The Cake Mix Doctor Review


The Cake Mix Doctor: LadyD Books

From The Back Cover

Who could believe these cakes came out of a box? Moist, tender, rich, deep, and complexly flavored, without a hint of artificiality, each cake stands up and delivers. But without any of the fuss of baking from scratch. Anne Byrn, an award-winning food writer, and self-described purist create recipes that employ a cake mix's strengths---convenience, ease-of-use, dependability, and almost imperviousness to overbeating, under beating, overbaking, and underbaking. The Cake Mix Doctor




Review

I received this lovely book as a gift from my Aunt Margaret. She sure knows her cookbooks! Wow, what a description, "From Cake Mix to Cake Magnificent." The cake photos by Anthony Loew are so inviting. The best cakes and frosting recipes compiled by Anne Byrn are a hit with my grandkids, including the Spice Doughnuts near the back of the book.


We are fans of Marsha's Lively Lemon Bundt Cake, Cherry Dump Cake, Pumpkin Spice Cake, and Zucchini Spice Cake. The toppings are sensational, like Coconut Pecan Cream Cheese, Penuche frosting, and Fresh Berry Compote. Midway in the book are  Educational Baking Tips for Kids that my grandkids love!

Review


Can you imagine living is a place where every flower has a fairie and every fairie has a flower? In this gorgeously illustrated book, we learn of the crisis right away. You see, one fairy doesn't have a name because she doesn't have a flower yet. Further, along with the storyline, the remedy is revealed. One must learn 3 lessons and then Wild Rose will present the fairy with a flower! You will want to read this lovely little picture book!

5/5 stars! Beautiful illustrations!

A very popular book for ages 3 and up. It's a small hardcover book, so popular with little girls.


Happy Reading!
