Thank you a Traveler! I just took a look at it. I love her cake books and have some of them. I will order it.

Oh no... how much is this thread going to cost me?

I got my answer... $17.85
Fortunately, I have Amazon points so I got it for free!
Thank you for posting - this is the first I've heard of the author and I think I'm going to cherish this book.

Thank you so much for recommending this book.
I can't tell you how pleased I am with it.
This is an heirloom.

Thank you for the heads-up about this book. I have her other books from back when I used to use cake mixes and I liked them.
I do have a question though, if somebody would be so kind. I haven't seen if the recipes use cake mixes? Or are they scratch cakes? I rarely use mixes anymore (when the powers-that-be decreased their mixes by 3 ounces and then pretended the mixes were still fine to use, they lost me as a customer).
I'd love to order this book if the recipes are from scratch. Thank you.

I haven't had a chance to really investigate - arrived home and found it in my mailbox 10 minutes ago.
I don't see any cakes made with mix - it's a history of cakes, with wonderful recipes and glorious photos!
I can't wait to have time to really get into it!

Just ordered it. Thanks for pointing this out. I am glad the recipes don't include cake mixes - have never used one.

Can you tell me if the icing for the recipe for the multi-layer, chocolate cake is based with confectioner's sugar and butter?
