The first gluten-free baker to win the Food Network's Cupcake Wars shares her indulgent recipes for cakes, muffins, scones, cookies, brownies, cobblers, buckles, tarts, and more.
 
When Kyra Bussanich realized she had to go gluten-free, she mourned the toasty morning muffins, moist birthday cakes, and fruity crumbles she thought she'd have to give up. Attending pastry school during the day, Kyra used trial and error to recreate her favorite treats—sans gluten—at night. Word-of-mouth spread about her scrumptious confections, and soon Kyra opened her very own Portland bakery, Crave Bake Shop. When she competed against "regular" bakers on the Food Network's Cupcake Wars—and won!—she proved that gluten-free can taste just as good as the original. With delicious flavor combinations and unique recipes like Cherry White Chocolate Scones, Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes, and Mexican Chocolate Baked Alaska, this collection of 50 foolproof recipes invites home cooks to whip up sweet treats that everyone at the birthday party, brunch, or potluck can enjoy.

      Bussanich, the first gluten-free winner of Food Network's Cupcake Wars, owns Kyra's Bake Shop in Portland, OR. In seven chapters (e.g., "Muffins and Scones," "Cobblers and Crisps," "Brownies," and "Bar Treats"), she shares gluten-free recipes she developed after being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. Once readers have stocked a pantry of gluten-free baking staples (e.g., millet and rice flour, potato and tapioca starch, xantham gum), they can re-create treats such as apple crisp, peanut butter truffle crispy bars, and African yam cupcakes with relative ease. VERDICT Bussanich's gluten-free desserts, which prize taste and presentation, are not at all conciliatory. They will tempt all dessert lovers, regardless of lifestyle.
