In the Mood to Bake

In the Mood to Bake brings TikTok favorite Alex George’s joyful, nostalgia-drenched baking style straight to readers’ kitchens. Known for her viral quest to test every chocolate chip cookie recipe she could find, George draws inspiration from the beloved snacks of the 1990s and early 2000s—treats like Cheesecake Snack Bars, Cosmic Brownie Cookies, and Frosted Cereal Milk Cake. Her “more is more” approach invites home bakers to embrace bold flavors, playful textures, and the uninhibited joy of childhood sweets. In this debut collection, she guides readers through cookies, bars, breakfast bakes, cake-adjacent creations, and imaginative ice cream treats, all infused with her signature humor and warmth. Whether readers are whipping up Birthday Cake Brookies or mixing Malted Milkshake Cookies, she helps them rediscover the simple delight of dessert. With vibrant photography and endlessly creative sweets, In the Mood to Bake is a fresh, fun upgrade to the home-baking canon.
