From the deserts of the Southwest to the shining Atlantic Coast, the USA is as sweet as it gets. In this tour de food, B. Dylan Hollis takes you on a delicious road trip to taste everything from the coffee-crazed creations of the Pacific Northwest to the larger-than-life sheet cakes of Texas.
You’ll be hitting the pavement in vintage style as you journey with Dylan through the culture capitals of America to savor the very best bakes the nation has to offer. His retro recipes span the decades from the 1900s to the 2000s and feature famous (and forgotten) desserts from every state.
With his signature wry humor, Dylan explores the US and uncovers the history of nostalgic local favorites, including Boston Cream Pie on the cobbled streets of Beantown, Beignets in the sultry heat of jazzy New Orleans, and Date Cream scooped up poolside in Palm Springs.
Baking Across America is the highly anticipated successor to Baking Yesteryear and delivers 100 wild, wacky, and wonderful recipes from every star-spangled corner of the good ol’ US of A.

Social media personality and author Hollis (Baking Yesteryear, 2023) is sure to incite lots of arguments about the assigned hometowns for the 100 goodies he chronicles in this road trip of American baking. Why does Maine get whoopie pies? Can Georgia really ""own"" hush puppies? And have Chicago bakeries truly embraced the atomic cake (with its combination of banana, yellow, and chocolate layers)? Questions may also be raised about why some states get more straightforward carbohydrates as opposed to desserts, such as Utah's sunshine granola and Nebraska's meaty stuffed bread called runza. Extra points to readers already familiar with giant Joe Froggers cookies (Massachusetts) and possum pie (Arkansas). Quibbles and jokes aside, Hollis has assembled a truly roadworthy collection of American foodstuffs from all 50 states, organized by region: Northeast, South, Midwest, and West, with further subdivisions. Complete instructions, ingredient tips, and great photographs entice, as do Hollis' notes about Missouri's dirt cake, Pittsburgh's strawberry pretzel salad, Maryland's berger cookies, and many more. Let the coast-to-coast baking contests begin!COPYRIGHT(2025) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
