Love, Manuela App Comments & Reviews
Love, Manuela Positive Reviews
MeasurementsI am not a skilled baker or cook however I do enjoy trying out new recipes. I purchased this app with reservations because I was skeptical of the conversion process since the recipes seem to be Scandinavian inspired. As a person who resides in the U.S. I would advise, as Manuela does to read the recipes entirely and convert grams to US measurements ahead of time. Additionally, I would prefer to have a simple list of ingredients. For instance, the carrot cake calls for 200 grams of almonds with skins, ground. I improvised with store bought ground almond flour however I’m not certain that I nailed the measurement. This is my only reservation..Version: 2.0
BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!DO NOT let the other Americans fool you! Manuela’s instructions are impeccable, precise, and easy to follow. I have never read more thorough instructions. I am an extremely experienced baker & I have never used recipes like Manuela’s. I am IN LOVE & wish every recipe I read was written & as informative as Manuela’s are. As an American I understand the frustration of having to use grams over volume, but as an avid baker I am painfully aware of how inconsistent imperial measurements are compared to grams. Also, as an American, I understand how stubborn, persistent and bullheaded other Americans can be when presented with facts. And the fact of the matter is that grams are superior to imperial measurements when it comes to baking. Period. I don’t understand all the whining I see in the reviews about converting measurements. Scales are not expensive nor are they difficult to use. Baking is about precision and Manuela’s recipes are that & so much more. If you can’t handle the heat get outta the kitchen.. or if you can’t use a scale, maybe try your hand at a cobbler or something.. idk. 🙄.Version: 3.2
Love this appI have had the Love, Manuela app for several months and I love it. I just purchased the 336 page Ganache Made Simple and cannot wait to try these new recipes. I got so excited to try new things, I ordered buckthorn berries through a wild ingredient website and found them to be very different and loved the tartness of them. Although, I do wish I had access to 40% fat cream, 36% is as high as I can find (if it’s even listed on the carton) as I live in the US, so, that’s what I use. But because of the lower fat content, ganaches aren’t as stable as I would like for my macarons, as it tends to be a bit more wet than I’d like, but they work great for cakes and cupcakes. Also, I love that the recipes are all in weight measurements, making it super easy to get the right amounts, every time. Thank you Manuela!.Version: 3.5
LOVE, LOVE this app!!!Everything I have tried in her app, has been so delicious. Ingredients are somewhat hard to find in my area, but ohhh so worth finding and using what she says to use. I’ve always hated butter cream frosting on cakes and now I don’t have scrape off the frosting. Thanks to her app I can now, enjoy the cake as a whole. My favorite so far is the Salted Caramel Ganache and Mousse both are so delicious, not overly sweet just melt in our mouth. I could eat it by the spoonful lol. The app is great value, super smart idea app instead of a book I think. There is more than just sponge cake and frosting but I’ve not tried them yet..Version: 3.5
The most amazing baking app !!I am so happy that Manuela developed this app. It is amazing!!! So easy to navigate, each recipe is well explained starting with an introduction, and following with the ingredients, directions, notes and even a video!! The 3D pictures are wonderful, they make you feel like you are already eating the desserts. I love the facts that I can even write notes for each recipe, it’s like having a baking book on my hand and open it with the magic of a click 😊. If you love baking as much as I do, I recommend this app. It is worth it 💯 per cent. A beautiful baking experience!!.Version: 1.2
Great in depth recipes & customer serviceThis app is very detailed and great for those who truly want to perfect their baking skills! I had originally been upset thinking I was being charged multiple times for this app, but I was mistaken as my partner had purchased something the same time and I had thought the app was a scam. The response from the developer reminded me that I had left the review and was able to log in and correct it. Not often do developers care enough to engage with their audience, and I am highly impressed!.Version: 2.0
