The Pink Whisk Guide to Cake Making. Ruth Clemens

       Introduction

      Hello! Welcome to The Pink Whisk Guide to Cake Making: Brilliant Baking Step-by-Step. It’s full of delicious cake recipes for all sorts of occasions, with helpful step-by-step photos so you know you’re on the right track. Some of the recipes started out life on the blog but have all been thoroughly reworked (25 versions of Golden Syrup Cake later…) to make them even more delicious.

      This book is not just about the recipes (although of course they do taste great) – it’s about making all your cake making even better than before. The pages are loaded with tips and tricks and explanations as to why you should do a certain something at a specific stage – the sort of thing that’s missed out of most recipe books. You’ll then be able to apply these techniques to all of your cake making – turning you into a Cake Grand Master. They’ll be queuing up at the door for a slice!

      The book is split into three sections by method; creaming method cakes, whisking method cakes and melting method cakes. There are cakes for everyone and everything. Each recipe also has its own variation – change a bit of this and a bit of that and ta dah! – giving you inspiration to mix up your own flavour combinations.

      Don’t be frightened of experimenting or using a recipe as the basis for something else. The Ultimate Chocolate Cake, for example, makes an equally good teatime chocolate cake, a chocolate cake for decorating, huge muffins or even cupcakes – the world is your oyster, or the oven is your lobster. Whatever the weather get stuck in and make your cake baking brilliant!
