This cookbook is so fun and cute. I have the biggest sweet tooth, and majority of these desserts look very appealing. The graphics look great. I love how every recipe comes with a full color photo.
I thought the recipes might be easier solely based on "squishmallows" being in the title but these are definitely not, but they also don't seem overly difficult either.
I really enjoy how the book has holiday/season inspired treats in calendar order.

What a cute baking book! My daughter loves Squishmallows and baking so this was fun to look at with her! We can't wait to try all of the cute recipes

My kids loved this book! It's super cute and wholesome and kept their attention the whole time during reading. I highly recommend this book and will purchase a physical copy.

I have an 11 year old grandaughter, so I pulled her in to help review this book. This was perfect for us to do together. It's not for very young children, but the recipes could be made with them "helping." Mine was able to actually participate and did well. She loves Squishmallows, so she was ALL over this cookbook. The photography is so well done, and every bit of it was fun. I highly recommend this for your Squishmallow fan. It would make a great gift to pair with a Squishmallow and perhaps a certificate to have baking time together.

As someone who loves Squishmallows so much this was the best thing ever. There are so many tasty treats in here I can’t wait to create myself and I love the little intro to each treat with talking about the Squishmallow that makes it.

Was this review helpful?

What a cute little cookbook! I was genuinely surprised by the level of the recipes in here. I was expecting a book of child-friendly, novice-level recipes but found that there were a lot of delicious sounding recipes for people with more intermediate cooking and baking experience. The illustrations are adorable, and the food photography was well shot. As a Squishmallow collector, I really liked the little blurbs with the recipes connecting them to the different characters, and I could see it being fun to create the dish that matches with my niece's favorite squish of the week to share with her. Do be aware that almost all of the recipes in this book are for sweets, and there are only a couple of savory options. This far exceeded my expectations for a Squishmallow themed cookbook.

Perfect baking book for all the Squishmallow fans out there! Super cute and all the baked goods look amazing! 5 stars!

Was this review helpful?

This baking book is just the cutest! I was able to try a couple of the smoothies in back after going through the book and not only were they delicious but the directions were easy to follow. There are a few more advanced recipes like Macarons and Ice Cream Cake that require a bit of prior baking knowledge but I think someone who wasn't an avid baker could follow along and have success! It's also a great gift for a young baker or something to buy for the whole family for a day a baking fun!

With 50 recipes included, Squishmallows: The Official Baking Book is sure to keep Squishmallow fans busy in the kitchen. Most young fans will need help with these recipes, but making them together with caregivers will create plenty of bonding opportunities along the way.

The colorful graphics and bright photography make this cookbook a fun one to peruse, and each recipe includes a cute introduction relating to a Squishmallow character.

I am especially eager to try out the recipes for Claudia’s Key lime pies, Edie’s Easter egg fridge cake, Genevieve’s macarons, and Sassafras’s chocolate orange Bundt cakes.

I received an advance copy of the Kindle version from Quarto Publishing Group and White Lion Publishing. All review opinions are my own.

This is the CUTEST cook book ever!!! My kids LOVE Squishmallows and would absolutely love this book. They also love baking, so double amazing! This book has such cute little "Squishmallow" foods like cookies, brownies, pies, sweet treats and even drinks! I think it's adorable and would be really fun baking these goodies along side my kids.

Was this review helpful?

This was simply adorable. Really cute concept to match the Squishmallows with the recipes and the illustrations are colorful and eye catching. My daughter loves Squishmallows and this is going to be a fun way to keep her engaged while we try some recipes out. They all look delicious, can't wait to try some like: Robb's banana loaf, Sunny's honey buns and Manny's gingerbread houses for the holidays. The drinks section was really nice too.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

Fantastic bright, colourful and cheerful book of baking, I look forward to trying many, many of the recipes within, it’s written in easy to follow steps, clearly explains them too. Lovely colour pictures of each recipe, a very appealing cookbook and a great gift for any bakers in your life.

Was this review helpful?

