Devil’s Food Layer Cake to a flawless Cherry Pie that’s crisp even on the very
bottom, BraveTart is a celebration of classic American desserts. Whether down-
home delights like Blueberry Muffins and Glossy Fudge Brownies or supermarket

your favorites are all here. These meticulously tested recipes bring an award-
winning pastry chef’s expertise into your kitchen, along with advice on how to
“mix it up” with over 200 customizable variations—in short, exactly what you’d

ice cream sodas and floats. With a foreword by The Food Lab’s J. Kenji López-
Alt, vintage advertisements for these historical desserts, and breathtaking
photography from Penny De Los Santos, BraveTart is sure to become an American
classic. Read more
