Peek inside: Desserts by the Yard

The cherry on top of our holiday wishlist

Part cookbook, part memoir, Sherry Yard's second book "Desserts by the Yard: From Brooklyn to Beverly Hills: Recipes from the Sweetest Life Ever" is the absolute please-Santa-we-can't-live-without-it item on our wishlist—well, if we hadn't gone ahead and bought it for ourselves.

Click through the four recipes we can't wait to get our Kitchenaid on—and feel your insulin level rise.
