5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL BOOK October 28, 2011
By JO
Format:Hardcover
I am giving this book 5 stars because two recipes I have tried, turned out wonderful. I have made the Apple Butterscotch Cake and Cranberry-Creme Fraiche, and both are really good! I did reduce the sugar in both recipes, but then I always do that in all recipes as I personally do not like overly sweet cakes. There is one error however, which I've noticed in Lady Bird Lemon cake, the butter was stated as 3/4 cup (287gm), I assume that the correct measurement should be 3/4 cup (172gm) or maybe 1-1/4 cups (287gm)? Ms Christie Matheson, if you are reading this, perhaps you could clarify on that? And this is a beautiful book, the photos are beautiful and would be great if more photos are included. Overall, I'm quite happy with this book. Am looking forward to try other recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars THAT Cake! August 12, 2012
Format:Hardcover
You know that really good chocolate cake you can only get at that expensive restaurant you only go to on special occasions? That perfectly dense, cake with the wonderful milk chocolate ganache? Ya that one. You should taste it right out of the oven!!! Page 46. I have been looking for this one for years! And I did it with the grocery store chocolate (the one with the G not the H or the N. I can't wait to try it with the chocolate she suggested!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet elegant July 3, 2012
By Elin
Format:Hardcover
I loved this book. When I picked it up I had been looking for a Tunnel of Fudge recipe. Much to my delight, it was in this book. I've made a few of the cakes now and each one has turned out wonderfully. So when you need a good looking and great tasting cake, a bundt, especially one from this book, is the way to go.

Just the right variety to be interesting but not so much as to be overwhelming. Also a plus, there are no outrageous/exotic ingredients that may be hard to find in some locations.
