A YouTube star teaches you to bake ridiculously cute, Japanese-style treats, with 75 brand-new, easy-to-follow recipes for totally original and delicious cakes, candies, cookies, cupcakes, and more.

"A delightful debut cookbook."--Publishers Weekly

Kawaii means "cute" in Japanese, and cuteness is the main ingredient in these sweets. In Kawaii Sweet World, YouTube sensation Rachel Fong teaches you how to bake super-easy treats that are just as fun to make as they are to eat. Whether you're a cookie rookie or a piping pro, you'll find tips on all the basics, from whipping up the best buttercream to using a turntable to decorate--but this is no ordinary baking book. Why have a plain layer cake when you could have a cuddly corgi cake?

These seventy-five utterly unique recipes include chocolate cupcakes that transform into snuggly koalas, cake pops that are twinkly-eyed narwhals, lemon cookies that turn into emojis, and cream puffs that become little pink pigs. With Kawaii Sweet World cookbook, the fun is baked right in.
