The cookbook includes more than 60 recipes with high-resolution
photos that highlight the author's geeky, sweet treats such as
cupcakes and cake pops.
The book represents a wide variety of geeky interests from
Minecraft and Pokemon to Dungeons & Dragons, Zelda and Dr. Who.
Geek Sweets is organized so even a beginning baker can have
success. As the reader "levels up" from section to section, the
recipes become more difficult.
The cookbook also includes theme party ideas with cocktail recipes
and a companion website with printables to enhance all of your
geeky gatherings including your Game of Thrones viewing parties.
A graphic designer by day, Sweet Geek Jenny Burgesse found another passion buried beneath a pile of flour and dutch process cocoa powder. Geek Sweets began in Ottawa as a home-based bakery, with everything made from scratch, just like grandma used to make - If grandma made Cthulhu Cookies and Battlestar Galacticakes. After finding success on the great plains of The Internet, Jenny and her trusty sidekick Mr. B relocated to Vancouver to be close to family, to be a part of the Farmers Market scene, and to continue their baking quest in the city that holds their hearts.
