Ziemons, creator of the YouTube channel Jenny’s Mini Cooking Show, is ready to show adventurous bakers how to make tiny cakes, cookies, pies, and more in her first cookbook. The introduction explains why the recipes are scaled the way they are (some ingredients, like eggs, are difficult to reduce) and reassures the cook that tiny baking isn’t much different from regular baking. A list of tools is included, as well as tips on how to get started. The recipes use metric measurements, so a kitchen scale is an essential tool. Every recipe also lists the tools and materials needed for that treat, step-by-step instructions, and plenty of color photographs of the adorable finished baked good. The sweet treats include Unicorn Cupcakes, Bee Cake Pops, Monster Cakes, strawberry pies, brownie lollipops, salted-caramel bars, and more.
VERDICT Beginner bakers may feel intimated by the level of detail required to make these goodies, but experienced bakers will welcome the challenge of creating Ziemons’s fun treats.
