Clouds For Dessert - Sweet Treats From The Wild West

Taste the velvety smoothness of a cloud melting on your tongue. Let the sweet and fluffy texture take you back to childhood when you could climb aboard and float away to a place where candy, cakes, cookies and pies are your scenery. A place where the Grand Canyon is served on a plate with a little sunset drizzled on top. Where the sky is the limit and the earth is a treat.

CLOUDS FOR DESSERT: SWEET TREATS FROM THE WILD WEST gives us recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation and are indicative of culture and family traditions. Award-winning author and dessert connoisseur, Susan Lowell has collected over 65 recipes to entice, satisfy and delight.
