A World Of Cakes

Description

As Marie Antoinette famously said, 'let them eat cake'. Well, that's just what this book will inspire you to do...and lots of it! There are just so many different types of cake: cupcakes, sponge cakes, fruitcakes, chocolate cakes, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, muffins - recipes for which, in every variation thinkable, can be found scattered throughout cookery books all over the world. Inspired by the notion that there's a story behind every cake, A World of Cakes rises to the challenge of putting all those soft, springy, moist and delicious cake recipes into some semblance of baking, historical and cultural context. A World of Cakes looks at the cultural traditions and celebrations of different countries through the eyes of the baker's oven. This book is filled with fascinating cake facts and fables but the dozens of scrumptious recipes really put the icing on the cake! A baker's bible and a must-have for anyone who likes to eat cake. The book, designed to look just like an enormous chocolate cake, looks good enough to eat.
