The Sugar Cube

This covetable cookbook is a greatest-hits collection from Sugar Cube, a tiny pink food cart in Portland, Oregon, that is thronged daily by hungry hordes craving voluptuous sweets intensified with a spike of booze, a lick of sea salt, or a "whoop" of whipped cream. Sugar Cube founder and baker Kir Jensen left the fine-dining pastry track to sell her handmade treats on the street. Recipes for 50 of Kir's most enticing cupcakes, cookies, tarts, muffins, and sweets are made more irresistible (if possible!) by 32 deli­cious colour photographs. Sassy headnotes and illustrations that resemble vintage tat­toos liven up this singular boutique baking book.
