The Whimsical Bakehouse: Fun-To-Make Cakes That Taste As Good As They Look!

Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT

I bought this book because I was looking for fresh ideas on decorating cakes. I was absolutely amazed by the beautiful chocolate run-out designs shown here, (though the colors of the cakes themselves are a bit bright and tacky for my taste). I was a bit disappointed that the basic confectioners chocolate and candy colors are not available in my country but was more than compensated for that by the sumptuous recipes this book includes! I have tried several already and they are fabulous. This is absolutely the most original cake-decorating book I've ever seen. Go ahead and order!!

This is the best cake book ever!

I just made the best tasting birthday cake ever for my four year old following the recipes in this book. I have been decorating cakes for a long time, but they never really tasted that great. This time, everyone at the party couldn't tell me enough just how great the cake tasted. And it looked absolutely fantastic too. Finally a book that gives you cakes that taste as good as they look. I have to agree with the other reviewer that this book is truly a gift. Thank you Kaye and Liv Hansen.

LOVE IT!

I purchased this book because I enjoy baking birthday cakes for my children, but, I'm a novice cake baker/decorator and am in need of some guidance. The simple instructions and wonderful pictures are an asset and the recipes alone are worth the price of the book. Some decorating techniques are currently beyond my capabilities but they are inspiring and with each cake I'm improving my decorating skills. I was truly pleased by ALL the recipes I have tried. Each was as good, if not superior to the 'better' bakeshops in my city. I have made the house buttercream, cookies and cream filling, pinwheel cake, and vanilla cupcakes. Plus, by following their instructions, I made my first 3-tiered cake that didn't tilt to one side!
