Well a lot has changed. But still, we gather. We worry. We plan. We get confused. We end with cake. 

With great style, wit and joy, Maira Kalman and Barbara Scott-Goodman have collaborated to celebrate their favorite dessert in “CAKE” (Penguin Press), on sale April 10.

The two New Yorkers will present their new book at Community Bookstore near Grand Army Plaza on April 18 at 7 p.m., and at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central branch on May 6 at 11 a.m. 

Kalman’s enchanting illustrations, in her inimitable style, and Scott-Goodman’s mouthwatering recipes complement each other perfectly, making “CAKE” a whimsical celebration of a timeless dessert. Inside you will find 18 recipes for cakes of all kinds, many inspired by reminiscences of Kalman’s youth. As always, her illustrations are exquisite. And as with her previous titles, “CAKE” is a beautifully produced package, making it a perfect gift for any cake lover. 

Kalman is an illustrator, author and designer. She is the author of “Beloved Dog,” “And the Pursuit of Happiness” and “The Principles of Uncertainty.” She is the illustrator of Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules” and the bestselling edition of William Strunk and E. B. White’s “The Elements of Style.” Kalman’s work is shown at the Julie Saul Gallery in Manhattan.
