    Wow, absolute goals. I just got my first standing mixer and felt so accomplished making cookies and cobbler, then I see this post! You’re a pro. Do you have any advice/or book recommendations for a beginner?

    But seriously, very beautiful stuff.

  8. How would you rate the cakes from Zoe bakes? I just got that book and wondering which cakes are worth making. Especially interested in Boston cream pie and Hot Chocolate cake
