With all kinds of sweet moments and everyday magic, Jenna Rae Cakes brings your at-home baking dreams to life!

In the second book from celebrated Canadian bakery Jenna Rae Cakes, Jenna and Ashley offer vibrant recipes and inspiration to create new memories in the kitchen with family and friends. Drawing on time spent baking at home, Jenna and Ashley put their signature spin on their most beloved bakes. Think of all your classic favourites, then picture them sprinkled with a little Jenna Rae Cakes magic: Birthday batter waffles flecked with all the colours of the rainbow get piled high with a scoop of birthday batter whip on top, a simple loaf of bread turns psychedelic with its blue and pink swirls, and thumbprint cookies explode with Blue Razz flavour that will leave you wanting more.

Known for their step-by-step approach that makes even the most elaborate presentations achievable, these recipes do not sacrifice style. With less time spent fussing over the baking, you’ll have more time to turn your creations into cookie crumble, strawberry glazed, red velvet, cotton candy delights your friends and family will enjoy with their eyes as much as their taste buds. Even modest treats like Lemon Crinkle Cookies and Crispy Rice Squares will dazzle. And for those who want to level up, recipes for Strawberry Shortcake Cannoli or Lime Cheesecakes Danishes teach techniques that will make your baking look professional.

Ashley and Jenna have written recipes for all the home bakers out there looking for ways to transform everyday moments and simple desserts from run of the mill to inspired, sweet favourites you’ll find yourself returning to again and again. Take a look inside...you won’t be disappointed!
