I am so, so excited for my sweet friend Shaina. Her brand new, super adorable cookbook just came out yesterday! It’s Desserts in Jars: 50 Sweet Treats that Shine. Fifty recipes, all completely dedicated to desserts, and all in cute little jars. I’m in love.
Making Pull-Apart Cinnamon Breads, page 36.
Back in October, when Shaina was in the midst of baking multiple desserts a day to photograph for her book, I was lucky enough to convince her to come stay with me for a weekend so I could “help.” :) And by that, you know I totally mean “taste test all those fabulous desserts!!” :) We had such a fun, much-too-short weekend goofing off in the kitchen, staying up way too late gabbing, and indulging in some of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever tasted. All in all, we ended up baking up a grand total of 11 desserts all in two short days! :)
After baking, we’d head to the scrapbook room and pick out props and backgrounds for the photo shoot.
Then style it and take it outside for a photo! :)
This beauty is Shaina’s Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Creme (page 77). So incredibly good!
Another one we did were these Tres Leches Cakes. So cute! I keep looking at the photo in the book (page 20) and thinking, That’s my backyard! That’s my spoon! I’ve made scrapbook pages with that paper! Lol :)
Morning lighting setup in my kitchen :)
And this. This was my favorite. This was life changing.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Parfaits, page 88. Make this first. So dangerously delicious!!
You know I saved the best for last! :) How cute are these Macarons in a Jar?? Page 63.
I am absolutely in love with french macarons and this was my first time making them. It was such a breeze with Shaina’s foolproof recipe! They are so cute and fun to make. So many fun flavor combinations to choose from! I seriously want to travel around and have macaron making parties now. Who’s in?? :)
A secret note ;)

My grandmother’s homemade black raspberry pie made with raspberries she would grow herself. She died at age 98 and didn’t leave a recipe because she never used one to make them so no one can make one like she did. I miss her and her pies so bad.
Salty Caramel Cupcakes!!!
The one that appealed to me the most was the Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Creme. I hope I win! Love your blog!!:)

Red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Yummy!
I love macarons!
Oh my goodness, asking me to pick a favorite dessert is a question that simply cannot be answered. Apple pie. Any kind of pie really. Cookies. Cupcakes. Banana bread. Brownies. Give them all to me!
Grasshopper Pie!! My second favorite in the summer would be a peach crumble and third would be strawberry shortcake with chocolate chips….can you tell I love sweets(a little too much:)!
Can you tell me what reflector you used to take these gorgeous photos? I’m in the market for one and was wondering what you use/like. Thanks!
I missed the giveaway deadline, but I still wanted to comment. I love this post and will definitely be getting the cookbook. Everything is SO CUTE, and looks delicious. Really enjoyed seeing the “behind the scenes” photos :)
Homemade Rocky Road Brownies!! The Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Creme from this cookbook look amazing. :)
SO hard to choose just one, but if I’m honest, I’ll always be true to the good ol’ basic – brownies.
Right now, cupcakes. Just about any kind, as long as it’s piled high with frosting. LOL
The book looks great, and like another poster said, I too enjoyed seeing your photo “setup”.

Coconut Cream Pie! And now I need some, immediately.
Tiramasu is my fave!
I have to say the Tres Leches dessert – my son loves this cake.

I love my grandma’s chocolate pie with cool whip on top.
Chocolate chip cookies are my fave!

My favorite dessert would probably be something with coconut; although, I love ice cream, too! My husband said he likes to think that I like all desserts equally, which certainly isn’t true, because I hate raspberries. They taste like dirt to me.

So many to choose from…..but I’d have to vote for a really good chocolate cake (real cake, not flourless nonsense) with chocolate icing.
These are adorable! My favorite dessert (right now) is a chocolate pot de creme!

Since it’s 108 outside, I’m going to have to go with ice cream! Ask me in the winter and it will probably be warm cobbler (with ice cream ;))
Just one dessert??? hmmm, this is the hardest thing I have dealt with all day.

