
¾ cup chopped walnuts
For the frosting:
12 oz cream cheese softened
2 1/ 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Zest of 1 orange
2 sticks butter, softened
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour two 8x2-inch round cake pans. Line each pan with an 8-inch round piece of parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment, beat the eggs at high speed until light and frothy, about one minute. Decrease the speed to medium and add the oil, sugar and salt and mix just until combines. Decrease the speed to low and add the flour mixture until jut combined. Using a spatula, fold in the carrots and walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans one against the other to level the top and eliminate air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before turning the layers out onto the rack. Cool completely before frosting.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sugar and zest. Start on low speed and then increase to medium high speed and beat until smooth. Add the butter and mix on medium speed until just fluffy and smotth, about 45 seconds. Add the vanilla and mix until just combined. Do not overbeat.
To assemble:
Use the frosting as both the filling and the frosting so divide some evenly between both layer and use the remaining to cover the sides and top.
I made 4 small ones (4-inch round) and use the frosting just in between the layer and also to cover them all. I split each layer in half so I had a total of four which is to me a little nicer on the eye.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 275 Newer› Newest»Hi! I don't know how I ended up being first to comment, but here I am. This book sounds fabulous! So does that carrot cake. I too am not a fan of the pineapple and raisins, so this sounds like the recipe for me! Thanks for a lovely review.
Hi :-) That Sweet Potato Bread sounds amazing! I'm all about dessert for breakfast. Thanks for the scrumptious-looking post. Can't wait for the Lemon Blueberry Pie recipe, that has to be one of my favorite combinations~
It sounds like a terrific book. But I sort of want to know... when are YOU writing a cookbook? Because given how often I've hit your blog for baking recipes (my kids love your chocolate madeleines), that would be a cookbook I would buy.
I am rather intrigued by the Earl Grey Truffles. The Sweet Potato Bread also looks like it might be rather delicious. Sounds like a trip to amazon may be in order!!!
The more I hear about this book the hungrier I get. The muffins are just lovely and I can't wait to get my hands on those fruit recipes! Thanks for the review!
Pineapple and carrot are such a good combination, this looks gorgeous, wonder is the book available in Ireland?
Not sure where I got pineapple from, but you know what I mean.................oranges sound great too ;-)
Oh! Pick me!!! That carrot cake looks amazing!
Oooh. I want one! Pleeeeease?
Oh, please, random number generator, pick me! Yummy!
Hmmmm... I am dreaming of orage carrot cake, coconut cake with maracujá filling...
Please, please, please. This book has been in my Amazon wish list for far too long.
Dessert for breakfast? I'm sold!
lemon + blueberry + buttermilk + pie??? holy cow, count me in!
I've been looking for a good carrot cake recipe, I can't wait to try this one. By the way, I tried your mini tarts with cream cheese topping and they came out divine! One of my favorite recipes. Thank you so much for this one! I hope to get this book, as my Amazon Book list is in the 300 dollar range at this point. :)
Oooh! Ooooh! Oooooh! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
::waving hand frantically::
Can't wait to read the recipes...
Carrot cake is a food group in our house. Makes a great breakfast! The book looks fabulous.
Oh my god, blueberry muffins? Carrot Cake? PIE?! I'm drooling just from that cover shot!
Well, it all sounds and most of all looks promising!
If luck isn't on my side, I'll have to go and by this book...
Mmm... these recipes sound amazing! Cant wait to try them...Post more soon!!
How did the book do as far as pictures go? I MUST have fabulous pictures in my cookbooks! (anybody else?) That's one of the reasons I love your blog, fantastic pics! I wish I had the camera skills....
and that cookbook. ;)
"What will we do with all this fruit" - I love it!!
OK, once again you and I are going to be scary "together" because I had BREAKFAST here yesterday while I was in Brooklyn for a meeting in Park Slope. I snagged a pastry for the train ride back to the office and I don't mind saying the people around me were staring at my treat with envy.
With my luck the random number generator will just pass me without even giving me a random number. LOL At least I am still trying :-p
That carrot cake looks fantastic, but it's the sound of the earl grey truffles and fallen chocolate souffle cake that catch my attention! Gorgeous ^__^
That book sounds wonderful - even just the idea of "dessert for breakfast" has my mouth watering!
Yay for carrot cake! That book sounds awesome!
All your stuff looks absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious! This new book looks amazing, I'd love to have my own copy!
I cannot wait to check out this book! It sounds so good! That is exactly how we like our carrot cake, too! :)
I'm a Melissa and I bake...so I must have this book. :)
Ooo another delicious baking book. I'd love to win a copy. :) The muffins and carrot cake look yummy!
I have a freezer full of sour cherries. So, therefore, I clearly need this book. Hear that, random number generator!
The carrot cake looks yumjmy!
Oops, I was comment #28, but forgot to put my name before...
I'd love to see a comparison between the SM carrot cake and the Silver Palate recipe, which is the reigning champ in my house. Come to think of it, a carrot cake bake-off sounds kind of a great...hmmm.
PS Random Number Generator, I love you!
I just found your blog yesterday and ironically enough, I was looking for a carrot cake recipe! So yay!!!
P.S. Pick me!! Pick me!!! Hehe!
That carrot cake looks ridiculously good.
Thanks for such a lovely cookbook review. I really hope you pick me, but if you don't I'll probably go buy the cookbook anyway.
The blueberry muffins sound awesome as does the carrot cake. I am definitely trying these. I would love a copy of the book. Looks like a really good one.
darn...I already have this book. But I have not tried anything from it yet. I shall try the carrot cake.
Your pictures look fantastic, congratulation for this so nice blog! Not always to read in English but anyway, I should try ;-) cheers
Both the sweet potato bread and the sour cherry pie sound delicious! What a lovely book.
-Jaya
Everything sounds delicious! Thanks for highlighting this book - it's gone on the wishlist...
Gee pers, you really poured it on with this one. I've been looking at buttermilk pie recipes for years and wanted to do one for Alanna's pi day but ran out of time for it.
Sweet Potato Bread With Cinnamon Rum Glaze - yes I'm sure I could manage that.
The carrot cake - I don't like raisins or pineapple in mine!
And your list just goes on and just keeps sounding better & better.
I make Carrot Cake every year for Easter. I am definitely going to try this version this year.
Kate
YUM!
OH please. I hope the random generator picks me. I'm hooked just by the recipe titles you reeled off.
Must have the carrot cake.
The recipes from the book sound great and can't wait to try out the carrot cake, my daughter's favorite.
The muffins and carrot cake look so good, I will have to bake them!
Can't wait to check out the recipe book.

