“Chocolate is to Erin what the Cosmo is to Candace. The Happy Baker is a guilty pleasure and a decadent read. Insightful. Witty. Charming and Delightful. This is a girl’s guide to dating and baking 101.

“Getting up at 4 am is never fun, but when Erin was my make-up artist at Breakfast Television all her stories made that crazy hour a lot more bearable, entertaining and fun. Happily, we got to work together again on my next show so the stories continued...and continued to be just as amusing. I’m so glad they’re not just for an audience of one anymore and everyone can pick up this charming book and laugh along. And, the recipes are fabulous!”

“My name is Earl” meets “Sex and the City” meets “Grandma’s Cookie Jar.” Yep, that’s The Happy Baker book in a nutshell, possibly with a little Golden Girls thrown in…think Rose Nyland. The Happy Baker book is a collection of recipes most of which are unique to Erin Bolger aka The Happy Baker’s rural upbringing, matched with her own personal dating memories. The memoir vignettes are singularly her own, but are at the same time very relatable. Sometimes it’s nice to know you weren’t the only one to make out with a long-haired rocker in the middle of a cornfield, with bangs the size of Oklahoma!

I am part country, part city…and all woman. I love to tell stories which are always best accompanied by my homemade goodies. During such indulgences, I've managed to entertain with my triumphs and trials in the world of dating. It's struck me over the years just how many times, I've heard (over a mouthful of my famous "Biscotti"), “Erin, you should write a book.” And so, here it is. I may not have a professional background in baking but if they gave out degrees for sugar addictions, I would be on the honor roll. I truly am happiest when I am baking.
There were many times throughout this process when I felt vulnerable about sharing my sometimes odd but always entertaining experiences. But then I thought, who am I kidding, because if we met you would know my whole life story in about five minutes. It’s taken years of dating, many bottles of red wine and many hours of listening to Coldplay CDs to make this book possible. I’ve unlocked my vault of emotions...and my favourite recipes! Eat, bake and be happy!
