review 1: I've tried some of the recipes in this book. They worked beautifully. There 're her videos in Youtube for techniques and tips to help you fully understand how to make a cake. I'm a beginner and I find this book very helpful. The specific things she described are good for they prevent many mistakes. I haven't try to do the toppings which seem so much complicated but just the cakes 're good. I've used 9" pan and also baked them as cupcakes with the same recipe and it works very fine. I love Southern Coconut Cake that use coconut milk instead of milk. Very delicious.
review 2: While the cakes in this book look gorgeous, and are probably quite delicious, my first impression is that this book is for someone who has much more time and patience in the kitchen than I.... more Every recipe has a ton of complicated steps, or if not complicated, then at least time-consuming. The woman has found a recipe that makes making Whoopie Pies complicated for crying out loud (step one for the filling is making a sugar syrup - seriously?)The pictures are gorgeous, and there are many clever ideas within its pages, but the fact that in the author's introduction she says she now, "more than ever, value[s:] simplicity over complexity" gives me pause and causes me to break out in cold sweats imaging what her earlier cookbooks must contain.You can never truly judge a cookbook until you try out its recipes, so I fully intend to choose one or two (perhaps the Marionberry Shortcake or one of the several sinful-looking chocolate creations) and give them a whirl before I actually rate this book, but it will have to wait for a quieter day. less
