Customer Reviews

Teenager very pleased!

I being a teenager and knowing practically nothing about baking, this book sure came in handy. I seem to always need to bake a cake for some occasion. I would recommend this book to all people who need a little boost in their baking knowledge.

All bakers need this book.

A truely excellent resource for all bakers. This small book has photos and descriptions of what the consistency of your batter should be at different mixing points. The book doesn't spend pages on descriptive text or childhood culinary memories and none of the ingredients listed are exotic. I even had all the ingredients and already owned all the utensils I needed to start cooking immediately. Trust me - just buy this book!

Comprehensive, informative guide to cakes.

This book, though small in size, offers a wealth of information on many varieties of cake -- cheesecakes, meringue cakes, whisked cakes, etc. Included are recipes, decorating methods, and useful tips.
