About this book... When campus closed in March due to the global pandemic and our traditional sports and electives were canceled, we wanted to be able to “gather” together to enjoy some fun activities. Virtual Baking met for 6 weeks during April and May of 2020, with our final meeting being a “Show and Share” of recipes from participants. This book is a collection of the projects we completed together including step-by-step instructions and how to videos that you can use to make the projects at home. This book also includes the recipes shared by our members. We hope you enjoy making these treats all summer long!