Hi- this is Melissa Murphy, the author, and I have to say, this is the nicest thing that has ever happened to me. I am over the moon happy, breathlessly so, and excited that you all have said such wonderful things. I am so proud of the fact that the recipes "tartlette" has tested came out as beautiful as they did. I tested them so many times to be sure that they would. It makes me cry when I make a new recipe and it doesn't work because of the way it's written. So so so happy. Oh, also, there are 2 recipes that would be great for St. Patty's- the Guiness Gingerbread ( very moist and spicy, delicious, and I also included my favorite recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Thank you, Thank you!
Hi,
I'm a regular reader of your blog but have never commented on any of the posts. The giveaway was too good to pass up, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the random number generator likes me! Keep on posting yummy goodness with gorgeous pics!
Oooh, this book looks really good. I covet books as a matter of course but cookbooks are becoming my special vice, they're useful which makes that that much easier to justify as opposed to fiction!
What a great position to be in, get given a book, cook, eat and then make other people happy by giving them the opportunity to do the same, WOW, you have the best job in the world, that is one job I would love to have!! Thanks for the chance to win a book!! Vida x
Muffins? Carrot Cake? DESSERT FOR BREAKFAST?!! How could I possibly pass this up? Oh, Random Number Generator, pick me, please!!
The book sounds wonderful! Thanks for the contest. =)
Carrot cake is my absolute FAVORITE and this looks so good! The book sounds great. Thanks for the contest :)
I can't wait to try the Irish Soda Bread recipe. The Carrot cake looks amazing! I'm a HUGE fan of anything carrot-y.
Thanks so much for the contest and for sharing these two great recipes with us!
Both the muffins and carrot cake look awesome! I'd have a little of both, please ;-P!
I'm crossing my fingers! Getting a copy of that book would be great...
Cheers,
Rosa
That "Sweet Potato Bread With Cinnamon Rum Glaze" does sound really good. The carrot cake looks good too.

This is the second review I read of this cookbook and it looks really good. Sign me up!
I love sweet melissa's!!! I used to live around the corner from there and go every morning. I'd LOVE to be able to make everything i used to get!
Sounds like a great book for a novice baker to have in her collection!
Your blog is inspiring me to get in the kitchen. I think I'll try the vanilla vanilla cupcakes, but that carrot cake does look YUM!
Oh! I'm just joining up with Daring Bakers for April, and I'd absolutely love to have a nice sweet book to help get me started!!
Emily Lauren
Sweet Potato Bread? A culmination of all things yeasty and good 0_0 I'd love to win a copy!

