"Booze Cakes" is a joy to read. As stated on the cover, it offers recipes for "Confections Spiked with Spirits, Wine and Beer"--everything from an English Trifle to Tipsy Tiramisu to Tres Leches Cake. It also provides "Booze Cake Basics" including how various spirits are made and how much alcohol stays in baking.
I couldn't test all the recipes in the book. But one of them, Tres Leches Cake, produced the best cake I've made in over 40 years of baking. The recipes I tried were easy to follow and offered interesting variations and even some short cuts. And the heavy cover flaps helped keep the book open as I followed the recipes.
The recipes in this book will add new interest to your desserts and lots of enthusiastic compliments from your family and guests.
A helpful hint from "Moi" to those wanting a little more alcohol (kick) in your creations: After baking, get a spray bottle and put the alcohol of choice in it. Spray your creation several times, each time letting it soak in a few minutes before respraying, that way it won't get soggy. This will bump up the alcohol percentage after some of it has been baked out ;) I have a mini donut maker and do donut shots this way, and they are a huge hit at parties!!!!
Just delicious. There are a lot of neat ideas in this book. Perfect for the booze lover.
Edit: May 4th, 2013.
I made the honey beer spice cake (not sure of the name right now) for my cousins birthday and it was gone in less than 5 minutes. Super tasty! Highly recommend this yummy book.
Top reviews from other countries
The only negatives would be that it is American so all the measurements are in cups, and there are no conversion charts (although you cna look it up on the internet); and that for some of the recipes you need a few different sipirts (such as long island iced tea cakes) so you might have to buy a spirit that you won't use for anything else. There is a good variety of recipes though, so you should be able to pick ones that use alcohol that you have!
overall, if you like the idea of cakes and alcohol, I would really reccommend this book.