I would love to see Tarimsu in a jar. My all time fav dessert!!
To me there is nothing better than a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie right out the oven…mmmmm
My favorite dessert is shortbread with a cup of coffee. The desserts in this book look amazing and may just give me a new favorite!

My favorite dessert right now is ice cream. A local chain in Upstate New York, Stewarts, has a flavor called Heavenly Hash which is my absolute favorite.
My favorite dessert is fresh homemade peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream~ !!!
So easy, anything with peanut-butter! Amanda, I always love seeing your scrapbook room. I’d love more posts on that. Are you still scrappin’?
It’s a toss up between chocolate sheet cake (my granny’s recipe) and the banana split cupcakes from georgetown cupcakes!!!
Be still my beating heart!!!
I cannot believe how great those photos are and how yummy each dessert looks!! You are truly talented!!! Oh…Shaina too!!! tee hee!

Right now s’mores are big on my fav list of yummys…but really anything chocolate. Like that chocolate bar you posted a few days ago…I was so drooling for days.
Thanks for the chance to win =)
My favorite dessert has to be magnolia’s famous vanilla vanilla cupcakes ! I am more of a chocolate lover with anything and everything else, but the vanilla steals my heart everytime !
Oh, my goodness, I’m drooling! My fave is almost anything I am looking at at the moment, but her Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Creme is over the top. I’m also partial to the Macarons. I hope to goodness I win this. And Shaina is one organized girl. No wonder she accomplishes such things. You two are my current role models. Thank-you! :)
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberries
I love this kind of post, thanks for sharing. The photos and desserts look amazing!
Oops! Got so carried away talking about the book, I forgot to leave my favorite dessert…Lately, it’s been my vanilla cupcakes with lemon curd filling and an extremely sweet yet tart lemon frosting. I actually serve these in a jar!
I have this crazy obsession with jars! Everything in jars is better somehow and I love the portability of jars! This looks like a must have!
I can never say no to a cookie…peanut butter chocolate chip are my favorite!
My favorite dessert…hands down…is creme brulee. Loved it ever since I was a kid and it is like a rule for my birthday that we go somewhere that has it on their dessert menu!
Amanda- Your craft room is my dream! So incredible! I second everyone who wants a blog tour of the space and how you set it up!
What an incredibly adorable and wonderful book idea! The pictures are simply beautiful! And each dessert looks so delicious.
My fav is sour dough chocolate cake with choco frosting. So so so good. BUT having individual size servings makes this a book I would definitely want to use.
Love the ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at the cookbook…it looks beautiful!
Anything with strawberries & whipped cream is my latest love. :)
I’m not sure I can pick a favorite dessert, but there is nothing like a chocolatey trifle with whipped cream and heath pieces…I die. The only non-chocolate dessert I really even have on my list is Tres Leches, so that picture of the Tres Leches in a jar…oh me oh my. I die for Tres Leches.
Only one dessert?! ;) Well, let me just say that TODAY my favorite dessert would be Carrot Cake!
Mississippi Mud Pie. Yum!
Shaina’s Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Creme…..and I haven’t even tasted it yet, but I know it’s gonna be my fav dessert soon! Just bought little glass jars yesterday and can’t wait to try this!
Cherry pie in a jar is a wonderful treat!
I love fresh cherry pie. I made blueberry and cherry pies in jars last 4th of July….so fun! LOVE food in jars.
My all time favorite dessert is strawberry shortcake! But not with sponge cake…with lightly sweetened biscuits and loads of whipped cream!! They’d be too cute in a jar. :)
My favorite dessert is Tiramisu. Yum!
Yum! You are one lucky gal. My favorite dessert is cheesecake–I’m sure it would taste fabulous in a jar!!!
Pick just one favorite…well I will have to say Strawberry Shortcake with a shortcake biscuit (not pound cake or angel food cake) and vanilla ice cream with whipped cream on top. This book looks yummy thanks for the chance!!
My favorite dessert is homemade strawberry shortcake! With fresh whipped cream…mouth wateringly good!
What fun to be a part of this! My favorite dessert…that is so hard! Creme brulee? :)
The different colored macaroons are absolutely adorable! Who wouldn’t want a jar of those??
Key lime pie!
I LOVE Key Lime Pie. I will never turn it down if it is on a restaurant menu. :)
mmmm.. dessert. I love most of it. Something dark and rich like a flourless chocolate cake, or creme brulee.
I could never decide between angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream or a brownie sundae…too hard! Thanks for the chance :)
I’d have to say chess bars!
My favorite dessert? It’s a toss up between German Chocolate Cake & Carrot Cake… yum!!
fruit tarts…fresh fruits…pastry cream… shortbread crust….YUM!!
Oh that is such a cute cookbook. Love it. I like any dessert without fruit … chocolate, toffee, pudding, ice cream, cake, creme caramel – you name it, but don’t mix sweets with fruit :)
Maybe a pie here and there is okay…..
I love anything chocolate, especially if it is warm and gooey…or room temp….or cold…or just chocolate! My five year old is lover of vanilla. Go figure!
P.S. These desserts in a pot look so deliciously sinful! I would have to cook them all up in a weekend, too!
Cheesecake!!
I love banana pudding… it would be super easy to make as a jar dessert!
I too am obsessed with macaroons, that is the be first recipe I will try!

