Incredible desserts with layers and swirls of flavor that are beautiful and delicious-inside and out.

When you marble, layer, and swirl doughs, batters, toppings, or frostings, good looks and good taste come together in one total package. Irvin Lin, creator of the popular blog Eat the Love, shows how these techniques open the door to inventive flavor combinations that look as fantastic as they taste. Bakers of all levels will enjoy recipes ranging from easy brownies and bars to brunch?worthy muffins and morning buns to show-stopping cakes and tarts: cinnamon spiral icebox cookies, pistachio?swirl brownies, triple?chocolate pie, multicolored "Neapolitan" layer cake, and more. Lin offers variations to suit any taste (more than 150 recipes total) plus baking and decorating tips throughout on topics like making your own all?natural food coloring, rolling up jelly roll-style cakes, and discovering the magic of browned butter. Readers (and eaters) are sure to ooh and ahh over every dazzling dessert at first glance—and then again at first bite.

Despite the title, this book isn’t just about making desserts that are marbled, swirled, or layered. This book is about making desserts for yourself and your loved ones. More important, it’s about customizing desserts that you love and want to make. Most people are scared to deviate from recipes and adapt them for their own tastes, especially when it comes to baking. There’s good reason, because baking is a complex science and once you start fiddling with the ingredients, you start messing up the chemistry. But I want people to explore and try new things. So you’ll find that each recipe in this book has a core recipe and also an alternative recipe or two. Some are fairly easy alternatives, such as a simple swap of fruit. But others are a little more extensive. Read the main recipe completely before you read the alternatives; it will have more detailed instructions. But it’s quite possible that the alternatives will be more appealing to you than the main recipe. That’s why I included them!
