Bakeland

the long version

"Come along on a journey to Bakeland, where nature and flavor combine. In this collection of delectable desserts inspired by nature through the seasons, Norwegian baker Marit Hovland takes a delightfully creative approach to making sweets, using flowers, leaves, seashells, trees, clouds, and snow to fuel her imagination. There are treats for every time of year: chocolate-filled bird's egg cookies for spring, a decadent summer lime cake blanketed in forget-me-nots, cinnamon macarons colored like fall apples, and cupcakes topped with winter snowflakes. By following the easy, step-by-step instructions with photos, anyone can make these treats--no special equipment or skills required. And Hovland's emphasis on using your own creativity means you can't go wrong--have fun and let nature inspire you!"--Page [4] of cover.
