Gesine Bullock-Prado, author of Confections of a Closet Master Baker, here to read, sign and share treats!

As head of her celebrity sister's production company, Gesine Bullock-Prado had a closet full of designer clothes and the ear of all the influential studio heads, but she was miserable. The only solace she found was in her secret hobby: baking. With every sugary, buttery confection to emerge from her oven, Gesine took one step away from her glittery, empty existence--and one step closer to her true destiny. Before long, she and her husband left the trappings of their Hollywood lifestyle behind, ending up in Vermont, where they started the gem known as Gesine Confectionary. And they never looked back. 

The ingredients of her story will appeal to anyone who has ever considered leaving the life they know and completely starting over.

This book is laugh out loud funny and full of amazing recipes. Gesine has a relatable, youthful voice that you will love!

Stop by the store for a recipe card for Starry Starry Night cookies before the event. You can make them in advance and come on December 3rd with questions for Gesine or to share your take on the recipe.
