The Cake Bible

By Rose Levy Beranbaum
William Morrow Cookbooks - 1988

This is my favorite cookbook. I learned to bake beautiful cakes and silky fillings from this book. All of the recipes are very well tested and they are all delicious. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about baking cakes, everything is explained in detail. There is also a section for professionals and passionate amateurs. My book is well worn and loved.
