Baking All Year Round Holidays & Special Occasions

Rosanna Pansino, the YouTube baker behind The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook, collects more than 85 recipes for the holidays and special occasions her own family celebrates. Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day and birthdays are all covered, along with other occasions.

This is a recipe collection for home bakers, built around creative desserts meant to be made and shared. The ideas are playful and decorative, aimed at tables where the dessert is part of the celebration, whether that is a small family dinner or a crowded party.

The book is organised as a baking guide for the whole calendar, so a reader can turn to it whenever a date approaches and find something ready to make. It supplies ideas for bake sales, family gatherings and parties, for anyone who wants to bring a dessert that leaves a lasting impression.

Several recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan, which gives bakers with dietary restrictions options too. That means one cookbook can serve a mixed group of guests, each of whom gets something to enjoy. Pansino also appears on HBO Max's Baketopia.
