Rose's Heavenly Cakes
With Rose Levy Beranbaum’s help, your Angel Food Cake won’t be the only cake that turns out divine! In her latest book, the legendary author of The Cake Bible offers more than 100 expertly tested (and re-tested) recipes with savvy baking tips that ensure every cake is exceptional, every time. From glorious photography to the “Ten Golden Rules of Cake Baking,” everything about Rose’s Heavenly Cakes is…well, heavenly. Don’t just take our word for it. Beranbaum has been praised time and time again for her in-depth knowledge of the art and science of baking, as well as her talent for creating easy-to-follow recipes that ensure picture-perfect results. In fact, the New York Times says, “If ever there was a cookbook author who could place her hands on top of yours, putting you through the proper motions, helping you arrive at just the right touch, Beranbaum is the one.” For the first time ever, she offers foolproof recipes for exceptionally moist Oil Cakes, including “a ground-breaking astonishingly fudgy and tender chocolate cake,” along with Butter Cakes, Sponge Cakes, Mostly Flourless Cakes & Cheesecakes, Wedding Cakes—and they all taste sublime!

I have used the Cake Bible for years, and has been one of my two favorite resources for cakes (Paula Peck being my very first!) This one is even better in many ways. Many more pictures, still her signature detail and information, and some really innovative new recipes. Also, she stresses the value of weighing, and I have found that it gives much more consistent results. I will give copies to my girls for Christmas, knowing that they will learn, as well as enjoy!

Fantastic!

A great resource. You'll find a few repeat recipes in here; a few from the Cake Bible, a few from Rose's Celebrations. I do like the amount of pictures in this book though. Her other ones have not been as picture heavy and it always helps to see the end result as she envisioned.

Great enhancement to the Cake Bible. Although the recipes look complicated, Rose, once again is in my kitchen guiding me every step of the away with notes, highlights, recommendations and descriptions of stages to assure that beginner or professional will have a cake that matches the beautiful picture accompanying the recipe. I like that there is a full array of cakes from easy to complex covering virtually every type of cake for any occasion. Plus, I can get tips and testimonials from her blog and some 20 home bakers who are baking thru the book with weekly blog postings of their cakes and stories. I bought two to have one in my kitchen and one on the living room table just for the art in its photography.

THE way cakes are made!

Complex recipes, BUT the way to cook for consistant results. I found that the amount in a cup of flour can vary 10-15% if you don't weigh it. Some of the recipes take time and effort, but I haven't found one yet that was not worth it.
