Title: Poorly written, wasteful
Product review: I've tried two cake recipies from this book, the carrot cake and the german chocolate cake, and threw both out after hours of work. The cover says "easy-to-prepare," but these recipies are so poorly written that they require the cook to figure out a strategy. For example, the carrot cake doesn't mention that you need to prep the carrots, apple, yam, and pineapple ahead of time. Your batter could sit for 1/2 hr while you prepped these ingredients. The recipies are also wasteful. I threw out 2/3 of the oversweet frosting, which took 40 minutes to make and called for 2 pounds of confectioner's sugar. The german choc cakes were flat and the frosting goopy. Don't waste your time with this book.
