Baked Occasions Book Launch Party!

On Tuesday, I was invited to the Baked Occasions book launch party at their soon-to-be-opened location in Tribeca. The book, which is absolutely beautiful, is filled with everyday desserts and special occasion cakes that a home baker can make (trust me, I’ve made multiple things from their cookbooks!). The launch party was really fun and I brought my friend, Ryan, to help me eat and take photos. We tried EVERYTHING and are happy to report that we left with happy bellies. The book cover is absolutely beautiful:

Their second location in Tribeca is going to open in a few weeks and already has some really cool decor, including this great light and couch:

The dessert spread:

I am a sucker for their cupcakes because their fluffy icing and very moist cake and these were decorated with sprinkles so obviously we had to have one:

And since it’s October, we had to have pumpkin swirl cheesecake bites:

Their chocolate cupcakes and brownie bites were also beautiful to look at and even better to eat:

These cookies had cardamom and coconut – an interesting combination that reminded me of Vosges chocolates – yum!:

My plate of goodies:

The book cover’s cake was the pièce de résistance (in the background of this photo):

And they cut it up for us to eat:

I might make (or end up buying) that cake for Ken’s upcoming birthday! The Bake Occasions book has beautiful photos, great recipes that are very easy to follow, and every time I make something from the Baked cookbook for my friends or coworkers, they thank me profusely for making something so damn delicious. I can’t wait until the bakery opens in the city, too!
