Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a small collection of cake books and most of them sit on a shelf in the kitchen. I look at the pictures every now and then thinking how much fun it would be to create this cake or that cake, until I look at the recipe and then decide I have better things to do.
I received "Gorgeous Cakes" as a Christmas present and was encouraged by the short recipes. My first cake was their "Classic Victoria Sponge Cake" on page 34. It is such a simple recipe that I made this cake in no time -- twice. It is a great cake to make when you need a good dessert in a very short amount of time. All of the ingredients, except for perhaps the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar, are ones that you would probably already have in your kitchen. Using this cake recipe as a foundation you can start branching out into other options, either of your own creation or move onto one of the many cake varieties given in this book, still using the same sponge cake base.
My second cake was the "Rich lemon curd cake" and wow, it was really, really good. This one I needed a little help with and with two people, and the help of my newly purchased double boiler, (and it wasn't really that scary to use after all), I soon had an amazing cake to share. This cake book is great for people of all different levels of experience, from beginners (sponge cake) to more experienced bakers (iced lemon loaf with crystallized rose petals). You may want to have your computer around to look up different cooking terms. Many of their cakes seem to require an 8-inch spring form cake pan so you might want to pick up one of those before you get this book. My next cake is going to be the "Black Forest Victoria" a spin-off of the classic sponge cake. I'm really looking forward to this!
