Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Maine pastry chef Klivans tells a little white lie in her title. The component parts of some of her 130 desserts are frozen in advance. Nonetheless, she offers make-at-home versions of professionally created recipes, including chocolate acorns, sticky toffee pudding with warm toffee sauce and cream, and pumpkin-pine nut cake. Klivans starts with excellent tips about the whys and hows of techniques, equipment, and the mechanics of freezing, and her advice is good--with the single exception that the fancier desserts call for lengthy preparations.

I bought, I read, I ate!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bake and Freeze Desserts: 130 Do-Ahead Cakes, Pies, Cookies, Brownies, Bars, Ice Creams, Terrines, and Sorbets (Hardcover)
Bake and Freeze Desserts is a great way to learn about baking while producing fantastic desserts to eat immediately and/or freeze for later! Elinor's recipe's console me, an amateur cook, and lead me through the recipes with ease. She answers every question as it pops into my head and I always learn something about ingredients or techniques when I read and use her books. I love how Elinor tells you how the batter will look or when you know a cake is done. And how great to spend a free evening baking to pull out a fabulous dessert a few weeks later to amaze and delight your friends?! I highly recommend Bake and Freeze Desserts to those used to baking and to those who aren't!
