"The thing that I love about Cake & Loaf is not just that it is a cookbook based on the real-world bakery experience of Nickey and Josie, but that it is about more than just baking. It is a book that comes at the subject of baking not just by way of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, but also by sustainability and responsibility. It's nice to know how to make delicious breakfast pastries and party cookies, but it is so much better when we are shown how to make choices in our kitchen that we can all feel are healthy for ourselves and our planet." -Duff Goldman, Food Network star, bestselling author, and owner, Charm City Cakes "Cake & Loaf truly delivers comfort food at its sweetest with this book!
