Baking & Desserts

There is a particular kind of afternoon that belongs entirely to the kitchen — flour on the counter, butter softening in a bowl, the oven ticking toward the right temperature. Baking & Desserts gathers word searches built from that world: the cinnamony top of an apple pie still bubbling at the edges, a tray of chocolate chip cookies pulled out just a minute early, the birthday cake with its lopsided frosting that somehow tastes better than anything from a bakery. Grandma's cookie jar, a pan of fudgy brownies, sweet rolls glazed while they're still warm, a peach cobbler with a golden crumble on top — these puzzles follow the whole delicious thread, from the mixing bowl to the last crumb on the plate. Pick whichever one is calling to you, and take your time with it.
