Martha Stewart's Cakes: Our First-Ever Book of Bundts, Loaves, Layers, Coffee Cakes, and More: A Baking Book

I love to bake and I love cakes and I got very tired of looking up recipes online only to find most of them based on cake mixes. If been using a lot of Martha Stewart's record and decided it would just be easier to have a book. I looked through a variety of her books and picked this based on reviews and content. I am so not disappointed! The recipes are well written, good hints and tips, beautiful photos, lots of extra touches. The cakes are amazing, the frostings wonderful (there are a ton of frosting recipes). I wish I could make a different cake ever day. My only complaint is that this isn't helping my diet, but it sure satisfies my desire to bake and my sweet tooth.

The book has a range of cakes, and at least one recipe works for whatever set of tools or ingredients you have and however much and time and effort you're up for. The recipes are clear, and whenever you need to learn a new technique for a recipe, there is a helpful collection of instructions at the end of the book. All the cakes come out great and please the crowd. I have never had one of these cake come out badly, except for when I accidentally deviated from a recipe.

As always I'm a huge Martha Stewart supporter and I had to buy this book as soon as I saw it was available. It's part of her other series of books like Cupcakes, Cookies and Pies/Tarts. I had to get this to add to my collection.I noticed some differences in the fonts used throughout the book when comparing to the older books but it's still fine. I still love it and the recipes are fantastic! You can never go wrong with a Martha recipe! I've made a few things from here already and everything has turned out delicious! If you're looking for a cake book, this is it and it's pretty easy for beginner cake bakers!

This is the best book I have ever bought. So far, I have baked 8 of the recipes and have repeated a few of them. The recipes are easy to follow, particularly for an amateur like me, but the final product is amazing.

As usual, Martha Stewart has delivered a comprehensive, reliable group of recipes. There are lots of pictures which I love. But when, oh when, will Martha give us spiral bound books???? This does not lie flat and it is so difficult to use it!!!

Lo amo, muy buenas recetas y faciles de hacer.

As soon as I receive this today, I baked Martha pumpkin spice cake and let me tell you it was on point. Can’t wait to try more recipes from this book.

This book is similar to her other books on Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pie & Tarts. I have enjoyed the other ones and I will enjoy this one as well. There are a good variety of recipes, both common recipes, as well as some unusual ones. A few that are looking particularly appealing to me are the Molasses-Spice Cake with Cream Cheese-Sour Cream Frosting and Brown-Sugar Glaze(a lot of hypens but sounds delicious, especially for fall), Strawberries-and-Cream Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue Cake, and Cheesecake with Poached Apricots. Some of the features of the book that I really enjoy are having a color picure of each recipes, and having a list of all recipes at the front of the book under each chapter heading so you can easily glance through to find an appealing recipe or see if a recipe is included for a particular cake you are looking for.
