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

October 05, 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 > Cakes
by: Nigella Lawson

October 02, 2003
Nigella Lawson goes out of her way to convince the reader that it is oh-so-easy to bake mouthwatering cakes and achieve a wonderful sense of satisfaction as a homey domestic goddess...unfortunately, after trying 70% of the recipes in her book and following them exactly, the only thing I feel like is a frustrated domestic failure. I don't know why everyone else raves about this book so much, but I suspect it might be just because it looks good on the shelf, and there's no doubt about it, the photos really do look wonderful. But I'm not convinced that all the positive reviewers have tried many of the recipes, and if they have I would love someone to let me know how I could modify them so that I too can feel like a domestic goddess?

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

July 03, 2003
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.

I have tried several recipes from this book and the end result have always been scrumptious. My family's firm favourite at the minute is the carrot cake.

.Kids' Birthday Cakes ("Australian Women's Weekly") ("Australian Women's Weekly")
City Travel Guides > Books > Cakes
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.

.Cupcake Magic
City Travel Guides > Books > Cakes
by: Kate Shirazi

March 01, 2008
Being new to the cupcake scene I decided to buy a little book for inspiration. Cupcake Magic has provided just that! Not only does it have recipes for icing and cake mixtures but also decorating ideas-with instruction and pictures too. If you are a bit of a novice to cake making (like me) this is the perfect book but I'm also guessing that if you're an experienced cupcake Connoisseur, this will provide some great ideas and a whole lot of inspiration. Another couple of bonuses are the light hearted way it is written and the onus on freerange!

.The International School of Sugarcraft: Beginners Bk.1
City Travel Guides > Books > Cakes
by: Nicholas Lodge, Janice Murfitt

November 11, 1998
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.

.Real Food: Gluten-free Bread and Cakes from Your Breadmaker (Real Food)

This book is excellent. The recipes really work and are nothing like the dry dreadful bread found in health shops. I very often make the muesli loaf and it works out every time - guaranteed! I highly recommend this book!
