Great cake book	Customer Rating:
Love cakes - purchase this book. Note: only make half of the mixture for the toppings and fillings as otherwise too sweet and I have a sweet tooth but makes too much if follow recipe.

just one more...

No matter how many pounds you expend on this book you will get them all back, and more! They may not be the kind of pounds you want, but as you're standing on the scales seeing another stone clock up, you will, at least, be happy! These recipes are so feel-good! I mean, I never had 'Oatmeal Muffins' before but I feel like I've been eating them all my life, so nostalgic i feel munching into one. The recipes are fairly simple, and they always seem to work. The cakes are invariably FANTASTIC. Try the apple and walnut butterscotch layer cake. gee, that sure is the kind of cake momma used to make. What am I talking aabout? I don't speak like that.... but this book makes me, so good are these cakes.

I've been spoilt

Not entirely sure about this book - it arrived in the post and it was the pricest cook book I've bought in a long time because it's not discounted. Admittedly I bought it to meet the free delivery amount and reached for a brand (I really wanted to make the big coconut cake on the cover.) If you are used to new cookbooks with pretty pictures, this isn't for you. It's old school american format, a few pics in the middle. (It's printed 1999?) This one doesn't have the cupcake focus but since I didn't love the cupcakes in NY I'm not fussed. Plus the vanilla and red velvet recipes are widely available on the internet, including a video guide somewhere! (If you are ever there, the red velvet cake is gorgeous, plus you'd have to be very open minded about food colouring to make it at home). In debate about whether to send it back or not, mainly because price to love ratio is lacking. Then again, that chocolate cake looks nice on the cover...

Brilliant!	Customer Rating:
I was so excited when I received this book, all the recipes are amazing! I have made two of the cakes within this book, and I have to say I have never made such delicious and rewarding (let alone massive) cakes! Thank you Magnolia for this book it is lovely.

Mmmmm mmmmmm gooood!!!!!

I bought this book after having been to the shop earlier this year. It's amazing! I would agree with one of the previous people...you certainly don't need the amount of frosting they suggest. I made half the amount suggested for 20 or so cupcakes and was left with loads spare. Everything you make is so easy. My favourites so far have been the chocolate chip cookies. I would defo recommend this book, and I'll soon be buying the follow up to this!
