About this app

The Love, Manuela app is a baking app created by Manuela Kjeilen from Norway, known as @passionforbaking. Manuela has shared her baking journey for more than a decade, published nine baking books, had her own baking show on TV in Sweden, and has more than 1.6 million followers on Instagram following her cakes, recipes, and baking inspiration.

Inside the Love Manuela app, you get instant access to more than 470 recipes, all written in English, with high quality step by step photos for every recipe from beginning to end.

One time purchase. No subscription. New recipes are included when they are added.

For Manuela, taste always comes first. Every recipe in the app is created with that in mind. Beautiful cakes are lovely, but the most important thing is that every bite tastes delicious. Her recipes are made to let the flavors shine, with soft textures, creamy fillings, and desserts that are delicious without being overly sweet.

Inside the app, you will find sponge cakes in many variations, ganaches in delicious flavors like strawberry, latte, and banana milkshake, lots of Scandinavian style cakes, light fillings, cheesecakes, ice creams, sweet dough, frostings, cookies, cupcakes, and so much more.

The app is easy to navigate, with clear recipe categories so you can quickly find what you are looking for. Each recipe opens with a large photo and an introduction, followed by clear directions, a place where you can write your own notes, recipe notes, and step by step photos to guide you through the recipe from beginning to end.

Ratings and reviews

The app is worth it given it's a one time payment. The directions are detailed and I like that she posts a step by step pictures which is very helpful for someone who never cooks to follow. It would also be superb if they could include videos. The app has an issue with browsing, when I browse all the frosting recepies some doesn't come up, it only comes up when I search for it. Other than that, it is a wonderful app.

I just purchased this app yesterday for the 1st time. I tried creating a new profile and it would not let me no matter what. It kept giving me an error message. I've tried messaging both the app tech and customer service email from the receipt showing a screenshot of the error message. I still have not heard from them. I would like a refund please.

As a Pastry Chef of 22 years, I decided to check out this app. There are some decent recipes. There are far more bad recipes. There are errors within directions. Example: Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe talks about Butterscotch Buttercream in the directions. Overall I would say this would be good for a home cook not a professional. Also, avoid any of the Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipes if you want to keep your sanity. Every single one is flawed.
