Small Batch Bakes: Baking Cakes, Cookies, Bars and Buns for One to Six People

Most recipes are designed to feed a small crowd. So what does a baker living in a small household do when struck by a craving for something sweet? Fortunately, Kimber (One Tin Bakes Easy), a London-based baker, food writer, and winner of the first season of The Great British Bake Off, has got readers covered. He dishes up a tasty collection of delicious delicacies ranging from the quintessential British crumpet to a clever twist on a classic, his snickerdoodle cheesecake bars, to more modern inspired desserts such as Japanese jiggly cheesecake with passion fruit butterscotch sauce, all of which are designed to serve from one person to six people. The book’s easy-to-follow recipes for sweet treats (and a few savory ones too) include both U.S. and metric weights and measures, as well as instructions for serving and storage. As the icing on the cake, Kimber also provides a sampling of small-batch basic recipes for doughs and fillings, as well as useful tips on freezing baked goods and what to do with leftover eggs.
