Beach House Baking

An Endless Summer of Delicious Desserts

By Lei Shishak

 

Available at Amazon


 

About the Author

Lei Shishak is an established pastry chef who trained at the CIA in New York and has worked at restaurants in Sun Valley and Los Angeles. Her formative years were spent working as Michael Mina’s pastry chef at the Stonehill Tavern at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California. She has been featured in People, Riviera Magazine, Sunset Magazine, Coast, the Los Angeles Daily News, Fine Living, and many more media outlets. She resides in Dana Point, California.
 

In her first cookbook, Pastry chef Lei Shishak shares her most popular recipes for morning treats, cupcakes, crisps, cookies, pies, ice cream sandwiches, frozen pops, and beverages from her celebrated Sugar Blossom Bake Shop in the charming beach town of San Clemente, California.

Inspired by her beach town location and her love of the sand-and-surf lifestyle, here are some of her “Beach” recipes:

  • Surfin’ P.B.J. Cupcakes
  • Piña Colada Highway Cupcakes
  • Coco Hut Macaroons
  • Boardwalk Butter Cookies
  • Sweet and Salty Beach Bod Brittle
  • Pumpkin Beach Ball Whoopie Pies
  • Malibu Ice Cream Sandwiches
  • Beach House Seashore Cobbler
  • Windswept Cherry Pie

Don’t you love the names of these recipes?

Each recipe in the book has a beautiful, mouth-watering photo.  I love the little stories that go along with each recipe. Many of them have an association with a particular beach or location that makes you feel like you’re taking a culinary journey around the world.

I made two recipes from this cookbook last weekend.  We finally had some summer weather, so I made these Strawberry Frozen Pops.

They taste like Strawberry Sorbet.  I love em’!

Ingredients
  1. 1 pound fresh strawberries
  2. 1/2 teaspoon lime juice (1 lime wedge)
  3. pinch of salt
  4. 1/3 cup of sugar
  5. 1/4 cup orange juice (1 large orange)
Instructions
  1. Clean, hull, and halve the strawberries. Place in the blender along with the lime juice and pinch of salt.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and orange juice to a simmer over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and pour over the strawberries in the blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Divide the mixture among your pop molds. Freeze until partially frozen and then insert sticks. (*I placed plastic wrap over the jars before I froze them and inserted the popsicle stick through the plastic wrap. That way, the sticks are all set and you can forget about it.) Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
  1. I used a food processor instead of a blender and it worked fine.

The second thing I made is the Bountiful Blueberry Scones.

    We can always find recipes for a great entrée either for the family and/or also serving when we have a dining room full, but the problem always seems to arise when it comes to finding great desserts to give some diversity. It’s nice to have a really delicious ending to a terrific meal. Thank you for this opportunity.

    These recipes (and pictures) remind me of my Grandmother’s baking, the amazing scents coming from her kitchen, and then the delicious results. I love cookbooks that use ordinary ingredients easily accessible and seasonal freshness. I would love a copy.
