Two in One Desserts: Cookie Pies, Cupcake Shakes, and More Clever Concoctions

by Hayley Parker

Overview

Sweet treats that combine two or more classic desserts from the blogger who makes “even novice bakers feel like pros” (POPSUGAR)

Everyone loves cake with ice cream. The combination of textures and flavors, even temperature, adds up to much more than the sum of its parts. In her new book, blogger Hayley Parker takes this concept to new levels. Using cake and brownie mixes, ready-made doughs and crusts, and other make-it-simple shortcuts, Parker comes up with the most deviously delicious desserts imaginable, including:

• Strawberry Shortcake Bars
• Creme Brûlée Pie
• Banana Split Cupcakes
• Red Velvet Cake Shakes

Call them mash-ups or mix-ins, hybrid desserts or sugar hacks, these desserts go above and beyond. Out of the Box, indeed!

Editorial Reviews

06/15/2017
Self-taught cook Parker (Out of the Box Desserts) gleefully disregards traditional dessert categories in this inventive collection of sweet mash-ups. Included are 100 recipes such as fruity cereal no-bake cheesecake, French silk pie brownies, cannoli cupcakes, and peanut butter and jelly tiramisu that rely heavily on boxed baking mixes, breakfast cereals, and other packaged foods. Like Jackie Alpers's Sprinkles! and Jessie Oleson's CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life, this title can seem a little silly, but it's a lot of fun. VERDICT Parker's second baking book will interest many readers, especially those with children. From-scratch formalists may prefer Irvin Lin's Marbled, Swirled, and Layered, which has similarly creative recipes and more polished photography.