This is a fun concept with a really adorable design. I was expecting somewhat simpler recipes that were more kid friendly but that's not the case with all of these--some of them are quite complex (though that may be because I'm not a talented baker by any stretch) and take more than one page. This book would be perfect for themed parties for fans of Squishmallows young and old. I love that drink recipes are included as well, but these aren't simple either (see ingredients such as elderflower cordial). I'll have to try my hand at some of these during this upcoming winter!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

What a cute read! I feel like this one's a perfect book to have for parents. Something to do with your children. It would be really fun experience to have. I liked the illustrations, they were so beautiful and cute. The recipes also were straightforward and simple with an easy approach. Baking beginners also can also benefit from this book with it's basic recipes. We also have some intricate recipes for the brave. Not just kids but friends and family can bake together and just... have fun.

Thanks to the publisher for this ARC!

Amazing illustration, photography and overall presentation! As a squishmallow collector is such a cool idea to have these recipes to recreate the plushy. It could’ve been slightly better if there were some images for the drink section as well. But overall, a very cute and easy to understand recipe book.

This cookbook wasn't only cute but the recipes were tasty! As a mother of 6 kids I try to bake with and for my kids as often as possible, this little nugget is filled to the brim with fun and appetizing recipes. What I really appreciated was that the measures were in grams not only in cups, as I live in Europe, it isn't something I'm really used to. With this book you're not only covered for Halloween treats but also Christmas, Easter and birthdays. The kids loved the small presentations of each Squishmallow before each recipe, and I have to admit, it's cute.

I adored this! Just as adorable as the beloved squishmallow teddies. The pictures are beautiful, the layout is great, the recipes sound delicious and I love the way they tie into a squishmallow character. I definitely need this for my collection, I can't wait to try some of these sweet treats!

Was this review helpful?

Great recipes and eye-catching presentation.
I wish there were more savoury recipes but I understand that it must be difficult to include them due to most savoury bakes not reminding you of squishmallows.
Would be great to see the photos of the drinks.

Omg how cute is this book my kids loved looking at the bakes and thought the links to Sqishmallows was so cool, we cant wait to bake some of the delicious goodies!

A perfect book for anyone who enjoys baking with a playful twist!

Wow, this has got to be the cutest cookbook I’ve ever seen! The illustrations are not only beautiful and cute, they are very simple to follow. The written instructions are clear, concise and straightforward. The recipe ideas are delicious and well varied - there's plenty in here for everyone, no matter what your favourite treats are. Not only is this cookbook a joy to look at, I found it a joy to use in my kitchen. Would recommend wholeheartedly!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

This. Is. Adorable.

My daughter loves Squishmallows (she is 23) and I just had to check this out. The photos are beautiful, the recipes all look yummy, and there's a nice variety of different recipes, too.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves Squishmallows and spending time in the kitchen with your family.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy!

This is such an adorable cookbook! Perfect for anyone who loves baking and squishmallows. Each recipe is matched with a squishmallow, like Elizabeth's unicorn cake or Angie's peanut butter brownies. The recipes look so yummy and well done. I cannot wait to try some!

Was this review helpful?

The cover of this cookbook drew me in and I thought it might be something my kids would enjoy so I checked it out. This cookbook is so cute! I loved the way it was laid out with a Squishmallow on each page with their recipe. There are so really cuter and creative recipes in this book and they all seem to be doable for an average baker. The layout of the cookbook is beautiful and the pictures accompanying each recipe are a great addition. There are many recipes in this cookbook that I am looking forward to trying. I think this will be a great cookbook to use to bake treats with my kids over the years. If you are looking for some fun, kid friendly dessert recipes this book is worth checking out!

This baking book is absolutely adorable! I love the inclusion of illustrations of the squishmallows with real life photos of the different baked goods. The baked goods look amazing and I can’t wait to try out some of these recipes! This cookbook will definitely make your face smile and your belly hungry!

Was this review helpful?

This book is an absolute treasure and would make a lovely gift for children and grown ups alike. A practical book that's just as pleasing to browse as it is to use.

It is beautifully illustrated and each recipe is assigned to a different squishmellow character. Each recipe is introduced by a paragraph about the character and recipe which is so engaging for children.

Recipes are clear with ingredients list and staged instructions. Ingredients are readily available and appear repeatedly throughout the book so are likely to be used again, not just sat in the cupboard.

I love that there's a bit of everything in this book! From pancakes, cookies and savoury snacks to all out show stoppers!

