ALL ABOUT CAKE

In ALL ABOUT CAKE, Christina Tosi takes us into the creative cake universe of Milk Bar. Tosi's signatures are innovative variations on classic desserts: from simple birthday cakes that highlight that childhood vanilla flavor to creations such as a coconut cake with maraschino cherries and a frosting that tastes like pineapple upside down cake. In this book, she reveals exactly how she takes inspiration and transforms it, so readers can use these techniques to invent their own flavors, or they can mix and match Tosi's cakes, frostings, fillings, and texture bits.

From two-minute microwave mug cakes to gooey Crock-Pot cakes, from Bundts and pounds to their famous cake truffles and, of course, their signature naked layer cakes, this book will help bakers of all levels to indulge in flavors like classic Birthday Cake and true originals such as Pretzel Cake with Stout Ganache and Honey Frosting. Along the way, Tosi reveals the method behind her team's creativitythe formulas and matrices that will allow you to invent any cake flavor you can imagine.

In addition to running Milk Bar, CHRISTINA TOSI is also the 2012 recipient of the James Beard Rising Star Chef Award, the 2015 winner of the James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef Award, and is a judge on Fox's MasterChef and MasterChef Junior.
