The Perfect Cake: Your Ultimate Guide to Classic, Modern, and Whimsical Cakes (Perfect Baking Cookbooks)

So far I tried a few recipes and all were good. Great directions and pictures. If you baked a cake from.scratch before or not you will get good results

I had a good feeling about this book and I was right :) This should be called "Baking from scratch" or something like that, it is perfect for a beginner like me, and talks about baking techniques (with helpful pictures), ingredients, and of course, it has a lot of excellent recipes.

I bought a savory book from America’s Test Kitchen during the prime day sales and likes the layout and additional info so much that I grabbed this one. I was doing cake and cupcakes for a wedding and literally switched out all my recipes for these 5 days before. The chocolate cupcake recipe alone is worth the entire book. Who knew you could bake them with ganache on top and it would sink down perfectly?! Saved me sooooo much time not having to core and fill 200 cupcakes. The yellow recipe was also delicious! There’s so many other awesome recipes I have yet to try but from an experienced baker - so worth it!!!

This cookbook is amazingly helpful for new bakers and those of us a bit set in our ways. Great for new bakers because it starts right off teaching you how to get started and includes many techniques. I bought one for me and one as a gift. I am in my 60's and I have learned some new methods for cake baking.

I absolutely love, love this book; every recipe, every picture, especially where ATK explains why a recipe works.

Good but they repeat many cakes from Cook’s Illustrated cook of baking!

I bought this with a kitchen aid stand mixer for my daughter but she was away in August so we just used the stand mixer the other bday do we have yet made any recipes but man do the recipes look amazing and let me tell you this is a great book. It is very informative and the quality is impeccable. I highly recommend this book!!!

I purchased looking for new wedding cake recipes and the cover photo intrigued me. Turned out to have way more than I expected! No matter the favorite recipe book you already use, this would be a great addition. Packed with many dessert options including ice cream cakes you'll find an interesting favorite in no time. Has gluten free options for chocolate cake. Very satisfied with purchase I recommend.
