I usually take a cookbook out from the library to read before potentially buying。 I was on the wait list for this one but decided heck， I love cake。 May as well go for it！ This cookbook contains a solid collection of recipes， thoughtful layout， great baking tips， and beautiful photography。 I thought the bookmark ribbon was a nice touch as well。 I started at the beginning with Vanilla Bean Pound Cake （Raspberry Bundt version） and am going to bake through the book。 A delicious cake baked with love I usually take a cookbook out from the library to read before potentially buying。 I was on the wait list for this one but decided heck， I love cake。 May as well go for it！ This cookbook contains a solid collection of recipes， thoughtful layout， great baking tips， and beautiful photography。 I thought the bookmark ribbon was a nice touch as well。 I started at the beginning with Vanilla Bean Pound Cake （Raspberry Bundt version） and am going to bake through the book。 A delicious cake baked with love is one of my favourite things and I am glad I added this book to my collection！ 。。。more

This is a wonderful cake baking book for the novice and the experienced baker。 There are chapters that include ingredients and equipment as well as recipes for cakes， frostings and fillings。 The recipes range from easy to somewhat difficult and include all types of cakes。 I made the Vanilla Bean Pound Cake and the Confectioner's Sugar Icing and it was delicious。 It was also simple to make using ingredients that are in most pantries。 I plan on baking and making every recipe in this delightful boo This is a wonderful cake baking book for the novice and the experienced baker。 There are chapters that include ingredients and equipment as well as recipes for cakes， frostings and fillings。 The recipes range from easy to somewhat difficult and include all types of cakes。 I made the Vanilla Bean Pound Cake and the Confectioner's Sugar Icing and it was delicious。 It was also simple to make using ingredients that are in most pantries。 I plan on baking and making every recipe in this delightful book。 I've received a free copy from ten Speed Press in exchange for a free and unbiased review。 。。。more

The Book is as Marvellous as Zoe;nothing less ！I have been a “Zoe-follower” for so long and I have watched her IG live sessions on Saturdays。 But when she announced her CAKE book（she has several others dedicated to bread with another author），I was counting my days till this point。 THIS BOOK IS A GEM ！ This book opens with the quick guide/jump-to section so the reader can skip her bio（spans across next 5 pages） and plan the sweet adventure！ I love the ingredients section as she starts with critic The Book is as Marvellous as Zoe;nothing less ！I have been a “Zoe-follower” for so long and I have watched her IG live sessions on Saturdays。 But when she announced her CAKE book（she has several others dedicated to bread with another author），I was counting my days till this point。 THIS BOOK IS A GEM ！ This book opens with the quick guide/jump-to section so the reader can skip her bio（spans across next 5 pages） and plan the sweet adventure！ I love the ingredients section as she starts with critical and most of the time confusing ingredients for the homecook（chocolate varieties，dairy varieties and even egg varieties）。 However I wonder if I can buy 12 vanilla beans to make homemade vanilla extract。 This section is followed by equipment necessary for cake baking and decorating。 Next is where you master the cakes with the section of “Cake academy”。 And it spans across 32 pages！！！ This contains various techniques a baker should be known for to make a great cake。 And she didn’t share these tips in her Instagram as detailed as in the book ！ I love the instructional photos as well。 Seems so easy to follow even to an inexperienced baker（ I consider myself as an intermediate skilled baker）。 Then it's time we start to say oohs and ahhs over and over again ！！！ First wave of cake recipes are pound cakes，quick breads and bundts。 As a strong opinionated ambassador of baking with fruits（I saw this in her IG videos and posts），Zoe has reserved a whole chapter for baking with fruits（printed as fruit studded cakes-upside down or otherwise）。 And she encourages baking with in season fruits starting with a blueberry muffin cake。 And who's gonna stop me from trying a Cinco leches cake y’all ？ Yes I said CINCO ！ Oh I'm so excited ！Layer cakes，loaves and classic sheet pan cakes are the next chapter and I will have more respect for sheet cakes like never before from Zoe’s recipes。This section also features the book cover’s image;the hot chocolate cake ！ And her famous pavlova with prickly peaks is in here too ！Last but not the least， the recipe set for “fancy cakes” comes ！ Yes she said that ！ It's all fancy when we want to impress that special person and the special occasion。 Next birthday…。Next anniversary or next special feel good ordinary day。。Here lies some bespoke cakes ！Final two chapters are dedicated to icing。frostings，ganaches，fillings and flourishes（that’s what special about Zoe:her carrot peel candy，cool whimsical chocolate bark and candied hazelnuts）。You can own as many cake books。。 And you can follow as many baking blogs or instagram accounts。。 Or bake your forever favorite passed down heirloom recipes … BUT nothing is going to be as charming and serene like Zoe’s。 She has this hard to miss captivative vibe surrounding us and the dormant baker in each of us is just begging to come out and bake ！ And from what I saw… She has done the entire photography from her home（yes I said that seeing her IG lives）。 I don’t know its because of the COVID-19。But I felt welcome，included and feels like she is my friend who I can think and be happy about the bakes I do is from her。 We all need this kinda warm baking book in our lives ！ So irresistible to bake from this book ！I’ve received a free copy from Ten Speed in exchange for a free and unbiased review。 Thank you。 。。。more
