Summary: Yummy, Goof-proof Desserts in MINUTES!
Comment: I'm a terrible baker, or so I thought...
This book is wonderful for the person who is short on time and baking talent, as it combines quick recipes with easy-to-follow directions.
So far, I've tried 2 recipes -- the Kahlua cake and chocolate birthday cone cupcakes. I was barely able so test them out before my boyfriend, family, and co-workers chowed down. (Needless to say, they were a hit!)
Excellent features: 1.) At the beginning of the book is a photograph of *every cake, cookie, brownie, etc.* with its name and page number underneath. You can save time by looking at finished products, then flipping back to find the recipe. (Excellent feature! I wish all cookbooks were organized like this.)
2.) I can't stress the simplicity enough. You can literally put together a dessert in less than 10 minutes. (Note: That time estimate refers to *prep* time, not *baking* time, as the desserts will then have to go in the oven for between 20-30 minutes.)
Overall: I would have a hard time discerning a "from-scratch" cake from a "Cake Doctor" cake. The author adds an interesting feature or ingredient which makes the cakes taste very un-like a mix. (For example, in the chocolate cupccake recipe, the author says to use cinnamon -- an ingredient I wouldn't think to combine with chocolate. However, it made a difference. The cake was excellent!)
For easy, A+ desserts, this cookbook is a "must have." Enjoy!

Summary: Doctor the Frosting
Comment: As a former professional baker, I've made a lot of cakes. Without a doubt, the recipes in this cookbook produce some of the most delicious results you'll ever come across. A few ingredients added to a basic cake mix and you have something your family and company will truly. My only concern is with the frosting/glaze recipes. Without exception, and I've tried the Caramel and Cream Cheese Frostings and Chocolate Glaze, the ratio of fat to confectioners' sugar is off. The recipes produce frosting/glaze that is too thin to stay on a cake. My suggestion would be to keep extra confectioners' sugar on hand to make whatever adjustments you deem necessary. Perhaps humidity or weather conditions have some bearing on this. In any case, try the book, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: This is an excellent cookbook! Any recipe I have made- cakes, frostings, bars, comes out wonderful. They always get rave reviews! It also has great tips on all aspects of cake baking. I am so glad I have this cookbook, and I use it all the time.
