“This small, stunningly designed book of less than 100 pages is a
work of art, and its minimal prose reads like poetry . . . The
prose is accompanied by Ms. Kalman’s beautifully expressive
paintings—work she deems naive, cartoony and humorous, but which is
also mysterious, subtle and wise. There is always cake, the eating
of cake and gathering around cake. There is love and loss,
heartbreak, celebration, poignant and hilarious times—always with
cake. One might assume that the recipes are mere props in such a
book. But Ms. Scott-Goodman is an accomplished cookbook writer, and
her 17 simple, festive and pretty cakes make an elegantly curated
collection of recipes that anyone might like to have in a little
cookbook.” — Wall Street Journal
"The joyful illustrations and homey recipes beautifully celebrate
the comfort of cake.” — Publishers Weekly
