Product Description

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." -- Amazon.com

Synopsis
Providing countless solutions and tips for commonly encountered baking problems, this comprehensive cake cookbook provides precise instructions for baking and decorating spectacular special-occasion cakes of any size up to eighteen inches in diameter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for the serious cake baker, 29 Jul 2005
This review is from: The Cake Bible (Paperback)
I bought this book a number of years ago and it is well thumbed. If you not only want to know how to bake cakes but also the science behind it this is the book for you. It is an easy to read book. Each recipe is clear to follow, and there is usually suggestions for alternative flavours and details of the structure of the finished cake. There are lots of useful hints and tips about just everything you could want to know to make perfect, beautiful and unusual cakes. To date I can honestly say I have not baked a bad cake using the recipes in this book. Don't buy this book if you want to make a quick cake, but if you have a spare few hours indulge yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding cake making, 17 Sep 2006
By amwal100 (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
This is the book for you if you want to understand the chemistry of cake-making. If you are the sort of cake-baker who likes to fiddle with recipes, Rose Berebaum has been there before you. Invaluable guidance on increasing and decreasing the size of a recipe, as well where to buy difficult to find items. After 15 years of owning this book it is still my best bedside read. If you follow her (prescise) instructions you can't fail to produce fabulous cakes. Not aimed at the beginner but it will take you through to the heights of cake-making.
