Gesine Bullock-Prado to Offer Sweet Treats from "Sugar Baby"

Add a little sweetness to your week with Gesine Bullock-Prado, veteran confectioner, pastry chef, and food-blogger, as she shares tips and treats from her new book,  Sugar Baby: Confections, Candies, Cakes & Other Delicious Recipes for Cooking with Sugar.

Gesine will give a lively presentation and will demonstrate the joy of cooking sugar on the stovetop! Samples will be served.

Cookbooks with recipes for baking with sugar (in the oven), continue to top the bestseller lists. And yet, no one has set out to do a cookbook with recipes on cooking with sugar (on the stovetop)--until now.   Organized by temperature and chemical stages, Sugar Baby has  more than 100 recipes for lollipops, caramel, rock candy, chocolate mousse, macarons, marshmallows, pudding pops, cakes, and much more. Sugar Baby will satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth.

A former Hollywood film developer and sister to actress Sandra Bullock, Gesine Bullock-Prado is the founder of the Gesine Confectionary product line and author of My Life from Scratch. She has been featured in People, on the Food Network, and on the Rachel Ray Show, among many other national media outlets. She lives in Vermont.
