The instructions are very detailed and suitable for all levels of cake decorators from the very first beginner to the experienced chef! Rose also has a website dedicated to addressing many of the questions and problems bakers have so check it out, it will come in handy! realbakingwithrose.com

Wonderful collection of homemade cakes, cake fillings, and frostings! Good section on how to correct baking problems you may have had in the past. Great book for new and experienced cake bakers.

The Cake Bible truely is the definitive word if you are interested in creating cakes from scratch. The book was recommended by a cake decorating instructor with years of experience. It is both technical (why the ingredients interact) and inspiring (perhaps I CAN make that raspberry filling).

If you have ever just wondered what the difference was between a sponge cake and a butter cake or you actually want to experiment with different cakes and frostings, this is the book for you.

Love this book it is very informative I have tried a couple of recipe's and they are fantastic. I seen one of the chef's from Ace of cakes talking about it and decided I needed it just because it sounded great and it truely is thank you for your time.

This is a very detailed book about baking Cake,
it tells you the rules and things to avoid and things to be aware of when baking your favorite cake. It also tells you what you need in terms of tools and proper preparation, The only negative I could say is, It can be a bit intimidating especially for the first time cake baker HOWEVER that is the beauty of this book- It is basically your guide to make a perfect cake-JUST Follow the example and you'll have that Triple Layer Devil's Food Cake in no time.

I was making a wedding cake for the first time for my daughter. I found the
book extremely useful in understanding the methods for making frosting etc., the book is excellent for a first timer.

I was a professional cake decorator for 8 years. I love to learn new things. This is a great book. I bought two, one for me & one for a friend.

I love that the art of baking is described in full detail with much fervor. It is obvious, even to the nonbaker, that the writer is clearly passionate about the art of baking.[and yes, it is an art]This book is full of masterpieces. From the everyday to the spectacular, it covers the spectrum of any cake you may desire to create. It also has color illustrations to prove the beauty of such creations are possible. This book is a must have for the serious baker. I would give it 4 thumbs up!

I bought a cake bible book from this seller. is arrives promptly and matches the description. i really like the book and would love to make transaction again with the seller.

This was a gift for my sister, who is interested in baking, this is the first gift I ever given to her that she was so happy with, the book was in new condition and it didn't take long to arrive.
This is the best cake book so far that I have seen, it is great for beginners and also for more experience baker.
I would recomned it.

What I love about the book is that tells you even how to store the cake or frosting or how many hours could be at room temperature, tells you the secrets to make perfect frostings and all the variations you can have. Definitely the best book about cakes!

This book has everything you need to know about cake baking. It also includes other recipes such as sweet breads, fillings, frostings, etc. The information is detailed and easy to understand. The directions are clear and consise, so it's like having a pastry chef in your kitchen to instruct you. There is much added information about ingredients and how they interact with each other. It includes a section on equipment and its use. It also includes large volume recipe's for wedding cakes as well as invaluable tips and preperation information. I love this book and have bought one for each of my daughters as well as for other family and friends.

I bought this book for my mother who loves to collect cook books and she really loved the book because of all the information it had in it.

I am a cake decorator always looking for something new to try.
This book arrived while on vacation, but am looking forward
to trying new recipes.

This book is a must have for the cake baker in all of us. Makes a wonderful wedding gift. A classic cook book for all!

This is an excellent book - very well written.

The best thing about this cake cookbook is that the author explains things to you so you can easily adapt a recipe to a different flavor or style because you understand how the recipe works. All of the cake recipes are prize winners, but you can take any one of them and make it your own.

I'd buy it again and plan to give this book to several people for Christmas!

The Cake Bible offers a variety of cake recipes for butter cakes, genoise, egg-foam. Even pancakes and waffles. There are also dozens of recipes for frostings, glazes, and fillings. And if that isn't enough, there is tons of information on cake baking basics:ingredients, utensils, the hows and whys of cake baking. The author doesn't just present recipes, she gives background information on why the recipe works. She offers suggestions for how to pair a cake with a frosting. She also offers a new way to mix a cake to prevent one from over-mixing the batter. Her way can be adapted to ANY cake recipe and the cake is pretty much guaranteed to come out tender, moist, and absolutely delicious.
