Dalla quarta di copertina

Fire up your ovens! With 176 sweet and sumptuous cake recipes within reach, it will be impossible to resist having your cake and eating it too. With her straightforward approach, chef Bev Shaffer walks bakers of all talents and tastes through a crash course in cake creation that results in decadent, gooey, fruity, rich, and remarkable treats.
Such exceptional entries as Macadamia Madness with White Chocolate Frosting, Frosting-on-the-Bottom German Chocolate Cake, and Dried Cherry Streusel Coffeecake with Silky Cherry Butter Sauce represent the tempting versatility of the cakes in this comprehensive volume. From Fresh Banana Cake with Mascarpone Seduction to Marmalade-Topped Sweet Potato Cake with Cinnamon-Infused Whipped Cream, there is something for everyone in this irresistible collection.
An introductory chapter on the basics of baking, simple tips for making great-looking cakes, and advice on everything from filling a pastry bag to freezing a cake will initiate even the most inexperienced baker into the wonderful world of cakes. Organized by type of cake--layer cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, coffeecakes and "flipped over" cakes, fancy cakes, snack cakes, Bundt cakes, and more--the volume goes on to include "slices of advice" throughout to explain useful techniques and tricks.
