Warren Brown wants you to bake your cake and eat it too. And
he wants you to conquer your fear of flour and learn to love
every step of cake baking—including, of course, the step in
which you present your made-from-scratch masterpiece to
bedazzled, hungry-eyed family and friends. (Not to mention
the moment when you yourself get to sample a slice of that
lovingly crafted creation.) For Brown, love and baking are inseparable. After all, he
abandoned an unrewarding career in law to do the work—baking
cakes!—that he finds truly emotionally satisfying. Every
page of CakeLove communicates that satisfaction, as well as
Brown’s can-do approach to the art of baking. As he asserts,
baking cakes isn’t a cakewalk, but it’s not rocket science,
either—and getting it right isn’t nearly as hard as you think. Pound cakes, butter cakes, sponge cakes, cupcakes. Glazes,
frostings, fillings, meringues. Brown provides all the
basics on ingredients, equipment, and techniques, as well as
recipes for more than 50 cakes that range from the classic
(Chocolate Butter Cake) to the adventurous (“Sassy,” a pound
cake made with mango puree and cayenne pepper). The
informative step-by-step shots make you want to run to the
kitchen and start baking, and the scrumptious color photos
of completed cakes look good enough to sink your teeth into.