I must admit deserts in a jar intrigue me. I love lots of deserts but give me something with chocolate and nuts, lots of nuts and that does it for me. Wow I’m going to have to try deserts in a jar. What a great gift idea. Girls at the office, a neighbor, friend, everyone likes desert. Thanks for the great idea!

And autographed would be EVEN better!
My favorite dessert right now would be whatever I have just created and shared with family, friends, co-workers, etc. I love to bake and share with others, that is the sweetest part! Thanks for sharing the ‘behind the scenes’ with us Amanda!
I don’t think I can choose, I love ALL dessert (literally)! I guess it would be a tie between a Smores Ice Cream Sundae with a brownie on the bottom and any kind of pie/crisp/cobbler!
Lovely photos. I’ve never met a brownie I didn’t love : )
My favorite dessert recently is tiramisu cake pops but I love anything with blueberries, cream cheese or Nutella!

Amazing photos … recipes must be too !!!! Well done ladies !
Brownies are my favorite! What a beautiful book!
This looks like such a beautiful book, and I adore your organised craft room. I love desserts. If I had to choose one favourite it would have to be chocolate ripple cake ( I think it’s similar to an icebox cake in the US). Thanks for the chance.
I have been dying to try macaroons sometime. Looks like a great, fun cookbook.
Gorgeous photography! I’d love a copy of this cookbook! :)
Thanks Shaina for the great ideas my kids will love to do some of these jars for gifts. :)

creme brulee but I can’t wait to try that macaron recipe!
I love anything with chocolate and peanut butter for dessert!
Impossible to pick just one favorite desert as desert is my favorite meal! You can never go wrong with a cupcake, only if it has great frosting.
The photo’s are so inviting. Could not decide which could be my favorite, they all look yummy. Could stick a birthday candle in any of them.
Chocolate cake with rich chocolate frosting! I love the idea of desserts in a jar, what a great concept for casual dinner parties!

I love all cookies! I think I need to get brave enough to try macaroons.
Ooh my favorite desert is a carmel cheescake….yum
My favorite dessert is cheesecake -I wonder if she made that in a jar also! I would love to find out!
Hmm, favorite dessert? that’s a tough question. In fall, I would definitely go for a big slice of pumpkin pie, and in summer I have a hard time turning down fresh strawberry shortcake. But my all-year, all -around, breakfast lunch and dinner favorite would probably have to be frozen peanut butter mousse torte with a doubly thick oreo cookie crust, because everyone knows the cookie crusts are the best part of any cookie crusted dessert.
my favorite dessert is… er… are, I mean, yoghurt, gelato, chocolate brownies, and strawberries with chocolate sauce dipper =3
cherry pie with lattice top in a perfect 6oz Weck jar!
Homemade warm cookies- especially Snickerdoodles!
OhAmanda, you have the best job, taste testing all these lucious desserts! I love anything that involves chocolate or caramel or both!