Talented baker’s secretsThis is a great app and you get insights into all Manuela’s tried and true secrets. If you are an American, get a scale that uses grams. Mine used oz and while I’ve always liked the accuracy of weighing more than other measurements, I had to convert to use my scale here. Most of the world uses grams, so not a problem, just be aware. The only hard thing about the recipes is that they require ingredients you most likely do not have on hand like couverture white chocolate, coconut powder and potato starch. Still happy I got the app.Version: 3.5
Excellent for a new bakerIf you're looking for an exceptional cooking app, look no further than Manuela's app! The recipes are incredibly detailed and thoughtfully presented, ensuring that even the most intricate recipes are easy to master. Manuela’s comprehensive baker’s notes are a standout feature, providing clear, step-by-step guidance that eliminates any guesswork. I’ve already recommended this app to friends and family, and I’m excited to continue sharing it. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook, this app is a game-changer!.Version: 3.2
A Must-Have for Home BakersThis has become my go-to for recipes! Every recipe I've tried has turned out amazing and gets so many compliments. The instructions are incredibly detailed, easy to follow, and take the guesswork out of baking. I love how reliable the recipes are—everything comes out exactly as expected. Whether you're a beginner or experienced in the kitchen, this app makes it easy to create delicious results every time. Highly recommend!.Version: 4.0
Amazing!This app is amazing, all the recipes are absolutely perfect, the pics are beautiful and the directions couldn’t be more clear. I’ve made many desserts from Manuela’s app and everybody has loved them all. The extra pics included in the “Notes” area are really helpful when you want to make sure what you’re doing is like it’s supposed to be. You’ll never regret getting this app, it’s just a one-time payment and you get all the recipes and a new one every week. It’s a great app made by a great woman..Version: 1.3
You’ll need a kitchen scale, but the flavors are greatI didn’t realize that there wouldn’t be US conversions, so had to go purchase a kitchen scale. Once I got the scale the recipes were pretty easy to follow so far. However if I had known I’d need to purchase a scale I probably would not have purchased this app. The Scandinavian inspired recipes are tasty. Love the ability to search keywords and save recipes to your favorites list. I’m definitely more likely to reference this than a physical cookbook..Version: 3.5
The absolute best of the bestI bought this app because I saw her cakes on instagram and they always make me drool. I had to try out her Lemon Poppyseed blueberry cake out and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I’m not joking when I say she should change this to Million Dollar Cake because it sure did knock my socks off with flavor and texture! It hit just right for me. I highly recommend this app! I’m looking forward to making more of her cakes and desserts!.Version: 3.5
Wonderful Baking AppDon’t be skeptical of this app, it is well worth the money! All of her delicious recipes along with access to her step by step instructions with pictures. Best of all, she updates it with more recipes so you’re not having to worry about missing any. Manuela is also very responsive to questions you might have, just have to drop her a message on Instagram and she’ll answer it!.Version: 3.5
Delicious Recipes!I love how beautiful and detailed the app is with the recipes. It also helps that the ingredients are listed in grams vs cups. If you ever have questions or get stuck on something, you can message her and she’s responsive, which I love! Tried one of her cake recipes and really loved everything about it! Can’t wait to delve into some of the other recipes! I can tell that she’s put her heart and soul into making this app and her recipes amazing!.Version: 1.6
Beautiful App but...I love Manuela’s creations, which is why I was so excited to download this app. I’m excited to dive in and test out some recipes. My only complaint so far is that the screen does not fit an iPad, which is what I like to read the recipes off of. If the display would fill the entire screen I’d be much happier..Version: 1.3
Excellent Recipes, Clunky LayoutI’m in the US and the recipes in this app have opened me up to a whole new world of interesting techniques, especially lighter cakes and frostings/fillings that don’t rely on butter or oil. It’s been well worth the money for me. That said, the organization could be improved. The notes and troubleshooting tips are helpful, but often wordy, repetitive and not consistently placed recipe to recipe. Ingredient amounts are also unnecessarily repeated in the instructions. For me this makes recipes feel more complex than they are and makes them harder to follow. I often end up recreating my favorite recipes in my Paprika app just to simplify. Great content but it would really benefit from a more standard recipe structure and some editing..Version: 3.5
