ebook reviews...

This ebook was super helpful. I recently made a huge wedding cake for friends so this helped massively when baking tiers of different sizes. Previously I’d scale the recipes myself which wasn’t always accurate in order to achieve the same heights across all sponges which didn’t always work and proved very difficult. I now use this recipe for all my stacked cakes as I often bake tall so need the stability of this recipes sponges. All the wedding guests said how delicious the sponges were so I have trust in using the recipe again and again going forward.

Hi Trish, tried your vanilla cake and it was delicious. My whole family really enjoyed it. So much so, that I plan to use your recipe and your chocolate one for a friend’s 2 tier wedding cake I’ve been asked to make in October. I was wondering if you perhaps have a hard cover book with your recipes as I would love to buy it. If not I’ll stick to the e-books. Thanks again and i can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

I must say that i really really loved the recipe it was so delicious and fluffy. And the icing on the cake for me was you had given the recipe in several measurements which was a great help with my baking.

FARMER'S MARKET FAVORITE

Chunky Red Velvet Cookies

These red velvet cookies with white chocolate are a rich, chewy treat with a hint of cocoa and a striking red hue – a perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.

With its soft, slightly dense texture, similar to a New York-style cookie, crisp edges and a gooey center, it’s no surprise this flavor was the first to sold out when I made this for a farmer’s market!
