It’s almost here! April 7th is just around the corner, and, is it just me or has it felt like a hundred years since I announced my cookbook was in the works? And now it’s just about here! I would love your support–it would mean so much to me if you pre-ordered the book. xo
Here’s a sneak peek (for corresponding recipe pages and to learn more about what’s inside, see My Book):
rainbows & sprinkles cake
chalk-a-lot cake with edible chalk
watercolor graffiti cookies
The even more exciting news is that it is available for pre-order now, and my publisher, Clarkson Potter, and I have some very special bonus goodies ready to giveaway! There are 2 bits of awesomeness for this pre-order fun: First, for everyone who pre-orders my book (ordering before April 6th), or for those who have already pre-ordered the book, you will get my exclusive video tutorial, How to Cover a Cake in Fondant!
You will also be entered to win 1 of FIVE (not 1, but 5) of The Sweetapolita Bakebook Kits! This “kit” includes all of my favourite items used throughout the book. Let’s take a closer look at these goodies:
This is like looking into my kitchen on any given day, and I’m so excited that 5 of you will receive all of these goodies! Here’s a little more about each prize:
1. A signed copy of my book! So you’ve pre-ordered one, and now you can either keep the signed copy for yourself and share the other as a gift, or keep ’em both just cause, courtesy of Clarkson Potter.
2. Fat Daddio’s Cake Pans: These are the pans I’ve been baking with since the get-go, and I love them. I keep 3 of every size so that I can bake them layer-by-layer, which results in the moistest of cakes. The winners will receive three 8″ x 2″ round cake pans, courtesy of Fat Daddio’s!
3. Rainbow Measuring Spoons
4. Pepper Creek Farms Sprinkles: Pretty sprinkles forever! And Pepper Creek Farms knows how to do it right (even the jars themselves are charming). The winners will receive a jar of each Carnival Sprinkles, Pastel Confetti & Sprinkles, Pink Edible Glitter and Amethyst Shimmer Sugar, courtesy of Pepper Creek Farms!
5. Lorann Oils Bakery Emulsions: I use these throughout the book (and on the blog and in my everyday baking), and I love them. These distinct emulsions replace extracts and do no bake out, which means that the flavor stays true and does not bake away in the oven. Each winner will receive a bottle of both Red Velvet and Princess Cake & Cookie Bakery Emulsions, courtesy of Lorann Oils!
6. 3-Piece Turquoise Piping Bag Set
7. Tea & Crumpets Apron: This is one of my favourites, and I suspect my desserts turn out just a *smidge* prettier when I wear this apron. The winner will receive their very own, courtesy Sweetapolita!
8. My signature sprinkle medley! This is the super fun medley of sprinkles I used to create a colourful border around cakes, top cupcakes with or even decorate entire cakes with (see above Rainbows & Sprinkles Cake). I will create a special batch for the winners, package, and ship it your way with love.
9. AmeriColor Soft Gel Paste Food Color 12 Pack Kit
10. Callebaut Belgian Chocolate Callets: each winner will receive a 2.5kg bag of the semi-sweet chocolate callets, perfect for all of the chocolate frostings, glazes, and all kinds of other chocolaty-ness in the book, courtesy of Flour Confections!
11. Cacao Barry Extra Brute Cocoa Powder: each winner will receive a 1kg bag of this dark, gourmet cocoa powder perfect for all of the chocolate cakes and cookies in the book, courtesy of Flour Confections!
12. Escali Arti Glass Digital Kitchen Scale
13. Ateco Frosting Spatulas
14. Pink 3 Piece Spatulas Scraper Set
15. AmeriColor Gourmet Writer Food Pens: Oh how I love these awesome doodling pens, and my cakelets and I use them on cake, cookies, and more. Each winner will receive their own pack, courtesy of Flour Confections!
(You’ll notice that several of these prizes come from Flour Confections–they are my awesome, go-to supplier, and ship across North America!)
And, as I mentioned above, as soon you pre-order your copy, you will also get immediate access to my new best-ever How to Cover a Cake in Fondant video!
Thank you so much for all of your support and baking love. It means the world! Good luck with the giveaway! xo

It’s official!!! You and Heather from SprinkleBakes have officially made me a blog addict. When I first saw these blogs I just visited them on occasion. But something about your blog really stood out to me. I don’t know if it was the aesthetically pleasing cakes or all the cute cartoons on your site but now I’m stuck. So now of course I have to preorder that book as soon as I get home!!! Well done!
Thank you, Jordan! Such a sweet comment :) xo

Cat =’.’=

I can’t wait for this book! It looks so fun and unique!!!
Thanks so much, Julie! xo
Congrats Rosie!
I have never tried a single recipe on your website that has failed so even though shipping the book cost me almost as much as the book its self, it is so worth it! I pre-ordered your book Feb 1st via amazon, and even though I read in the comments that I could enter but I have not yet received the email with the password to the tutorial?
Wish you more and more success :*
Thank you so much, Huda! I will send you the link and password right now! xo
Can I participate if I order e-book for my kindle from Amazon. I live in Australia books are so expensive to buy here and add the cost of postage makes them a ridiculous price. I just love the preview.
Hi June!
Absolutely, you can go ahead and fill out the entry form. I will email you the link to the video and password now. Thanks so much! xo
Rosie, the video is so great! If you’re thinking about pre-ordering the book and watching the video… Do it! You’ll love it! And Rosie, congratulations on your book being #1 in desserts on amazon! You totally deserve it :)

Congratulations on the book Rosie! I can’t wait for it to come in the mail! I stumbled across your La La lavender and lemon curd cupcakes through pinterest a few years ago and just had to try them. I didn’t even know you could eat lavender! I had never tried lemon curd before either. I fell in love with those cupcakes and even found the unicorn cookie cutter. I now keep a bit of lemon curd in my freezer and whenever I want to impress somebody, I whip up a batch those cupcakes. All of your recipes that I have tried have been amazing! I’m so excited to try everything in your book! I was brought to the link for your video this morning after I ordered. Does the link also get emailed? Thank you for your creativity and for inspiring me to find my inner baker.
I pre-ordered the book when I first heard of it in September! Looking forward to getting it in my birth month!
Just pre-ordered your book. Super excited to get it but I haven’t recieved an email with the link to the video
