A very good friend of mine is celebrating a birthday on the 20th. Since I am thrifty, I decided to make her this recipe book. She loves to sew, bake, and drink coffee. The background paper is from Cosmo Cricket (Material Girl Collection). The recipes are for coffee cakes (Maple Pecan Brunch Ring, Mocha Brownie Torte, Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake, Cappuccino Mousse Trifle, and Starbucks™ Classic Cinnamon Coffee Cake)
Here's a peek inside:
Thanks for looking!
