Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Genoise recipe instructions are lackingI bought this book a couple of years ago because I was considering making my own cake. I consider baking a hobby anyway, so I knew regardless I would eventually get some use out of it. There are a lot of recipes I still want to try. All in all I like the book. There is a good bit of detail in how to go about preparing, baking, assembling, etc. I would say this book is not for a newbie, but not for a seasoned baker either. It's for people like me who have a pretty good idea what they are doing but would like instructions from beginning to end. I have two basic complaints about this book. First of all, if you want to make a cake exactly as described it's fine. It also has certain combinations of cake sizes and all the necessary amounts of icing, syrup, etc. It should really break it down into specific amounts per cake size(e.g. you need X cups filling, x cups icing, x cups soaking syrup for x size cake). I'm sure I can figure this out with some effort on my own, but it would really have helped alot to have had that broken down. Second, the genoise recipe instructions just aren't specific enough. The first time I made the espresso genoise it was completely flat, rubbery, and inedible. I did some research on other genoise recipes. Using a combination of techniques my second try was perfect (and delicious). Also, it would have been nice if the author would have warned in the beginning description of any genoise recipe that this is apparently a very finnicky cake. If you do one little thing wrong it will be flat and horrible. Maybe experienced bakers or Europeans may already know this, but I was completely unprepared. Rating:  - The Wedding Cake Book Did Not Taste So GoodDisappointed with the book... lovely pictures... I returned it to Amazon, due to my expectations not being met. Cannot and will not recommend this to anyone who is more than a beginning baker. Rating:  - Don't judge a book by it's coverI bought this book looking for new ideas. I have been baking wedding cakes for family and friends for years and I am now doing my son's. Notice they don't show you any pictures of cakes in the, "see inside", section that is because they are all ugly except the one on the cover. Fortunately, with Amazon you can make returns easily. Which I did immediately. Rating:  - Excellent!This book has all the techniques needed to make your wedding cake. Even for basic cakes it has lots of details on trimming and cooks secrets to perfect looking cakes, and lots of delicious recipes.
