Easy Resource to Entertain Like A Pro! Must-Have!!
Want to host the most impressive birthday in town? Want to impress the other parents at your child's school for the bake sale? "Eat More Dessert" is the answer to your wishes.I personally can't wait for this book to reach the hands of everyone out there! Not only have I had the pleasure of eating many of her delicious treats throughout the years - I have had the opportunity to work with the author, and get a few lessons from her. My personal experience was this - When I met Jenny, I could not bake anything beyond a cupcake - In a very short time, now I can make a full dessert table that rivals professional bakers. Jenny is an everyday mom, just like many of you reading this review, with an extraordinary baking talent. She understands that not everyone has a natural flair for baking - She breaks down the steps - so I feel confident that ANYONE reading this book - can make these impressive looking treats. (and I'm not just writing this review b/c i've met the author - this book is the real deal! I have personally used it). Try this book - Trust Me - You won't be disappointed!-- Scout Masterson / The Guncles / GunclesOnline.com

Great ideas for Dessert tables and more!
I by luck stumbled across Jenny's blog and saw that she had a book coming out. I pre-ordered it in hopes it'd give me some new ideas. This book has TONS of ideas and recipes. The dessert tables are amazing to look at! She has 10 different themes with at least 10 recipes/ideas to go with each of them. While you may have seen some of the things, rose cakes and ruffle cakes, her presentation makes them unique with her own twist. Her recipes are simple, most start with a box cake mix and pudding, yet they look like you spent hours decorating them! The pictures are really inviting and will make you want to try them all! I really love that she uses buttercream on her cookies instead of royal icing. With that said, her buttercream does have shortening and margarine in it which I know can put some people off, but I honestly think it'll be worth a try. I'm not a shortening in my icing person, but I am going to try it because she makes it look that good. This is a good book to have whether or not you're a baker because anyone can get use from it and/or inspiration from it. It's definitely worth it!

If you want the most talked about dessert table... get THIS BOOK!!!
I just LOVE this book. I fell in love with the Sugar Cookies and Buttercream Frosting recipes. I've made them several times now and each time they are the hit of the party!!! Everyone asks for the recipe and how I made them. I've also tried the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and I have to say it is my favorite chocolate frosting ever!!I really appreciated the creativity in this book. Not just general rice krispie treats or cupcakes, but the creative ideas are like your favorite online bookmarks in your hand. The Bitty Banana Pudding Cups are PERFECT!!!! Every single page is detailed, perfected, and extraordinary to create the most amazing and talked about dessert table!!!The party tables are nothing short of AMAZING and very creative!! I've searched through it so many times now looking for inspiration for different events that come up. The book is well put together, easy to use and extremely thorough. I also really appreciate the author sharing a bit of her own life, and family in this book.

beautiful pictures galore
This dessert book is just what I needed--Easy to follow, full of ideas and last but not least, beautiful pictures galore. Jenny draws you in from the first pages of the book where she describes her cute little family and her love for baking. She then guides you through the various seasons with her stunning desserts and dessert tables, and as I mentioned before, lots of pictures! Jenny definitely has a knack for putting together delicious desserts and adorable dessert tables whether it be a vintage inspired party or a glamorous affair. Jenny has inspired me to continue baking and has got my creative juices flowing once again. If you are looking for ideas for a wedding, baby shower, adult or child's birthday party, then this the the book to for you. I'm looking forward to using many of Jenny's techniques and inspirations for a few parties of my own.

Incredible Dessert Cookbook!
Jenny Keller's book, Eat More Dessert: More than 100 Simple-to-Make & Fun-to-Eat Baked Goods, is such a fun and innovative how to cookbook. I love to plan parties and I have found myself running out of ideas as to how to decorate the dessert table and even find myself needing new recipes. This book has all of that. It is fun, creative and has oh so tasty recipes. Each page is full of ideas, and the easy step by step pictures makes it impossible to make a mistake. Jenny Keller throws great parties and now I can feel confident that I too can creative fabulous dessert tables and make great food. I would recommend this book to no only beginner bakers but to experienced bakers and all in between. This book will be a favorite among the Olin household.

This book has some beautiful ideas for party styling
This book has some beautiful ideas for party styling. Her baked goods are simple to recreate and anyone could execute them. My only issue with this book is that all of the cakes and cupcakes are made from a boxed mix; it is a great time saver and if you are preparing lots of desserts that can be helpful. Not to sound snotty, I just generally bake from scratch, and thought others should know what is in the book. Her cookies are her own scratch recipe. I have not tried them yet but they look yummy.Overall, this is a good reference for quick and easy party ideas.

Great Book for Entertaining/Baking Made Simple!
I have always loved entertaining and baking. However, I would get lost in the words of other cookbooks and feel overwhelmed right from the start, and give up. Not true in this case, this book held my attention right from the start. I truly feel like I can take these recipes and make the desserts shown in the book, and have them turn out absolutely delicious. Jenny gives you the basics right up front, she lets you know the core of what you will need, and builds the recipes up from there. Very helpful for the super beginner baker, like me. The table ideas are beautiful and she makes it easy to convert to any celebration. I only wish I had this book for my son’s First Birthday!

Disappointed!
Not what I was expecting. Recipes were poor using a lot of packet mixes. Not much information on the displays which is what I was hoping for.

Great ideas and beautiful photos!
Great ideas and beautiful photos. Practical ideas, easy recipes, and simple ways to take things like cakes, rice krispy squares and cake pops to the next level. Can’t wait to try the pirate themed desserts for my son’s birthday. Love this book!

Me encanta!
Depuis des mois je rêvais d'avoir ce boking et je suis très contente de mon achat!Le seul problème était la livraison il devait arriver en un journée et le facteur a dit que je n'étais pas chez (alors que j'y étais) et a laissé l'article deux jours après dans un point relais!
