Hedy Goldsmith's Baking Out Loud: Book Parties and Video Previews

Clarkson Potter Publishing Group

Hedy Goldsmith is juggling a lot of sweets on her plate.

Baking Out Loud, Hedy Goldsmith's first book is finally coming out in about a month.

The 224-page tome features 80 recipes by the talented executive pastry chef at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink and photographs by Ben Fink.

Many of the treats featured in Baking Out Loud are upgraded riffs on the chow we all grew up with: Oreos, Pop Tarts, Swiss Rolls, and Twinkies. Goldsmith also reveals the secret behind her addictive "Junk in Da Trunk" cookies, which could possibly be worth the price of the book in itself.

Baking Out Loud lists for $27.50, but Amazon.com is offering the book for $15.54 on pre-sale with free super-saver shipping.

With every book release come the inevitable parties, and the first one has already been announced.

On Sunday, October 7, at 5 p.m., join chef Goldsmith at Books & Books in Coral Gables for a cocktail reception with bourbon-based libations, followed by a Q&A session with Miami Herald columnist Lydia Martin and paninis in the courtyard. Plus, each guest who purchases a copy of Baking Out Loud will leave with a goodie bag of treats made by Goldsmith herself.

To get you in the mood, watch chef Goldsmith make some of your favorite childhood treats in her brand-new promo video... then count the days when you can get your hands on the recipes and make them on your own home.
