Praise

“The cakes included here are designed for ‘day-to-day moments that warrant a spark of joy.’ And how joyful they are!

“. . . creative new classics divvied up by the type of cake pan that serves them best.”

“Innovative. . . New bakers will find comfortable possibilities here, such as the Russian Napoleon Cake that uses a packaged, rather than homemade, puff pastry. Bakers with developed skills will also find new flavors to try. Top picks include the delicious birthday cake with malt powder in the batter and frosting, and the salted butterscotch fudge sheet cake, which is too yummy for words.”
