The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts

Here comes the most scrumptious collection of delectable desserts ever from the Good Housekeeping kitchens. They bring you more than 200 mouthwatering cakes, cookies, and sweets so good you’ll want to make every one. As always, the chefs at Good Housekeeping triple-test each recipe, so you know they will be delicious and fail-safe. In addition, the Good Housekeeping pros offer useful preparation tips on everything from assembling cake layers to testing for doneness. Top off a meal with an absolutely irresistible rich chocolate cake with pink sugar roses. Don’t tell anyone how simple it is to whip up the Florentine Cream Cake known as Zucotto—just enjoy the applause. Want a festive holiday treat? White Chocolate and Cranberry Trifle will do the trick; prepare it in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for easy entertaining. (There are tips for decorating the trifle top, too.) Plus: individual chocolate soufflés, crème caramel, strawberry-orange charlotte, apple turnovers, and other temptations.