Bakes as BEAUTIFUL as the Baker Herself !Hands down one of the most easy to use and abundant resources and recipes, not to mention reasonably priced!whether you’re a professional baker , a home cook, or an enthusiast like myself! Amazing , easy to read recipes and FLAVORFUL! Not to mention the BEAUTIFUL soul behind it all Manuela is a helpful and generous with her time and feedback! The beauty , passion and dedication poured into the app and the recipes are UNMATCHED! Thank you for great recipes truly are a godsend ❤️.Version: 3.5
Love the app & recipes!!I’m blown about by this app and amount of recipes it has. The instructions are detailed and you can look through step-by-step pictures to make sure you’re doing everything right. The creator is the sweetest person; she personally answered my questions on Instagram and was super nice & helpful. Best $13 I’ve spent. If you’re a baker who likes less-sweet fillings and desserts, get this app!.Version: 3.2
KirstenSuch a beautiful app. Laid out so nicely with great pictures videos and very detailed methods. I wish they came in a printable form because even though it allows you to make your own notes I just love writing on recipes I guess I’m just old-school that way. Looking forward to making many of these recipes. It’s such a unique way of baking and so different from the United States..Version: 3.5
LOVE the App! Amazing recipes!I started a home bakery a few months ago, and I couldn’t find a better way to improve my products! Maluela’s recipes are incredible delicious, very well explained and if you still have a doubt, you can contact her and she will answer your questions and give you solutions and advices. The app is also beautiful and very cute, as everything she makes. I really recommend the app. The best $11 I have spent. Manuela is the best 💜.Version: 1.3
My Go To App for BakingI absolutely LOVE Manuela’s app! I have made several recipes and they are foolproof! Trust the process and you will have great results. I made my husband a key lime cake for his birthday today using the Vanilla Bean Ganache frosting and the Lime Créme Frâiche filling. Both so amazing! The app is well worth the price. I rarely purchase apps but this one I happily recommend to all my friends who are bakers. Thank you for such amazing recipes, Manuela!.Version: 3.5
Very Pretty and Delicious Desserts!!I can honestly say that I’ve had several of Manuela’s desserts and they are truly heavenly. I was very excited when she launched her cookbook but I am ecstatic about this app. I’ve been playing with it and it’s easy to navigate and the recipes are well thought out and written. I can’t wait to share my versions of her amazing sweets. Thank you Manuela! Please come back to Atlanta for a visit!! Love you!!.Version: 1.2
LOVEI absolutely love the recipes in this app!! I’ve made several over the years and all tasted amazing! I am having some issues recently upon opening the app. It doesn’t want to always open and will close out the app when trying to launch. Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon! Thanks!! 🩷.Version: 3.5
Love ManuelaLove Manuela’s app, it’s a baking app that’s full of amazing dessert recipes and is visually stunning and easy to use. Her detailed instructions are full of tips that guarantee a yummy and outstanding outcome. I can’t believe this app has over 100 recipes and more recipes get added weekly for a one time fee only. It’s like having a cookbook app that keeps growing with more and more delicious recipes from the very talented Manuela!.Version: 1.3
Love this app.Manuela’s recipes never fail me. They are easy to follow and everything tastes so delicious. She also answers your questions promptly. I know that when I follow her recipes what ever I am making will turn out amazing. I highly recommend this app. The app is also very easy to use, the photos and videos are great..Version: 1.6
Why?In the old app, before “improvements”, you could highlight ingredients to transfer the recipes to whatever cooking/shopping platform you use. But now that is not possible. I like the app, but it doesn’t give me the ability to store my own recipes on it or the ability to transfer recipes to a program that you use. You can’t even print the recipes..Version: 1.7
Best baking app i have!!The most amazing recipes are located in this app! The recipes are easy to follow and the cakes in here are so unique.

Top tier recipesFantastic app! Recipes are beautifully presented and well written. My only concern is certain recipes aren’t showing up the same on my iPhone as they do my iPad.
