Beautiful, organized, and delicious recipes1Feb 08, 2010
I recieved this book for Christmas. I found the pictures in this book to be absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.
I also made a wedding cake for my brother-in-law's wedding. I tested out two cake recipes from this book; white butter cake, and yellow cake. They were both absolutely delicious and not at all too sweet or dry.
I also made the Swiss merengue buttercream which also turned out delicious was was a perfect complement to the cakes I made. Not too sweet, and a nice smooth texture.
I will definitely be referring to this book again and again and again when making any cakes.
