 Delicious October 15, 2008
I purchased this book a few months ago and am so happy I did. It has become my favorite read. I have made several of the cakes and each time, that cake becomes my family's favorite. Warren has written the book in such a way that makes it easy and fun. Several of the ingredients were a little difficult for me to find, but thanks to online shopping I was able to accomplish and purchase what I needed.
Any library including dessert and baking cookbooks will find this an attractive, popular lend October 13, 2008
Renee Comet's fine color photos add spice and attraction to CAKE LOVE, a survey of inspired scratch cakes that pairs the author's notes with step-by-step easy instructions on the art of baking. From pound cakes and cupcakes to sponges and layered cakes, chapters cover all the basics of ingredients, equipment and techniques, and pair this with a lively text and inviting recipes. Any library including dessert and baking cookbooks will find this an attractive, popular lend.

Great Cakes! September 30, 2008
I've had cakelove cakes and they are delicious. The book is pretty helpful in breaking down the recipes, I can't say my cakes are as good as Warren's (they're not), but this is a good book overall.

This book lets you peek into the world of professional baking and the inspiration that brings culinary genius. More than just a series of recipes, the reader learns tricks of the baking trade through the eyes of somebody with very specific likes and dislikes. I've made two cakes from this book so far and both have offered up so much more depth of flavor than the simple overwhelming sweetness found in most American cakes. The directions are precise (be sure you have a digital kitchen scale! and a working candy thermometer). Photos offer up inspiration as well as a step by step approach. The taste result is worth all the effort.
As a DC cakeloving resident, I vouch for Warren! August 16, 2008

I've been lucky enough to sample Warren's wares at Cakelove in DC, and I'm so thrilled that he has brought the recipes back to us, as cakeophiliacs. Five stars, Amazon - it doesn't get much better than this!
