BAKING IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE. I adore creating themed desserts for the holidays and any special occasion. Many of my favorite childhood memories took place in the kitchen with family and friends. My grandma taught me to cook and bake starting at a very young age.

I would spend time with her making things like fresh pasta, desserts, and dinners. My parents always wanted the holidays to be memorable for my sister and me, so they worked extra hard to make sure that happened every year. Whether it was inviting the whole family for Christmas or having all of our friends over for a Halloween party, they found a way to make each season special and bring people together with food. Two of my favorite family dessert recipes are included in this book. In the summertime, my mom would make this fresh .

My dad is especially fond of Christmas.

For over twenty years, he dressed up like Santa Claus and volunteered his time at childrens hospitals and events to help spread holiday cheer. Mom and Dad also make the most adorable Mr. and Mrs. Claus, which they still dress up as.

Being inspired by them, my sister and I used to dress up like Santa and a reindeer and then run around the house pretending to deliver presents. In each chapter of this book, you will find recipes for many of the holidays and special occasions that my family celebrates, such as Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and more.

I hope it can be your guide for years to come with fun, creative, and delicious ideas to make and share. Whether youre headed to a last-minute party or have plenty of time to prepare, this book has everything youll need to make a lasting impression. Ive also sprinkled in several recipes that are either gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan, so theres something for everyone to enjoy and celebrate all year round!

RECIPE ICONS This book includes many recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan. Ive marked them with the below icons. When you see an icon on a recipe it applies to the entire recipe, which includes the frostings and candies used.

TEMPLATES Some of the recipes in this book use cookie cutters and fun shapes. Most templates to re-create these shapes have been included on 251. To make a stencil, trace the desired shape onto a piece of paper and then cut it out with scissors. Once you have the shape cut out, simply place it on your rolled out dough or fondant and use a small knife to cut around the edges. For recipes that require a drawn template, trace copies of your desired shape onto a sheet of paper and then place wax paper over the top to cover it.

Pipe royal icing, melted chocolate, or Candy Melts on top of the wax paper and let set until hardened. Once dry, gently remove them by hand or by carefully sliding a sharp knife underneath.
