Lifetime baker and cookbook author Matt Lewis opened his Brooklyn bakery Baked in 2005 to instant rave reviews, and his baked goods have been featured on Oprah, the Food Network, and TODAY. After he sold the business a few years ago, he found himself back in his kitchen baking for friends and for his Instagram @Brooklynbaker.

Sure Thing Desserts is a collection of the sweets he makes over and over—and has spent a lifetime perfecting. The book starts with what Lewis sees as musts for his baking readership: Everyday Chocolate Chip Cookies, the Classic Brownie, the Yellow Picnic Party Cake, a Scottish Lemon Drizzle Loaf, and a Posh Chocolate Cake, along with the tips and secrets to making them successful.

The book also includes chapters on bars, cookies, cakes, and pie. This is the must-have book for all everyday and anytime bakers.

Joshua G. ★★★★★

The chapter on laminated doughs finally got my croissants to shatter properly instead of going soggy, and the step photos make the folding actually make sense. A baker with a Brooklyn shop behind the book clearly knows what a home oven can and can't do.

Brian O. ★★★★★

The intro alone, where the author explains what "truly perfect" means to a lifetime baker, sold me. I've already dog-eared the pages for the layer cake and the lemon bars, and the instructions for doneness are clearer than most cookbooks I own.

George D. ★★★★★

I've made the chocolate chip cookies twice now and they come out chewy in the middle with crisp edges every time, which never happens with my other books. The instructions are detailed enough that a home baker like me can actually follow along.
