Candace Floyd has worked in the food magazine and cookbook field for more than 13 years.

She co-edited five cookbooks produced by Relish and American Profile: American Profile’s Hometown Cookbook (featured on QVC in 2006), Hometown Get-Togethers, Hometown Recipes for the Holidays, The Best of Relish, and Seasons and Celebrations. She most often can be found in her Nashville kitchen testing new recipes, or in her garden growing herbs and perennials.

"Deliberately small in size, these baby-cakes are large in charm, delectability, and variety. It'd be hard to find one you wouldn't want to make!

Experienced bakers and neophytes alike will find big inspiration for little everyday cakes." --cookbook author Crescent Dragonwagon
