Here are the hands-down temptingest--and surprisingly easy-to-make--150 cakes, cookies, pies, puddings, and custards ever assembled. It's the full menu of the nationally celebrated Boston-based Rosie's Bakery, presented by a trusted, knowledgeable, easy-going guide whose goal is to demystify baking. Winner of a 1991 IACP/Julia Child Cookbook Award. Illustrations throughout.

Readers smitten with the rich stuff of Boston's Rosie's Bakery will be wooed by proprietor Rosenberg's assorted recipes and personal revelations. The fixings for calorie-laden cold fudge sundae cake, chocolate fruitcake and brownie cheesecake are interspersed with well-organized information on equipment, methods, ingredients and decorating tips. Many readers will be amused when Rosenberg bares her sweet-toothed soul, telling how she devised her "Yin and Yang of calorie consciousness": while living on "a strict diet of brown bread, cheese, fruit, nuts,sic and vegetables," she would think nothing of polishing "the meal off with a fat slab of cheesecake." But despite a smattering of recipes with truly novel twists (e.g., mustard gingerbread), much here will be found in other cookbooks. Still, "Rosie" is a redoubtably charming alter ego, and while not all of Rosenberg's favorites are originals, the writing is worth the tariff. Illustrated. Author tour; BOMC Home Style and Better Homes & Gardens Book Club selections.

Rosenberg is the owner of a Boston bakery that has been popular since it opened in the mid-1970s--not surprisingly, since her desserts are rich, homey, and delicious. Many are the type to evoke blissful childhood memories: Chocolate Snowball Cake, Pecan Crunchies, Extra Extra Fudgy Brownies. Unpretentious and unintimidating, this book should appeal to any home baker. For most collections.
