Finally, a cookie book that's sweet and sassy! Sweet Talk Cookies has gloriously out-of-the-ordinary cookie designs.
If you're sick of the same-old cookies, if you can't possibly decorate another bland tree or stocking, look no further. Hayley Callaway, founder of Hayley Cakes and Cookies (@thehayleycakes), has just what you need—whether that's a taco truck and message cookie that says "Feed me and tell me I'm pretty" or a T-rex hanging Christmas lights. When it comes to designs, this is a book filled with cookies that have character, for year-round fun. Chapters span the seasons, including both holiday-related motifs and designs that simply celebrate something like summer fun (helllooo snow cones!).
If you're looking to really make these cookies your own, you'll love the creative lettering workshop. Once you master the art of writing with icing, you can customize to your heart's content!
Inside, you'll find all this and more:
  • A complete cookie class: Outlining all the key materials and techniques needed in the rest of the book.
  • Recipes: Hayley's signature cookie and icing recipes.
  • Writing workshop: The key to making the cookies your own!
  • Holiday cookies: Cookies to pop the bubbly and celebrate the New Year, fa-boo-lous Halloween cookies, ideas for your Valentine, and even a couple birthday party cookies.
  • Animal cookies: A whole farm of mini-animals as well as bears, a rainbow turtle, even unicorns!
  • Christmas cookies: Just try and pick your favorite from the what's crackin' nutcracker, Rudolph the sprinkle-nose reindeer, and a cookie that is decorated like a tray of Christmas cookies.
  • Summer cookies: Have some fun in the sun with mermaids, fancy seashells, watermelon, tie-dye shirts, and more.
  • And even more cool designs: Cowboy boots, eggs and bacon, carved woodgrain, a watercolor cactus...the sky's the limit!

  • If you are the type of person who demands cookies not only taste good, but be in good taste, this is your cookie book soul mate!

        Starred review from December 3, 2021

        Creative sugar cookie designs for birthdays, holidays, and every occasion are showcased by baker Callaway of HayleyCakes and Cupcakes, a family-owned bakery in Austin, Texas. More than a recipe book, this is a class on making cute cookies. Sections include an introduction to sugar cookie basics, animal-shaped designs, food-based designs, Christmas and other holiday cookies, summer themed cookies, and "cool cookies." The "Basics" section is particularly instructive, detailing skills such as outlining and flooding techniques for iced cookies, decorating tips, supplies, and a recipe to serve as the roadmap for readers' cookie adventures, followed by a primer on icing, color mixing, stenciling, and more; there's even a lettering template for perfect icing script. And that's before the templates featuring unicorn cookies, food truck cookies, Christmas "Tree-Rex" cookies... The book has enough options to impress at any bake sale, office party, birthday, or family gathering. VERDICT This collection is one of the most thorough introductions to cookie decorating in print, with detailed instructions and visuals that can only be beat by a video tutorial.--Gricel Dominguez, Florida International Univ. Lib., Miami
