I want to go to her parties!
Wow, there are some creative cookie themes in here. So many great ideas. My only quibble is how over the top these parties are. Aspirational, sure, but any of the parties Ms Usher describes are more involved than my wedding, which I hosted, decorated, and catered myself. I still enjoyed the peek into this sweet and decadent world.

Beautiful and creative recipes. Lovely photography. Some of the recipes look time consuming though. For example, to make the Halloween eyeballs, you have to use 3 recipes (one for the ganache, one for the actual eyeballs, and one for royal icing). But, if one is willing to invest the time, I'm sure these taste fabulous.

Lovely cookies - there are some challenging cookies in this book! The pictures are great, the layout is a little muddled and I found that I was flipping from front to back to find techniques and information that didn't really make the book all that easy to use

Great recipes for very tasty cookie doughs--with an awesome super strong gingerbread for construction recipe.
