Publisher's Note
In April 2003, Share Our Strength and Parade magazine launched The Great American Bake Sale, encouraging the magazine’s readers to hold a bake sale to fight hunger. More than 375,000 people answered the call, raising over one million dollars and establishing the fund-raiser as an annual springtime event. The perfect companion for everyone who wants to join in, Baking from the Heart provides sweet inspiration with its 100 recipes for bake sale favorites and other classic desserts.
• Greg Patent, author of Baking in America, shares the recipe for Cherry-Apricot Coconut Bars that won him a trip to the Pillsbury Bake-Off as a teenager—as well as his mother's Walnut Fudge Bars which earned her a place in the same competition some forty years later at the age of 83.
• From Gale Gand, James Beard Award winner and host of Sweet Dreams, comes Marshmallow Heart Throbs, a cupcake cut into the shape of a heart she concocted with her son Gio for his first Valentine's Day at school.
• Joanna Chang of Boston's Flour offers her Apple Snacking-Spice Cake, a reinvention of the failed apple cake she tried to make four times for Mrs. Davis, her fourth-grade teacher, as an end-of-the-year reflection of her love and admiration.
Other famed contributors include Jacques Torres, François Payard, Nancy Silverton, Alice Medrich, and many more.
