Bake a Cake a Day
Annotation:This must be included if only to mention Nigella's ever reliable Madeira Cake on page 5, her 20 odd chochlate cakes with the near perfect sour-cream chochlate cake. If you get a chance try her Chochlate Guiness cake a firm favourite from everybody I know aged 1-89, which is not in this volume but is in several of her others-she must like it too!
Place a Hold
Annotation:Easygoing, carefree cookery that has a recipie for every cakeish lovin' lunchbox.
Annotation:Rather a strict cook book-no skipping steps and mind your measurements! The emphasis is on texture and simplistic "pure" presentation. She gets rather firm with the reader on occassions-refusing to cut down quantities as it simply cannot be done! Her Hot Milk Cake is already a fav with my lot and one i will repeat. I do like her and her self-labelled American European approach of "cook a few things but exceedingly well, with organic ingredients" -this is surely something we can all aim for.
Annotation:Fantastic diversity of baked goods-there are the usual suspects as well as the odd old favourite-all mixed with fairy tale fantasy girl dress-ups and tales of long ago. I'm ordering my own copy now!

Description
Cake and more crumb delights. This listing seeks to explore a diversity of cake making - avoiding those show pony tooth paralyising over decorated cupcake numbers and manuals of baroque birthday cake horrors. Cake making is like parenting-the approaches are endless and here are a few favourites. I like a cake with a bit of textural substance-where the icing on the cake is really just the icing!
