About this product

Product Information

A former Hollywood insider trades the Hollywood Hills for Green Acres - and lives to tell about it in this hilarious, poignant treat of a memoir. 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. Confections of a Closet Master Baker follows Gesine's journey from sugar-obsessed child to miserable, awkward Hollywood insider to reluctant master baker. Chock-full of eccentric characters, beautifully detailed descriptions of her baking process, ceaselessly funny renditions of Hollywood nonsense, and recipes, the ingredients of her story will appeal to anyone who has ever considered leaving the life they know and completely starting over.

Can't put this book down
I am loving this book. Gesine tells a wonderful family history along with her delicious recipes. I have been watching her show on the Food Network and wanted more information. I guess that is the reason the pricing on her books has gone crazy. Happy I got a couple before this happened.

Master Baker and Sweet Sharing
I love memoirs. Gesine's is truly lovely. Her heartfelt sharing is as good as her recipes. I just with there were more recipes, but it is a memoir. I look forward to reading her second book and wish i was able to visit her bakery. Her experiences in Germany have made such an impact on her whole life and it is a gift to have her share that with the world. She has a special family and it enhances her life with joy.
