Dewey Decimal Number: 641.8653 EAN: 9780688044022 Edition: 8th ISBN: 0688044026 Label: William Morrow Cookbooks Languages: Manufacturer: William Morrow Cookbooks Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 592 Publication Date: September 20, 1988 Publisher: William Morrow Cookbooks Release Date: September 20, 1988 Studio: William Morrow Cookbooks Editorial Review: Product Description: "If you ever bake a cake, this book will become your partner in the kitchen." -- from the foreword by Maida Heatter This is the classic cake cookbook that enables anyone to make delicious, exquisite cakes. As a writer for food magazines, women's magazines, and newspapers, including The New York Times, Rose Levy Beranbaum's trademark is her ability to reduce the most complex techniques to easy-to-follow recipes. Rose makes baking a joy. This is the definitive work on cakes by the country's top cake baker. The Cake Bible shows how to: Mix a buttery, tender layer cake in under five minutes with perfect results every time Make the most fabulous chocolate cake you ever imagined with just three ingredients Find recipes for every major type of cake, from pancakes to four-tiered wedding cakes Make cakes with less sugar but maximum flavor and texture Make many low- to no- cholesterol, low-saturated-fat recipes Amazon.com Review: Rose Levy Beranbaum is a kitchen chemist extraordinaire--this, after all, is the woman who wrote her master's thesis on the effects of sifting on the quality of yellow cake. In The Cake Bible, she explains the science behind types of leavening, the merits (or not) of sifting, melting chocolate, preheating ovens, and more. There are precise and detailed instructions for intricate wedding cakes as well as cakes that can be mixed and in the oven in five minutes. In addition, nutrition information is included with every recipe. Cake scientist Beranbaum doesn't forget the art, either; pencil drawings teach novice bakers how to create a garden full of flowers from royal icing and mushrooms from piped meringue. It's no wonder that the International Association of Culinary Professionals picked The Cake Bible as their cookbook of the year for 1988--this book has something to teach bakers at every level.

 Rating:  - great bookgreat book if you are into baking cake. I love the yellow cake receip and other if worth the money Rating:  - Great cake bookThis is the book I have been lking for. This book is written by a very careful baker Rose Levy Beranbaum. It is suitable to anyone who is interested in baking excellent cakes. It is not suited to the casual baker who just wants to turn out a good edible cake. It gives not only the recipe but also the theory behind all the details. This enables the baker to adjust the recipe to what is wanted but to use what is available and afordable without compromising quaity too much. It frees the baker from rigid formulas. It enables creativity. Rating: - Essential, but...This is a great book for any aspiring cake baker. Many of the recipes are the best I've encountered. Other reviewers have already noted some of the flaws ~ the poor binding being the worst thereof. Expect the photograph section to fall out. The reviewer from TN also hit on a problem, at least for me, that many of these cakes have - Ms Berenbaum apparently prefers every cake to have exactly the same texture - with a very fine, dry, powdery crumb that "melts in your mouth" - so she says - but I'm saying have a glass of something to drink handy. Add that tab. of oil. I don't agree with the reviewer's idea that cake flour beats all-purpose for every cake, and the pineapple up-side-down cake in this book is a case in point. The fine crumb, just fine for a wedding cake, is a mismatch for this sort of rustic cake, perfect in every other regard. As to the caution from one reviewer about following the recipes to the letter, that's always wise for pastry making, especially for beginners. If you think you don't need to follow the recipe precisely, why bother with books? I've never had a cake made from this book fail. Rating: - Simple, yet fancyThis book is awesome! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes baking and decorating cakes.
