Product Description

Product Description
THis is a collection of over 200 recipes many of which are old favourites, traditional recipes but with new slants, emphasizing quicker finishes and easy decoration, for cakes that have style and quality. "Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book" is a guide for both the beginner and the experienced cook. In addition to basic methods outlined in the main introduction, Berry explains where extra care is needed and gives advice on choosing the best ingredients and equipment and storing cakes. A question-and-answer section to clarify any baking myths has been included, as has information on what to do to retrieve possible disasters. There's a special chapter on chocolate cakes, including Wicked Chocolate Brownies and Squidgy Chocolate Cake. Meringues, creamy cheesecakes and easy-to-make tray bakes (where the cake is cooked, cooled and iced in one tin) are also included. Special occasions and social functions are catered for and there are plenty of inexpensive ideas for the year-round requests to contribute to fetes and bazaars.

About the Author
As the writer of over 25 cookery books, Mary Berry has a well-deserved reputation as a highly successful and much-loved cook. She has made numerous television and radio appearances and has been a regular contributor to cookery magazines. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cakes to die for!, 9 Feb 2006
By Rachel Pryer (Petworth, West Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book a few months ago and have made several different cakes from it, and each one has tasted wonderful! My husband and children can't wait to see which one I've made this week and my friends say that the chocolate sponge is the nicest they've ever tasted! Easy to follow recipes with not-over-fussy ingredients. Highly recommended for those who like baking like me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, straight-forward baking., 13 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I have been using this book for years, and have never had any bad results. This book is ideal is you want to produce cakes with limited time available. Thanks to Mary's useful tip I often make large tray bakes using roasting tins lined with baking foil. Forty minutes later I have loads of cakes, ready to store in the freezer.

Having read and used Nigella Lawson's 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' book, I would have to say that I prefer this book, mainly because it is more accessible for everyday baking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book, 20 Oct 2005
By J. McCormack "julie28069" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book in January this year. I am at the beginner end of the scale and have found it an extremely good book with good explanations and helpful tips. I am about to purchase a second copy for my nephew's Christmas present as we have done quite a few recipes from it so far, with great success. The millionaire's shortbread goes down a storm every time and is very straightforward and a new favourite is the chocolate birthday cake, very rich and gorgeous. I would highly recommend this book as the recipes do not talk down to the reader at all but at the same time do not assume that the reader has any prior experience. All recipes have been successful first time and develops confidence, especially for those like myself who are just starting out. I am about to embark on my first Christmas cake and wouldn't consider using any other recipe other than Mary Berry's.
