Sometimes You're Hungry for Something Different. Something With a Bit of a Bite to It.
Nikk Alcaraz, creator of Practical Peculiarities, brings you a book full of peculiar desserts that will bring a distinctly macabre air to your next dinner party. Your guests will know that they've finally caught your eye when you bring out a platter of Apple Eye Pies that stare up from the plate. Or, gaze in wonder as you tempt the hands of fate with a Tarot Sun Sheet Cake that brings magic to mind.
Alluring recipes fill the pages of Nikk's book, made complete with gilded edges, spine ridges and gold foil that will entice any eye and become an aesthetic fixture in your home. Internationally recognized for his creepy confections, Nikk has delivered a mystifying masterclass in all things dark and delicious.
Dare to depart from ordinary confections and conjure up some extraordinary bakes―they're to die for!
