 Wonderful recipes July 3, 2008
Haven't tried a recipe from this book yet that has failed in any way. The recipes are really excellent and her presentations are out of this world. Although some are quite labor intensive, the outcome is worth the effort. Highly recommend this book to any aspiring baker who wants to make an impact or impress with a cake. Wonderful!
 Cake bible- confusing June 21, 2008

I think a book called "A cake bible" should have step-by-step instructions. I found this book confusing.

I thought it was just me until I read these reviews. I am a busy working wife and mother who has tried many times over the last 9 years to make cakes from this book with no success. I like the flavor of the white whisper cake but like all of the cakes in this book I have to double the recipe to get enough batter to make a decent sized cake. And yes, they never cook in the center. I am throwing this book out so I won't be tempted to waste my time trying to make her recipes work.

This is one of those learning books. I have learned so much about the science of baking a cake! Watch out Alton Brown! Seriously, if your are very interested in everything about cakes this is the book for you. The only reason I gave is four stars is because most of the recipes I tried weren't phenomenal. She makes them sound sooo good, but I wasn't blown away. I do, however love this book, only because it has taught me everything I know about cakes, and has helped me develop my own recipes!

This is a great cake recipe book. Rose knows how to turn out great recipes. You can make better cakes using this cookbook than going to the store and buying those cake mixes. You'll get more compliments too. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to use this cookbook. Just go buy butter, cake flour and fresh eggs.
