If you are ever anywhere near Capitola, CA, go to Gayle's Bakery!! Just don't go right after church services (one right around the corner) on Sunday. Or, perhaps you should just to see how keen people are on this bakery and what a well-oiled machine it is! If you love to bake, get this book so you can make cookies, cakes, and pastries just like the ones at Gayle's. I love mine and many pages are smudged with some ready to fall out. One of the cookies, the Coco's (fabulous slice and bake coconut cookies), has been reprinted in a book by another author, Dorey Greenspan, and another (though I can't remember which) was reprinted in one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks. How's that for an endorsement!