I've tried "almost" every blueberry muffin recipe on the planet...and this one will be next. Hmmmm...I suppose I should start my own blog~someplace to store all my feminine wiles :)
BTW ...if "Veron" wins [tx to the random number generator] ...generate their copy to moi! Merci~

I love the idea of the cream cheese and orange icing! i'd love to have the book!!! :)
There is nothing better than desserts that you can pretend have healthy aspects.
Well I must say, I'm going to try the blueberry muffins. They look good and I have some frozen from the summer. Of course winning the book....well what can I say.
Jane
The carrot cake looks lovely!
Je voudrais cette livre (non?)
hehe
wowser, those look amazing! i would love a copy ... kudos on the adorable carrot decorations on the carrot cake!
I just got done making the Chestnut Honey Madelienes this morning...you should so make those...they are awesome.
Sounds like a wonderful cookbook, especially when your renditions of the recipes look so amazing. No need to enter me into the contest though, I would much rather someone else win it. :)
It all looks scrumptious...And what a neat chapter layout!
You've got me craving carrot cake, and orange frosting is a great idea!
Please pick me, random number generator. I need help when it comes to desserts...that's why I'm CONSTANTLY checking in on Tartlette's site. ;)
I would love to have the book and cant get enough of your blog!
I'm in line, too! Love your blog--I read it all the time.
The muffins and cake look amazing. Both would not last long in my house.
I made blueberry muffins today... and they look like crap next to the Sweet Melissa recipe. Eh, well. Better luck to me next time, maybe.
I have some blueberries in my freezer that are about to find life outside of the freezer and into that recipe.
Now I have a question, if Melissa the author wins, will you actually give her her own book? Hee hehe just teasing.
I just love your blog. I am addicted to adoring your sweets. So calorie free!
I love your blog! It's calorie-free reading......until I splurge on your recipes! Thank you for sharing them with us.
How could I resist a giveaway of a book that sounds this fantastic -- especially when my "adopt-a-blogger" parent is giving it away!
I'm in :)
Hooray - I've been looking for the perfect carrot cake recipe. I can't wait to try it (and win one of the full cookbooks as well!)
My Hubster would love cashew bars.
Pick Me! Pick Me! Pick Me!
Ooh. Now i want carrot cake more than anything else for breakfast this morning.
oh wow, the petit carrot cake looks so cute! is the book mainly focused on typical american sweet treats? the "after school snacks" section sounds really appealing to me, even though i've never really eaten those things as afternoon snacks :P.

Please count me in! I would love to try some of these.
Yummy!!

What a great cookbook. I'm going to make those blueberry muffins soon! All the recipes sound wonderful!
That carrot cake looks like the be-all, end-all of carrot cakes. May I have the baking book? Please?
Both the muffins and the cake look delicious. To me it doesn't matter if you're a novice or a seasoned baker - easy recipes make for less chaos and a more predictable final product. I love both of these.

That book sounds very interesting to me. Pick me!
Hello random number generator, it's my turn!
Oh I want to make what you just made, along with the cashew bars too! I'm closing my eyes now, crossing my fingers and wishing, hoping, wishing, hoping....
No, it's my turn! I hope!
Hi Helene,
The pile of recipes from your blog just keeps growing and growing. I thought I had found the perfect carrot cake thanks to Dorie Greenspan but I am gonna try the one you posted here, you can never have enough carrot cake recipes.
Love and regards :)
That carrot cake looks SO moist. I'm tempted to make it for Easter. I like carrot cake with pineapple and raisins, but I'm not opposed to it without. I bet it was easier to slice. I think this carrot cake would please more people.
The blueberry muffins look nice, also. Maybe I could use up one of my Meyers with this recipe.
Dear Random Number Generator God,
Please pick me. If you do, I promise to make Melissa's Carrot Cake and share it with you. :)
Great Blueberry muffin recipie, thanks for sharing.
Martina
The recipe for carrot cake sounds delicious. I really need to try and make that sometime soon...

Wow - quite a response to the giveaway! And I was attracted by the muffins in the first place. You do a great job of convincing me this book has a place on my shelf.
Thanks for sharing some of the recipes you made --- i'll toss my hat in the ring for one of those books! :)

--Peter--
I love your blog. The book sounds wonderful.
I've never tried muffins with heavy cream - definitely worth a shot! Thanks for the review and recipes.
Got any recipe in the book that has sweet potato? Thanks!
Hey Girl, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, and I recently started a blog of my own. I added a link to your page, and I was just making sure it was fine with you.
Thanks!
omg, food and prizes! your blog just keeps getting better and better. that carrot cake looks uh-mazing!!!
The carrot cake looks divine!! I will defiently be looking into this book even if I am not one of the lucky winners
For those of you who would like to buy the book, you can go to my website, www.sweetmelissapatisserie.com, click on the book, and you have a choice of links to choose from.. Thank you again for your support- gotta go- making a LOT of irish soda bread tomorrow! p.s- I mentioned some recipes to try, and I have a hard time choosing favorites- but if you have the book, you MUST try the chocolate espresso cheesecake. It is- umm- insanely good. It's a hide in the closet and eat it all kind of delicious. The texture is unlike anything I've ever had. It really might just be my favorite thing.
Life is short - eat dessert first! And this is just more proof of why you should eat dessert first.
whoops! I'm late for the book! I just love to eat carrot cake. I thought it was a chocolate version. I was wondering what you think of chocolate carrot cake. Lucky 5 people to get the book! Congrats to everyone who get it!
Ack! I almost missed it because of a busy weekend and no blog reading.
I want the recipe for the front cover recipe - that looks amazingly like something I would enjoy.
WOW - that cookbook sounds awesome!!
Thanks :)
