  1. Recipes:

    **Sweet Potato Tart:**

    Tart shell (people really like this): [https://paperstreetparlour.com/how-to-make-mini-shortbread-tart-shells-tartlets/](https://paperstreetparlour.com/how-to-make-mini-shortbread-tart-shells-tartlets/)

    Sweet potato mixture: [https://ruthschris.net/recipes/sweet-potato-casserole-recipe/](https://ruthschris.net/recipes/sweet-potato-casserole-recipe/)

    Topped with burnt brown sugar meringue

    **Lebanese Cookie:**

    here is the tahini shortbread recipe: [https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018453-tahini-shortbread-cookies](https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018453-tahini-shortbread-cookies)

    for the pastry cream add a table spoon of rose water and a bunch of chopped pistachios to this pastry cream: [https://www.seriouseats.com/vanilla-pastry-cream-creme-patissiere](https://www.seriouseats.com/vanilla-pastry-cream-creme-patissiere)

    adjust to taste, very easy to alter after the cream is cooked

    **mocha bun:**

    Brioche: [https://www.chainbaker.com/no-knead-brioche/](https://www.chainbaker.com/no-knead-brioche/)

    Pastry cream: [https://www.seriouseats.com/vanilla-pastry-cream-creme-patissiere](https://www.seriouseats.com/vanilla-pastry-cream-creme-patissiere) I added a lot of instant coffee to it, probably 3 tablespoons, and then 1.5tbsp of cacao powder. Had to cook it longer to make it stiff enough not to run out of the crack.

    Feuilletine: [https://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2023/11/homemade-feuilletine.html](https://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2023/11/homemade-feuilletine.html) Make them super thin, thinner than you think

    **Moose Cups:**

    I messed these up honestly they weren’t very good, none of the components were as good as i had hoped. If i had to do it again, use tempered chocolate around a silicone mold ( i did not have one). Make a pate sable moose (maybe this: [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNq8Jzv0goM/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNq8Jzv0goM/?hl=en) ), and dust some freeze dried strawberry to the mold and add a couple table spoons to the chocolate base, then pour it in to the teddy bear mold.

    If there are any other recipes you want let me know (not the flapjack that one was not good)

    The first time you posted, I wanted to give it two thumbs up. The previous accidental post allowed me to achieve this goal. Seriously, you rock. I love the show and your book!

    I think I love your fiancée OP. My husband can’t draw a stick figure to save his life.

    Edited-can to can’t

  4. TheMoonbeam365

    This is incredible! They did an amazing job and should be proud of the results. I would absolutely buy a cook book like this.

  5. RiskyBiscuits150

    This is adorably sweet and wholesome! And your bakes look fantastic.

    Does your Fiancée do commissioned work 👀

  7. DeadBy420710

    You have given me an amazing date idea thank you

  8. DeadBy420710

    Do you have the apple pie unicorn , burnt honey cheesecake, recipes?

  9. PunsAndRuns

    This way, you have to make these desserts multiple times so he can make the pictures.
    Smart fiancée 👉🧠 more to eat for them.

  10. otter_worldly3

    Oh yum. Another idea added to the list!

  11. deviouscaterpillar

    Both the baked goods you made and your fiancée’s drawings are so cool! Do you know if she finalized these in Illustrator or are they all by hand?

  12. msanachronistic

    WOW!! So much talent between the two of you. Just delightful.

  13. No-Employee6948

    I’m obsessed, and want to do my recipes with graphics too

  14. Lady_Koopa

    Makes me think of The Great British Bake Off and the drawings of each competitor’s dessert before they make it. ❤️

  15. PlentyCow8258

    Love seeing actual art instead of AI slop 👏👏👏

  16. penaltylvl

    Wow, I knew exactly where this was going before even reading the title. He did a great job and you did too!

  17. The drawings are very nice but I want to eat every single one of those. And some of them are things I generally don’t like, like cheesecake. But all of them look amazing.
