Quick and Creative Versatility!

We do a lot of large group entertaining, intimate dinners for small groups, and carry dishes to church, school, and people's homes. This book is a must. With just a few ingredients and a little time, you can create something delicious and hold your head proud. I enjoy using various pans for an added touch. Sometimes I'll pipe a little lemon curd, fruit preserves,or fresh fruit on top to guild the lily. If you use an oval pan, around 3x9 or so, you can get two cakes from one recipe. That gives one to take to a friend and one to keep for yourself at home. I find the recipes very versitle, which is great, depending on what you have in stock. I highly recommend it. Enjoy! <

An AWESOME Cookbook

I absolutely love this cookbook. Most of the ingredients can be kept on hand for those last minute dessert needs, recently discovered bake sale. The results are consistent and yummy. All recipes can be made using just a pot, a spoon and a baking pan so you will love the clean-up. This cookbook has a lot of variety -- some of my favorites are Amaretto Cake, Chocolate Almond Torte, and Vanilla Butter Cupcakes.

Simply The Best!

I have also never written a review for a book before, but I must say I couldn't pass this up! This is a staple in my kitchen. Whenever I have company, go over to someone's house, participate in an event, I know I can pull this book out of the cabinet and whip up something wonderful in under an hour. I hardly make desserts from anything else anymore, it's too much work!!! Bottom line: This should be a part of everyone's cookbook collection.

Terrific, easy, quick cake recipes.

I've made four cake recipes from this book already--all to rave reviews. I don't often find cookbooks with that kind of success rate. The cakes go together quickly--just as advertised. Mr. Schloss has an entertaining, informative, and encouraging writing style. I'm looking forward to publication of his next book: "One-Pot Chocolate Desserts."

Super-good and super-easy cakes, tortes, bars, icings

I've never written in praise of a cookbook but this one to me is a winner. I've cooked and baked for a family of 6 thru the years but now there's just my husband and me and we enjoy home baked desserts. Every recipe is GOOD and EASY and does not result in a huge end product that would be much too much for 2 people. The "Almost Linzer Torte" well - my mouth waters just writing the words. And the warm Brandy pudding cake with a dollup of ice cream. Great. I'm planning on buying copies for my daughters and daughter-in-law. Then maybe they'll invite us over!
