When Hazel and her father bake together, her mother says they make the whole house smell like a fancy bakery. And when they bake in the morning, it’s absolutely okay to sample the goods— even if it’s for breakfast. One day Hazel decides to organize a bake sale for her school, encouraging her friends to contribute to the effort. The results take readers all over the world—from strawberry mochi and pumpkin empanadas to Indian-spiced shortbread and Egyptian basbousa cake. Best of all, each of these treat—along with muffins, carrot cake, scones, and vegan and gluten free items—comes with its own easy-to-follow recipe.
