Amazon Goodness ~ Back in the Day Bakery Made with Love

Back in the Day Bakery - Made with Love, published in 2015. Over 100 recipes and a few make it yourself projects from the couple behind the eponymous shop located in Savannah, Georgia. The introductory chapter offers hints and tips on "craft" baking along with a baker's dozen list of must have equipment.

Starting us off is The Beginning of a Great Day with raspberry corn muffins, fresh fruit turnovers, chocolate bubble loaf, walnut wheat biscones (cross between a biscuit & and scone), eggnog French toast and granola - the one crafty idea is a chandelier made from marshmallows (!) - then we move onto Everyday Cakes which consist of a very berry Bundt cake, Mexican spice cake, banana chiffon, clementine pound cake with a chocolate honey glaze, a fresh peach cake and an apple brandy/brown butter cake.

In the Pie a Day chapter, we are treated to a rustic plum pie, orange buttermilk, a cherry pot pie, razzleberry crisp and a double chocolate mint chess pie, while Your Day-ly Bread offers honey white bread, rosemary focaccia, cornmeal sandwich buns, ciabatta rolls, savory rosemary lemon shortbread, pimento cheese crackers and sweet potato lemon bread. The crafty project is a snack pocket (to hold all the sweets!).

Holidays and Celebrations doles out a caramel cake with salted caramel frosting, lemon cake with lemon meringue butter cream, an Alabama lane cake, gingerbread cupcakes, a festive Yule log and buttermilk & brown sugar cheesecake, with the Saturday Supper Club dishing out beans & cornbread cobbler, farmer's market quiche, buttermilk waffles with candied bacon, pimento cheese deviled eggs and pizza.

Moving onto the closing chapters, we encounter A Satisfying Treat Saves the Day, which consists of honey oat cookies, brown sugar chocolate chip shortbread, Tybee sand dollar cookies, cotton candy meringues, Shaker Meyer lemon bars and lemon buttermilk fudge, with the last chapter, Make It For a Rainy Day contributing blackberry lime jam, green tomato marmalade, sweet potato comeback sauce, pickled red onions, bee sting honey, bourbon sorghum syrup and honey lavender syrup.
