With these quilts and desserts,
you will experience "smaller" quilts than my traditional dessert quilts in
my Sweat Treats books, and "small" desserts to go with each quilt. By
small desserts, I mean a dessert recipe that makes a small amount - a
dessert that serves 1-2 people and then it's gone. No leftovers to
tempt you, but still a delicious small amount to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Whatever dessert you are hungry for, if you only want 1 or 2 servings, Small
Bites are for you! Please enjoy my first Small Bites quilt!
