Procrastibaking

“We have to cook, but we get to bake. Erin’s book illustrates this so beautifully as she celebrates the power of baking to take us out of the chaos in our heads and replace it with the calm that comes with working with your hands. Baking is a welcome escape during life’s craziest times, especially when you can use Erin’s recipes in the kitchen.” – Shauna Sever, baker and author of Midwest Made “Procrastinating is bad, but if you procrastibake, you end up with something wonderful and delicious because you weren’t actually ‘procrastinating’-you were doing something productive. Thanks to this book, I have a whole bunch of amazing recipes that can help me rationalize my poor decisions. Erin Gardner is nothing short of a hero.” – Allison Robicelli, James Beard Award-nominated food writer and author of Robicelli’s: A Love Story, With Cupakes “Erin Gardner is not only a wildly talented-dare I say-genius cake decorator and baker, but she is also straight-up hilarious and whip-smart, to boot. Procrastibaking is the sweetest and funniest of vehicles in which Erin’s baking expertise and humor truly shine.” – Jessie Sheehan, author The Vintage Baker “Kudos to Erin for cracking the code. She sees us all-especially me! Procrastibaking should be my middle name! Whether I’m avoiding a deadline or refusing to look at my inbox, Erin’s got me covered. She makes putting off being an adult much more enjoyable-and delicious!” – Kristen Tomlan, founder and CEO of DO, Cookie Dough Confections, and author of Hello, Cookie Dough
