It's National Library Week 2012! I'm putting the Librarian in the Food Librarian blog this week!
I'm having a few giveaways this week. Today, I'm giving away a really pretty book - The Flour Bakery Cookbook. (See my other giveaways for Baked Cookbook and Biscuit Cutters - all end Monday, April 16th!)
I've visited Joanne Chang's Boston bakery last year and it was delicious! You can make many of these yummy delights at home with the cookbook!
To enter today's giveaway, simply leave a comment below (one entry per person) and I'll pick the winner from a hat (aka Random). Deadline: Monday, April 16, 2012 at midnight PDT. If your comment isn't linked to a blog where I can find you, please leave your email. Shipping to U.S. addresses only. Cake not included, but recipe is inside so you should totally make this cake! Disclosure: I'm paying for the book and shipping.
Good luck and have fun at your library! More info about National Library Week is at ALA!

Mary, I've been curious about Flour for some time. Thanks for doing a giveaway!
That yellow cake looks so perfect that it must be fake! The crumb is beautiful!
I'd love to make that yellow cake!
I am very excited about this giveaway. In July, I'm going to a library conference in Boston, so I hope I can find time to visit Flour. Your recipe, by the way, looks very yummy.
OH MY GOD!!! I stalk this book at CostCo. I lived in Boston and went to a couple of her restaurants, and Flour is as amazing as you'd expect it to be. Your yellow cake looks amazing - is that yours???
I was just eying this book at the bookstore the other day!!
This looks like an awesome cookbook!
I'm sure I could bake the cake if i win the cookbook, but it'll never look as fancy as yours :) Love your decorating.
My husband is from Boston. Next time we're visiting his family, I'm going to demand we visit Flour. :)
i continue to look for a good yellow cake recipe! i found one, but i don't think the hunt is over, so i would love to try this one.
mmm cake! thanks!
I would love to win the Flour Bakery Cookbook...I love baking and I love your BLOG...PLEASE PICK ME!!!! <3
