Reviews

"""I am so excited that Melissa has created this beautiful new cookbook! I can't wait to start baking some of these gorgeous recipes. Epiphany has been a fixture in our beloved community of Nelson for years. If we need a cake for any occasion, we buy one of Melissa's many delicious creations. My son got married last summer on the beach at our house, and Epiphany made the most beautiful wedding cake you have ever seen! Nelson is a town of people who support each other in our endeavours, and our whole town is so proud of Melissa for putting together this collection of amazing recipes. Bravo, fellow cookbook writer!"" --Shelley Adams, author of the Whitewater Cooks series"
