Baked New frontiers in baking

Lewis and Poliafito left their advertising careers to open Baked, a small bakery/cafe in the Brooklyn, NY, Red Hook district, in 2005. After a slightly rocky beginning, their delicious treats began attracting national media attention--their brownies appeared in O magazine, and they baked their Sweet and Salty Cake on the Martha Stewart Show--and things haven't slowed down since. Their recipes, many of them traditional favorites with a twist, range from Milk Chocolate Malt Ball Cake to Butterscotch Pudding Tarts. The authors have a nice style, and whimsical drawings and full-page color photos add to the book's appeal. For all baking collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