Lemon mengruin or chocolate brownies
I always love strawberry sorbet ice cream!

Desserts are my obsession right now and this book looks amazing! I’m currently into Key Lime Pie or lemon bars and the many variations of those flavors.

Coconut cake … Yum!
Oh my goodness! If I don’t win … I still wanna buy this recipe book for me and my mom!! :)
These look awesome! Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite desserts!
Those desserts look so delicious! I love tiramisu. However, there was this one time I was at a friend’s house and she made a carrot cake. We both had piece of her cake. I loved her carrot cake, it was the best I have ever had! Now I wish I had her recipe because I would really like to make the cake for myself. Thanks for the chance to win this great cookbook.
My sweet daughter-in-love, Brandi, would love one of these cookbooks. She loves to bake and loves to try new things.
My favorite dessert is tiramisu…bet that would be adorable and delicious in a jar! ;)
Also love creme brûlée. Either one of those and I’m a happy camper! ;)
My favorite desert would be hard to choose just one but if I had to it would be banana pudding. I would love to win a cookbook.
I’d have to say that my favorite would have to be tiramisu. The chocolate, marscapone cheese, coffee liqueur soaked lady fingers… And a nice dusting of cocoa powder! Yummy!
My family’s favorite would have to be banana creme pie or key lime pie!!
Thanks for the chance to win this book!! I’m sure it would see some great use at my house!! I’m definitely putting it on my Amazon wishlist! Everything looks so DELICIOUS!!
hard to pick one, but I made an orange ice cream yesterday night that might become a truly favorite for the summer!
the book looks amazing, thanks for the chance!
laura
smores!!!
A cheesecake please.Yumm!
I have been drooling over this book since I first heard about it! Amazing! I love mini desserts…everything is cuter small, lol. But my favorite of all would have to be tiramisu. I make it traditional, as well as with many optional ingredients and versions.
Such beautiful photos Amanda! And your scrap room – WOW! Fav desert – hard to choose just one, but I think I have to go with carrot cake with cream cheese filling. It’s SO good!
My favorite dessert is cherry pie with vanilla ice cream.
It’s impossible to choose one favorite dessert. I truly, truly love swee things! My favorites include: my mom’s peanut butter pie, pineapple upside down cake, cheesecake, and I do love French macarons too! I’ve been too chicken to try to make them but perhaps your friend’s recipe is the encouragement I need!
Right now anything with salted caramel. Delicious!
Hi! I loved those beautiful photo’s you made, they make the desserts look even more delicious! My favorite dessert is homemade tiramisu with strawberries. I’ll have to try to serve it in jars next time, really cute idea! And so much more easy to transport… I’m a fan.
My favorite dessert on the face of the earth is Chocolate Pecan Toffee Mousse from chef Marty Blitz at Tampa’s Mise en Place restaurant. The linked recipe refers to it as R. G.’s recipe which is the original restaurant where chef Blitz began his career in Tampa many, many moons ago. The waiters at the restaurant will tell you that this dessert “pays the rent”. Personally speaking, if they don’t have this dessert in heaven, I’m coming back! The mousse is very dense, not fluffy, (who cares?) and the dessert is more like a chocolate tart than a mousse. Whatever you do, don’t omit the caramel sauce drizzled on the plate. They always serve it with a fork and I always ask for a spoon so as not to miss a single drop of the caramel. I have been known to scrape the plate with my finger and then lick the last of the caramel off my digit.

My favorite dessert? Easy! ALL OF THEM! I’m a sugar junkie! But I especially love a good white chip macadamia nut cookie! Delish! I would so love to win this cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity!
My most favourite dessert is New York style baked Cheesecake! There’s something about that smooth creamy taste that says Upper West Side to me. And since I now live in Sydney (Oz) I’ve had to learn how to make it myself!
Lemon merangue pie (made with condensed milk!!) (hope you will post to South Africa if I am the lucky one)
