Truffles Candies & Confections by award-winning pastry chef Carole Bloom is the 2004 paperback bible for anyone who dreams of silky ganache, hand-rolled truffles, and crystal-clear caramels. Random House packs 224 pages of professional techniques and kitchen-tested recipes into a compact 210 mm format that stays open on the counter while you temper chocolate.
Bloom walks home bakers through every stage—selecting quality couverture, cooking sugar to the precise thread stage, and shaping glossy bonbons without cracks. From classic dark-champagne truffles to playful peppermint bark, each confection is paired with troubleshooting tips so candies turn out picture-perfect the first time.
This used copy shows gentle cover scuffs and one dog-eared page, plus a tiny edge tear on the publication page; interior text remains bright, unmarked, and ready for your next dessert adventure. A sweet addition to any cookbook shelf for chocolate lovers, party hosts, or edible-gift makers seeking reliable candy know-how.
