Summary: The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Up Another Winner
Comment: This is a terrific follow-up to The Cake Mix Doctor. This time around though, the recipes focus on a broader variety of desserts that can be made from chocolate cake and brownie mixes. Making a few simple substitutions and/or additions to a basic chocolate cake or brownie mix can give you a dessert that will silence most "cake mix doubters". No one will believe the Triple Decker Chocolate Raspberry Cake began with a mix!
This time, Chocolate From the Cake Mix Doctor adds more variety than just chocolate cakes with a larger number of brownies, muffins, bars and little cakes than seen in the previous book. As in her first CMD book, Byrn gives recipes for terrific scratch frostings which are what really set these cakes apart. There are clear tips and suggestions in a thoroughly updated first section and great ideas in neat boxes at nearly every recipe. My favorite thing about the book is the website that goes along with it, where bakers can ask questions about a recipe in the book and get reviews and suggestions from other bakers.
If you are a fan of chocolate, bake a lot or are looking for a way to make your chocolate cakes a bit less ordinary--this book will not disappoint you.

Summary: Not worth the trouble
Comment: Boy, I still don't understand all the hoopla about these cake mix books. I purchased the first one in hopes of finding some new technique. What I found were chemical tasting cakes of rather poor texture and adaptability. They also cost more than baking from scratch. After buying the mix, the pudding, and all the other things (that are in a homemade cake anyhow!) these things get expensive. I am a baker. I'm not against shortcuts, but there are certainly a lot of basic cake books out there that can take the pressure off of baking. If you really think about it, if you learn to make one good pound cake, a chocolate layer cake, a vanilla flavored cake and one specialty item, that's about all you need. I would recommend you look at other books before trying this stuff. Give yourself a chance to taste real bakery - no chemicals to make the shelf life longer than the new millenium. Take a look at Cook's Illustrated Baking Book - just released. You will find tons of hints and they walk you through each step. And the end product will REALLY wow your audience.
