.Good Food, 101 Cakes and Bakes (Good Food)
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: BBC Worldwide

July 15, 2004
I just started baking recently and brought this book after reading most of the reviews and I am glad that I did. I have tried a few receipes and the results have been amazing. My family have flipped through the book and left tags on certain pages of the cakes that they wish for me to bake for dessert time.

.How to be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: Nigella Lawson

October 02, 2003
I absolutely love this book.

Mouth-watering recipes with honest & humerous additions and explanations to encourage you through them. Although some of the recipes look & sound a little advanced you never know until you try, and as the author explains some of the most wonderful recipes are created by mistake.

Admittedly i've mostly attempted sweet treats but the Cornish Pasty recipe was divine, I substituted the mince for butternut squash and made a vegetarian version. Thats another bonus of this book, many recipes have variations at the end, meaning once you've got your confidence you can experiment safe in the knowlegde that it wont ruin it by changing bits.

My book is covered in splashes of this ... Read More:

.Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book: Over 200 Classic Recipes
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: Mary Berry

June 05, 2003
My Mum gave this to me as a present several years ago and I haven't looked back since. I had failure after failure with cakes until I got this book. Very easy to follow and great results. I have had to adjust some baking times due to having a fan oven. It has given me so much confidence that I have now entered the local horticultural society's baking competitions for different cakes and have been over the moon to get lots of 1st and 2nd places. I also do the traybakes and cakes for my son's local rugby team (U18's) which are always cleared away, even the crumbs! My favourite cookbook of all time, thank you, Mary Berry, from a once reluctant baker.

.Fresh Bread in the Morning from Your Bread Machine
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: Annette Yates

My husband bought me this book for Christmas and I haven't looked back. The recipes are great and exclude the sugar and skimmed milk powder nonsense that came with the recipe book for my machine. Every loaf has come out perfectly (I have a Panasonic SD253) - I have even braved the free-form ones using the dough programme and had great results (The Italian loaf is to die for). On the rare occasions we buy bread now, we notice just how sweet it is, and just how many alarming ingredients there are listed on the packaging! I can't recommend it highly enough.

.The International School of Sugarcraft: Beginners Bk.1
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking

I bought this book on a whim and have just completed my fifth cake and am in the process of devising my sixth cake - the pictures and instructions are brilliant, I had never iced a cake before and now feel competent enough to make them for people other than family! Would highly recommend this, and looking at other peoples reviews am going to buy book 2! Well worth it.

.Cupcake Magic

I have purchased Kates cakes so I just had to buy her book and have a go. They are fantastic - her receipes and ideas are brilliant and you won't be disappointed. The pictures are stunning and even if you don't get round to baking the cakes, it is a lovely book to look at and have out in your kitchen.

.Kids' Birthday Cakes ("Australian Women's Weekly") ("Australian Women's Weekly")
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: Susan Tomnay

July 10, 2006
This was the first book I bought before starting classes in cake decorating. Although I am more advanced now I found I could acheive really good results with this book when I had limited skills and knowledge. They are simple enough to do when you have young children around that want to help. My grandchildren all helped decorate their own birthday cakes chosen from this book, we started with the pirate ship with chocolate bar gang planks. Although sometimes you have to be a little inventive and substitute some of the sweets that are not readily available here, part of the fun is thinking up alternatives to use in the planning stage with the children, and they were very good at coming up with ideas of what to use instead.

.Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World: 75 Dairy-free Recipes for Cupcakes That Rule
City Travel Guides > Books > Baking
by: Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero

April 03, 2008
I was shocked to see that most recipes use Soy Milk/tofu which is proven to be very unhealthy, as soy is only good when it's fermented! Beside that, it also uses a lot of Margarine, which is also proven unhealthy and canola oil. :(
The pictures are nice though ...