The only thing I'd like to see would be approximate calories per portion. In a health conscious world, and with some of the recipes being very rich in ingredients, it would be very helpful to the reader.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group- White Lion and NetGalley for the e-ARC of the book.

Our household is full of Squishmallow fans, so I was really excited about this book. This book contains recipes for different occasions and seasons, various difficulties and definitely should please every taste bud. I like that the ingredients were listed both in grams and ounces as well as some ingredients had variations depending in which part of the pond you are.

This book is not only fun to look through because of its colorful illustrations, but also fun to follow the recipe for yummy result.

A really fun and unique book full of recipes for avid bakers and those just beginning. The caramel, apple and blueberry muffins are definitely on my list to make next!

Was this review helpful?

This is a bright and colourful cookbook and ideal for using with children or for baking for children’s events.

Each squishmallow has their own bake whether that be a cupcake, cinnamon bun or a cheesy scone. There are also themed bakes for Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

The ingredients list is concise and easy to read. The recipes are simple and easy to folllow. Although I would say children would need an adult with them to help.

Included recipes for cupcakes, cakes, biscuits, sweet loafs and pastries, cheesecakes, whoopie pies you will never be stuck for something to bake! There are even a few recipes for drinks at the end!

The concept of a Squishmallows cookbook is brilliant. It’s no secret the Squishmallows have taken the world by storm, grabbing the attention of children and adults of all ages. The cookbook was just as eye catching with the adorable photos, scrumptious recipes, and assortment of colors. There’s everything from pretzels to brownies, to tarts and whoopie pies. This would be the perfect gift for your Squishmallow loving family member or friend, but the best part is that you don’t even have to like Squishmallows to benefit from this cookbook, as the recipes cover everything and anything sweet you could possibly want.

My daughter loves everything Squishmallow and this cookbook was right up her alley! She loved the fact that each recipe was associated with a character… I feel that it gave us way to bond as she was interested in cooking these recipes with me. The blueberry cheesecake was to die for! Can’t wait to try more of these recipes.

My household is full of Squishmallows and sweets. I love combining the two! We've already made Cam's three-colour dough cookies and they were easy and fun to make! I went with a simple recipe first because my daughter wanted to help and she had so much fun! I can't wait to make more of these sweet treats with and without my daughter!

An absolutely adorable book, a must-have for any Squishmallows fan. The recipes are clear, easy to follow and look delicious. Beautifully illustrated and tied to its theme without being gimicky. This would make a great gift.

This was such a cute cookbook! My daughters and I immediately sat down and started making a list of all the recipes we wanted to try first. First on our list is Clara's Granola Bars, Cruz's Avocado Cupcakes, Han's Chocolate Truffles, and Mony's Raspberry Lemonade. I've already got the ingredients on order and will be trying these recipes out tomorrow. The recipes are easy to follow, and I know my 11 year old will be able to try the recipes on her own if she wanted to.

I really loved that this cookbook has a conversion guide and a substitution list just in case certain ingredients are readily available in your country . It really takes the guesswork out of it. This cookbook would be a great gift for anyone who loves Squishmallows. I will definitely be purchasing a copy for my niece. I received this via Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group in exchange for honest review.

For those who aren’t familiar with Squishmallows, they are very popular stuffed toys that took off during Covid. I ordered Squishmallows: The Official Baking Book, thinking it was a children’s baking cookbook. I was wrong. This baking book is full of dozens of absolutely mouthwatering baked goods. Most are sweet, but there are a few savory treats like cheddar scones which turned out to be fabulous.

It turn out that this isn’t a children’s cookbook; rather it is a baking book for adults (and collectors of the stuffed toys). The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions. The recipes aren’t particularly easy or for children, but most bakers will be able to make them easily whether they are beginners or advanced. There are beautiful photographs of most of the dishes, and cute, colorful illustrations of Squishmallows. The recipes are also named for the different Squishmallows.

All told, this cookbook is fun and very colorful. The recipes are very tempting, and they turn out picture perfect. Who could resist Zuzana’s triple choc chip cookies, Angie’s peanut butter brownies, or Edie’s Easter Egg Fridge Cake? There are notes at the beginning of each recipe with little blurbs on some of the Squishmallows.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this cookbook.
