Bit by the baking bug
Buy. This. Book.Buy two in case your first copy is stolen or lost or damaged by drooling on it.I cook. I don’t bake. Well, that is before I found Lindsay’s blog and book. I needed a festive Christmas cookie recipe for a party and happened upon Lindsay’s Life Love Sugar blog online. I made the White Chocolate Cranberry cookies and Snickerdoodles (recipes found online—not in book) and they were an instant crowd pleaser. With two notches in my baking belt I tried another online recipe....then another. Buying the book was a natural and tasty progression for this new-to-baking baker.The Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is incredible as is the Key Lime Cheesecake and pie and Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting. I am NOT a chocolate cake kinda gal but I’ve been converted after using her recipe.Hoping for book # 2!!!

I don't know how anyone could give this book less than 5 stars. I would give it a million stars if I could. I have been following Lindsay'a blog for a couple years now. So far, all the recipes I made from her blog have been awesome. Her ice box cakes are off the chain. Sooooo easy and no bake. The pictures in this book are simply georgeous. I personally like cookbooks with lots of pictures so I know what the final product looks like. There is a picture with every single recipe in her book. I'm not a beginner baker. In fact, I have been baking for 40 years. This is a cookbook for all levels of bakers. Her recipes are on point. We all like to tweak recipes to make it fit our taste. With Lindsay's, I never have to. It's ALWAYS on point. Well done, Lindsay ! You have done an awesome job. Can't wait to make some of these sweet treats ! ❤️🍰🎂🍪

We just used Lindsay's recipes to bake two birthday cakes, and they were fantastic! The recipes were easy to understand, and her explanations for how to decorate were so clear and helpful. I had never made a cheesecake before, but it turned out deliciously, thanks to her helpful tips.

The other thing I love about this cookbook is the gorgeous photos. They are inspiring to view.

For those with kids, this cookbook is a surprising hit, too. My crew loves looking through it, and the 10 y.o. is the one who did the decorating, following Lindsay's great instructions.

We can't wait to make more items from the book and her blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Purchase

I have a bit of a sweet crush on Lindsay. Her blog Life Love Sugar is totally stalk-worthy. Okay, creepiness aside, she really is a very talented baker. She explains everything in detail and gives you an idea of how long the dessert will stay fresh. Her recipes are easy to follow and they turn out beautifully. Some of the desserts are a little ingredient pricey but not all of them. I'm super glad I bought this book. People think I'm a very talented baker but the truth is it's people like Lindsay Conchar who make me look good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, easy-to-follow recipes but unbearably sweet icing
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
I wanted to wait until I'd had this book for a while and was able to use several recipes. I think this book is beautifully written, easy to follow, and has some great recipes. I've recently had to go gluten free and was easily able to adapt each recipe. All of the cakes have been delicious, with the chocolat e mousse brownie cake and tiramisu cake being the fan favorites.

My only complaint about this book is that the icings are unbearably sweet. For example, on the cinnamon roll cake I cut out the glaze icing and made it a naked cake instead of a fully iced cake, and still people had a hard time eating a whole piece. It was just so sweet it hurt your stomach. I've ended up making the majority of the cakes naked in order to cut down on the icing, but you can still tell the icing is too sweet.

Overall, the cakes themselves are fantastic and, if you know what you're doing, you can reduce the amount of icing you use, but if you're the type who prefers smooth, buttery icing over super sweet, just be aware this book isn't the best for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Recipes Make This Cookbook to Die For
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017

I admit it I have a cookbook hoard in my house but if you read my reviews you will note on only review cookbooks I actually purchase.
This purchase was for 3 recipes:
I purchased this cookbook for the recipe on the cover and it was indeed worth it. The chocolate drapes down the side of the cake just like the photo. Truly a chocolate layer that is not dry.
The other two unbelievable recipes:
2. Simple chocolate mousse cake: moist
3. Key lime cupcakes - nice tang but not lip puckering and sweet without being cloying.
