Title: A True Cake Reference Book. . .
Product review: I will echo the enthusiasm of the other purchasers of this book. Don't be fooled by the small size of the book; it is chock-full of recipes. The price per recipe must be lower than any other cake book I own! In general, the recipes are very well written, all business and no fluff.My only reservation would be giving this book to the cook without cake experience. I've got 25 years' experience in cake baking, so explicit techniques that are taken for granted here needn't be elucidated. For a beginner, though, the techniques of stirring vs. beating vs. whipping vs. folding, etc., might be unfamiliar. For those cooks, I'd still recommend Marion Cunningham's Fanny Farmer Baking Book.However, for someone who already knows how to bake cakes, this could be a most valuable reference, possibly the only all-cake book they'd need. It'll also make a fine gift! The beautiful retro-graphic design of the book is an added pleasure.
