Good book if you like baking
Very good book. I learned a few baking tricks from this book.
Cute book
Nicely illustrated book..item cane quickly and well packed.
配送が最悪（後日、交換対応）
本の内容はとても良かったです。 しかし、配送が最悪でした。ハードカバーは汚れ、かつ折れ曲がった状態で届きました。 （追記） 交換対応して頂きました。 ☆3→☆5に変更しました。
Too Advanced
This is a HIGHLY advanced cook book and you really need to be a highly trained profesional baker for these recipes. Even the easy recipes are quite complicated. The ingredients are quite strange and not likely something you can find at your local groccery store. For example, some of the items are sweetened black sesame paste, and beet powder. Some recipes require a cupcake steamer, whatever the heck that is. There is even a cake recipe that when you cut open the cake there is a pusheen inside. I think these recipes are the ones from the Pusheen Pop Up Cafe in Singapore. If you are highly trained or just want to look at this book then I would recommend it, but if the reason you are buying this book is neither of those than I wouldn't recommend. It is not that I don't like Pusheen, I am a huge Pusheen fan. But I think that the description needs to be more clear that this is not meant for your average baker!
Love this Pusheen cookbook!
When we first heard Pusheen will be releasing a new cookbook, we preordered this right away! Recipes are easy to follow with clear photos and there are templates included. There are recipes for all skill levels. We made the Pusheen Shaker Cookies in the photo and we must say that the recipes will require some time to make (even the easy recipes). This is mostly due to presentation and making the Pusheen character perfect! When attempting to make a recipe, we highly recommend allotting some time to make it.

Adorable, with some caveats
If you really love Pusheen, you will love this. It is adorable, colorful, and the instructions are detailed. That said, I returned it. I am an avid home baker, but by no means an expert. Several of these recipes are fairly complicated and require specialty ingredients. For example, several recipes call for cold gelatin sheets. I'm sure substitutions could be made but none are given in the book. If you adore Pusheen and are interested in 40 different ways to recreate her, and aren't intimidated by the ingredients and techniques, you will LOVE this book. I think I'd mostly end up making the cookies and donuts and that wasn't worth it for me.
Not your everyday cookbook. Fun for the adventurous baker.
If you're like me, you read the reviews. I ended up ordering this just to see what's advance about this cookbook in particular since it should be a basic cute-thing baking book. Well, there are recipes like your standard "shaker/snowglobe" cookies that appear on Pinterest around the holidays and I am leaning to try that butter cookie recipe... But a lot of the recipes are very much in line with Asian baking such as a recipe for raindrop cake and a cupcake recipe that uses to steam. While this will be daunting for most US bakers, this does inspire me to try out these new recipes and techniques. Also a possible visit to your local Asian market for some of the items. Overall, this book was a surprise since I wasn't expecting a lot of the recipes to be of the kind you'll get in dessert cafes in Asia and the coastal areas. So if you're the type that always wanted to try to bake or taste one of those Social Media worthy desserts or just want to get out of your baking comfort zone after you tackled some European baking after watching the Great British Bake Off, you might want to pick this book up. The only downside is that the pastel pusheen cheesecake cup recipe uses gelatin so it's a no-bake cheesecake which makes me a sad baked cheesecake fan. :(
So cute
This is such a cute cookbook! It is an awesome gift for any Pusheen fan. The recipes are easy to follow and include pictures, there are also templates in the back to help, highly recommend this product.
Great baking book
I am an avid baker and love so many things about this book. The photography is gorgeous, the recipes are clear with lots of photos, and the techniques used range from beginner to intermediate. I like that it has recipes I’m comfortable with and some that challenge me. I’m also gluten free and all the recipes can be easily converted- some of them even use naturally gluten free flours (sweet rice flour, for example) which makes me so happy! Some of the ingredients may be unfamiliar, but they are worth the try. If you aren’t sure about the flavors, I would recommend walking the Asian section of your grocery store to find something with the same flavor- sample some sesame seed cookies before you buy the paste, just in case you don’t like it. Try a matcha latte at Starbucks before you get the tea powder- it can be expensive! This book is a great introduction to basic patisserie techniques and unique Asian flavors, as well as adorable versions of familiar bakes.
Adorable and I LOVE it.
This super adorable book has SO many recipes! They’re very helpful also, with step by step photos of how to do certain things. There’s easy recipes like simple pusheen butter cookies and more advanced ones like fondant pusheen cake. I will be making pusheen treats for every occasion now!! They have some Japanese recipes and western ones as well.
