The Tipsy Grandma…  An Anthology of Thirty, Made-from-Scratch, “Boozy” Desserts!  by the Editors of CakeChatter Thank you to Cake Chatter and Netgalley  for this copy which I reviewed honestly  and voluntarily . 🌻⚘🦋🌻⚘🦋🌻⚘🦋🌻⚘🦋🌻⚘🦋🌻  Book Information This is a fun anthology (collection) of "adult" desserts designed to achieve three goals: One: they had to be made from scratch. Two: they had to incorporate all-natural ingredients and three: they had to be made with alcohol, therefore making them “tipsy!”. As an added bonus, we have included the author’s notes about their recipe, when applicable, and comments from Dough-Punchers(tm), or folks who have made these recipes with success. Nutritional information is included when available. And, as with all our books, we have edited the recipes so that they’re easier to follow and we have developed a different format, which we think is more conducive to your baking success—with the probability of fewer e...
