Modern Art Desserts: Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Confections, and Frozen Treats Based on Iconic Works of Art [A Baking Book] Kindle Edition

I gave this as a gift. Seems more of a read than a recipe book, but it fit the bill for a friend who loves baking and modern art.

I was expecting a more clear book so I could follow some recipes but I think the book focus too much on unnecessary information and too little on baking and the process of each cake

While many of the recipes are too time-consuming for most home cooks, this book is a pleasure to look at and read. Nice to know the author/baker's inspiration for the desserts and a few will be tried.

Modern Art Desserts is a gorgeous cookbook. I love design and I love baking so I'm really enjoying reading this work of art. I haven't tried any recipes yet, but I cannot wait for an opportunity. Compliments to the chef xo

I saw this in the museum store for the cover price and purchased it on Amazon for a great deal. It is a pretty cool cookbook.

I really like how this book combines both art and pastry. As an artist turned pastry chef I enjoy this book

This book is so creative and enchanting. I have been inspired by the way the author plays off the artwork from the SF MoMa and comes up with the most amazing desserts. I was impressed with how she encourages readers to attempt to make this edible art and the descriptive lengths she goes to to help the reader succeed. She even gives us access to the extra details to take it to the highest level of presentation, like the bee transfers that can be ordered to embellish the Avedon Parfait which riffs off of the photograph of the beekeeper whose upper naked body is covered in bees, or how to make the charming box with the stencil of a bird to house the Kahlo wedding cookies. You can even order the ribbon printed with the inscription in spanish that is featured in the Frieda and Diego Rivera portrait she did of them shortly after their wedding!

Gift for my daughter and she loved it

I consider this recipe book a great buy! Its price is very low considering the quality of the edition. It contains 27 recipes of high profile cakes and cookies that look like works of art and dozens more that are simpler to make for your beloved ones. From the Modrian Cake to Koons White Hot Chocolate it is amazing as it explains in each and every detail what you should do. It comes with an Introduction and it deals with equipment and ingredients as well. Oh, and photographs are everywhere!!! I totally recommend this book to anyone who has a soft spot for making desserts. It will definitely make you stand out!

Ridiculously exquisite confectionary with recipes. Haven't baked any yet but longing to do so. Be brave: bake art!The seller was wonderful, arranging a no-fuss replacement for a damaged volume with curtesy and speedily enough for me to give the perfect copy as a present.

interesting cook book

I love this item, Greate and new. Greate seller also

Beautiful coffee table book - some of the recipes are pretty challenging, so best for serious bakers or casual readers interested in design
