Pokemonhas been around long enough and become a big enough deal during that time that the franchise has officially paired up with just about everything. Particularly food and drink these past few years as The Pokemon Company hasteamed up with McDonald’s to put Pokemon cards in Happy Meals, andKrispy Kreme to put Charmander’s face on a doughnut. Now Pokemon is letting fans put various other ‘mons on baked goods via the launch of an official Pokemon baking cookbook.
My Pokemon Baking Book launches on September 19 and you can pre-order a copy now through the link below. Published by Insight Editions, a publisher responsible for another official Pokemon cookbook and various other video game-themed culinary guides, My Pokemon Baking Book does exactly what it says on the cover. Its pages are filled with sweet and savory treats for everyone from amateur bakers to those who want to try their hand at something a little more challenging.

Since the book hasn’t been released yet, I haven’t had the chance to have a proper look at it. A sneak peek at some of its recipes has revealed some of the Pokemon that will be taking the form of baked goods, though. You can bake Bidoof’s face into a peanut butter pretzel tart, make a mint mocha cake inspired by Yamper, or cook up some little pink cupcakes with chocolate Igglybuff swirls on top.
My Pokemon Baking Book
My Pokemon Baking Book is an official cookbook filled with recipes inspired by the wide world of Pokemon. Published by Insight Editions and a follow-up to My Pokemon Cookbook which includes more general recipes.
My baking skills are subpar, but I think I might be able to just about handle some Igglybuff cupcakes. I tried my hand at a few recipes from The Nine Realms last year thanks toInsight Editions’ God of War cookbookand all went well, for the most part. Baking is a different beast, but I’m hoping something as welcoming and forgiving as Pokemon won’t punish me too hard if my cake doesn’t rise or, for some reason, my Pikachu pastries look more like Mimikyu.
Insight Editions already has a lot more video game cookbooks available outside of just Pokemon andGod of War. It has also published a pretty greatHalocookbook, and there are alsoMinecraftandDragon Agecookbooks available from the publisher. Insight isn’t the only publisher working on a new video game cookbook right now.Random House Worlds is launching a Stardrew Valley cookbookin 2024 which is also available for pre-order now.
