In 2002 we published our first book The Whimsical Bakehouse - Fun to Make Cakes that Taste as Good as They Look. This fun, colorful, and approachable book is packed with Kaye's delicious recipes and an introduction to Liv's Chocolate Method among other decorating techniques. In 2004 our second book, Christmas Cookies from the Whimsical Bakehouse was released and in 2008 our third book Little Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse was released. Our latest work-in-progress is Kids Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse and Other Treats for Colorful Celebrations, which is due out in Spring 2010. Clarkson Potter, a subdivision of Random House, published our books.
