Reprinted with Permission It's amazing how much fun can come out of such a small machine such as the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker. The decorating options are only limited by your imagination. Full ReviewCompare Prices Photo (c) by The Cupcake Towerâ„¢ Reprinted with Permission Cupcakes are happiness in a small package, and Cake Pops offer even more happiness in a smaller package. The Cupcake Towerâ„¢ is a wonderful way to display these happy cakes. The towers come with two and up to five levels. You also get to choose the ribbon color and/or design that covers the edges of the levels. On of my favorite features of The Cupcake Towerâ„¢ is that it folds flat for easy storage. Clean-up is a breeze, because there is a thin laminate coating on each level.

I can see! That's what I think each time I turn-on my OttLite BookstandLite. It holds anywhere from a small cookbook pamphlet to one of my larger heavy duty cookbooks.

I'm constantly using recipes printed from the computer, and I had no way to get them to stand-up so I could read them. The Recipe Rock holds up to 8 sheets of paper at a time. No more using my recipe for a spoon rest. Full ReviewCompare Prices Sweet Chic by Rachel Schifter Thebault, Ballantine Books 2010 I've always believed that to be a good dessert maker doesn't necessarily mean you have to be able to make all kinds of desserts. You can impress people by making a few desserts really well. Rachel Schifter Thebault's cookbook Sweet Chic shows you how to master "Stylish Treats to Dress Up Any Occasion" by building a baking repertoire with a few chosen recipes.

The best part of this cookbook is the instruction you receive from Fr. Dominic Garramone's personal pizza-making experiences. It's almost as if he's in the kitchen with you.

It makes stirring pots at the stove, mixing doughs and batters on the counter or even washing dishes in the sink so much more bearable. I promise, once you experience the comfort of a WellnessMat you'll never go back either. Full ReviewCompare Prices | |
