Ah, the Magnolia Bakery! One day, I’ll stop by one of their storefronts in New York City and get some yummy treats! But until then, I can just make them at home for myself.
Which isn’t so bad, I guess. Then I can eat the entire batch….by myself — or with my loved ones, if they’re lucky!
Here are the links to the reviews of the all the recipes in The Magnolia Bakery Handbook.
This index only includes the main recipes in the book, not the recipes that are in the Base Recipes section or Variations (unless otherwise noted) on the main recipes.
