Reader sweepstakes: Joy the Baker cookbook

Today’s giveaway is a beautiful, funny, delicious-looking cookbook that I am most happy to share. It was given to me by a friend. I have read it cover to cover, and I want to pass it along you to one of you. It’s Joy the Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple and Comforting Recipes. The giveaway includes a cupcake set from Wilton as well!

If you haven’t read Joy’s blog, stop reading this post and visit it immediately. It is beautiful, funny, stream-of-consciousness writing that will have you falling in love with Joy by paragraph #2. The only reason that I’m not keeping the book myself is that it is “a celebration of butter and sugar.” I learned a ton about baking reading it. Here’s what’s on my permanent cookbook shelf, in case you’re wondering.

Besides the cookbook, my friends at Wilton are providing this fun cupcake prize package as well (shipping separately).

Wilton Cupcake Kit:

• ColorCups cupcake liners (36 each) (foil-lined so they stay bright when baking) in Bright Hearts and Bold Stripes, very Joy the Baker
• Snappy Stripes Cupcake Boxes (set of 2) that holds 6 cupcakes to take your cupcakes on the road or give as gifts
• Scoop-It Batter Spoons (set of 3), which gives you perfect portions for mini, regular, and jumbo sized cupcake pans
• Nonstick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan
