Media Reviews
Kirchner deftly weaves an intricate tangle and then gradually unties the knots toward the end, much like a Bollywood blockbuster.
- The San Francisco Chronicle

The best of Pastries is the frantic life behind the serene scenes in the cafe and the menu. Brown-butter nectarine layer cake. Mango cheesecake. Creme brulee drizzled with persimmon coulis - Ok, you're drooling.
- The Detroit Free Press

There's a sweetness to the bakery's singular desserts; while in the end, Kirchner's characters receive their just desserts.
- Seattle Weekly

Seattle, a town where food is taken very seriously, is the perfect backdrop for a pastry war.
- LA Times
