"Filled to the brim with recipes for the most splendidly beautiful cakes, cookies, breads, and tarts I think I've ever seen . . . a triumph!" -Ree Drummond, "The Pioneer Woman"

Incredible desserts with layers and swirls of flavor that are beautiful and delicious-inside and out When you marble, layer, and swirl doughs, batters, toppings, or frostings, good looks and good taste come together in one total package. Irvin Lin, creator of the popular blog Eat the Love, shows how these techniques open the door to inventive flavor combinations that look as fantastic as they taste.

Lin offers variations to suit any taste (more than 150 recipes total) plus baking and decorating tips throughout on topics like making your own all-natural food coloring, rolling up jelly roll-style cakes, and discovering the magic of browned butter. Readers (and eaters) are sure to ooh and ahh over every dazzling dessert at first glance-and then again at first bite.
