I am disappointed in this book. I am not the greatest baker so I lean towards kids books for recipes, expecting them to be easy to make. These are not easy recipes. The graphics are cute though & if you’re comfortable baking I’m sure the recipes turn out good.

If you and/or your kids love Squishmallows and baking, then this book is for you. It's filled with mouthwatering recipes and the illustrations are visually very pleasing. So colourful and vibrant. I'm not sure that all options are easy to make, and not all ingredients might be easily accessible depending on where you live, but these recipes are sure to open your appetite.

The Squishmallows Baking Book is an absolute delight! It’s a fun and colorful recipe book filled with a variety of tasty bakes that are sure to inspire creativity in the kitchen. The vibrant design and adorable Squishmallows-themed treats make it a joy to flip through. I love how many different recipes there are, and I can't wait to try them out. A perfect book for anyone who enjoys baking with a playful twist!

This is such an adorable cookbook. The recipes are fun and unique. Each recipe is associated with its own Squishmallow (like Melina’s peanut butter cookies or Manny’s gingerbread houses). It’s quite the clever marketing strategy, albeit unnecessary, because it appeals to both adults and children alike. However, children would need quite a bit of help with these recipes because they are far too advanced (and possibly even dangerous) for most kids, with steps like separating eggs, boiling water, and using a food processor. Another thing I’d like to mention is that, if you’re an American like me, you will need a kitchen scale for these recipes, as most of the ingredients are in grams.

Wow, this has got to be the cutest cookbook I’ve ever seen! The illustrations are not only beautiful and cute, they are very simple to follow. The written instructions are clear, concise and straightforward. The recipe ideas are delicious and well varied - there's plenty in here for everyone, no matter what your favourite treats are. Not only is this cookbook a joy to look at, I found it a joy to use in my kitchen. Would recommend wholeheartedly!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

This is such an adorable cookbook! Perfect for anyone who loves baking and squishmallows. Each recipe is matched with a squishmallow, like Elizabeth's unicorn cake or Angie's peanut butter brownies. The recipes look so yummy and well done. I cannot wait to try some!

This. Is. Adorable.

My daughter loves Squishmallows (she is 23) and I just had to check this out. The photos are beautiful, the recipes all look yummy, and there's a nice variety of different recipes, too.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves Squishmallows and spending time in the kitchen with your family.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Some of these recipes look too good to be true and they’ve got a little something for everyone and every season. I think I put on weight just looking at the pictures!

The cover of this cookbook drew me in and I thought it might be something my kids would enjoy so I checked it out. This cookbook is so cute! I loved the way it was laid out with a Squishmallow on each page with their recipe. There are so really cuter and creative recipes in this book and they all seem to be doable for an average baker. The layout of the cookbook is beautiful and the pictures accompanying each recipe are a great addition. There are many recipes in this cookbook that I am looking forward to trying. I think this will be a great cookbook to use to bake treats with my kids over the years. If you are looking for some fun, kid friendly dessert recipes this book is worth checking out!

Do you or your kids love Squishmallows? How about baking? If the answer is yes to either, this cookbook is the perfect way to bond with your little ones. Featuring 50 recipes inspired by everyone’s favorite squishy toys, this book brings cookies, cakes, and pies to life in creative and fun ways. There’s a recipe for every occasion and flavor preference. My personal favorites are Belton's Mini Lemon Drizzle Cakes and Sassafras's Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes.

This cookbook is so fun and cute. I have the biggest sweet tooth, and majority of these desserts look very appealing. The graphics look great. I love how every recipe comes with a full color photo.
I thought the recipes might be easier solely based on "squishmallows" being in the title but these are definitely not, but they also don't seem overly difficult either.
I really enjoy how the book has holiday/season inspired treats in calendar order.

A very cute dessert and drink cookbook for the Squishmallows fan! I enjoyed that each baking recipe included a full color photograph. This is key to get kids involved in picking and being involved. The book also progresses through the seasons and holidays making it useful year-round. It is also full of fun illustrations featuring our favorite Squishmallows.

My kids loved this book! It's super cute and wholesome and kept their attention the whole time during reading. I highly recommend this book and will purchase a physical copy.

If you are a collector of Squishmallows you need this! Each squishmallow has their own recipe, so super cool for someone who collects them!

I have an 11 year old grandaughter, so I pulled her in to help review this book. This was perfect for us to do together. It's not for very young children, but the recipes could be made with them "helping." Mine was able to actually participate and did well. She loves Squishmallows, so she was ALL over this cookbook. The photography is so well done, and every bit of it was fun. I highly recommend this for your Squishmallow fan. It would make a great gift to pair with a Squishmallow and perhaps a certificate to have baking time together.

While this book has tons of recipes I'd love to make - the cover had led me to believe that this would be for more novice cooks, or at least recipes a family could make together. I'd recommend previewing some of the recipes themselves to parents before they thought to buy this book for their child or family - it may not be exactly what it seems on first glance. Nevertheless, the recipes are thorough, with plenty of nice images of each. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

As someone who loves Squishmallows so much this was the best thing ever. There are so many tasty treats in here I can’t wait to create myself and I love the little intro to each treat with talking about the Squishmallow that makes it.
