Invaluable if you ever supply a school, church or bazaar June 28, 2001

Do you ever need to make a 'production batch' of cakes? Someone says 'we are running a cake stall - can you..?' This book has the basic recipes you need for these occasions, with enough variations that you can come up with two or three or more types of cake (individual or tray bakes) or one or two larger ones any time you need them. I especially like the lemon cake topping - crunchy, sweet, sharp, and incredibly easy! The way it is laid out makes it easy to work out that (for example) the Queen Cake recipe makes an eight-inch sponge if a single cake is wanted. I have recommended this book to a lot of people.
this really is the best cake book ever October 8, 2004

I've had this book for probably getting on 20 years, and it keeps coming out time and time again!
It has fabulous easy to follow recipes, and with ingredients usually found in the cupboard. Only today my 12 year old made 4 recipes and was thoroughly satisfied with herself-she is my 3rd child to now use it!
Our book is falling to pieces and covered in cake mix, but we've all had great fun using it. You would never believe there were so many different cake recipes, and so easy and tasty too!
You do need to double or one and a half times the quantity of some of them though! I actually came to Amazon looking for a replacement and ended up writing a review as well.
Best and easiest cake book ever written! April 2, 2006

I started baking using this book at about the age of 11. Thats how easy this book is to use! Ten years on and its still my favourite baking book!A large range of recipes for tray bakes, small cakes, large cakes, no bake cakes, scones, children, and biscuits. Each recipe has a little introductory sentence which recommends each cake for a particular occasion. Helpful tips on how to store the cakes and a fantastic introduction make this book really easy to use. All the cakes I've made from this book have worked really well and been very tasty! The only draw back is lack of pictures but in the hardback version there are a few. In fact I find pictures often put you off making the cake as it looks too difficult! Highly recommended!
what a life saver!! January 6, 2003

This book is easy to follow and the recipes very easy to make.
Faced with an unusually large hungry horde decending on us for Christmas, I was desperate to get my freezer full of goodies beforehand. This was a life saver for me and I would recommend it to anyone who cooks for charity, coffee mornings or just family visiting with the grandchildren, who is looking for good results, simply and quickly (and in my case, large quantities!!)
The only cake book you'll ever need - several times over. October 24, 2003

My 10 year old twins and I have used the recipes from this book so often it's falling to pieces and splattered in cake mix.Lots of delicious recipes, such as the mincemeat brownies, and the can't-go-wrong chocolate cake, didn't. With toppings we hadn't come across before. Only one small niggle - some of the recipe amounts did not seem to fill the tray size specified - or did someone nibble the raw cake mix. Would love to see this as a spiral bound with washable surfaces.
You'll use it again and again.
