Anyone Can Cake: Your Complete Guide to Making & Decorating Perfect Layer Cakes

I have been following author's blog for some time and when she announced the book publication, I knew I had to get it. Her cakes are fool & fail-proof and most importantly SO flavorful. The flavor combos are well put-together, directions are easy to follow, ingredients are pantry staples, and for any visual learners, all cakes show a beautiful photo of end product, so you know what it should look like. It isn't a hardcover, but the quality of paper is great, and all the pictures are perfectly shot and capture the beauty of each cakes, so you don't feel like you're missing. I have made several cakes out of this cookbook and received rave reviews and highly recommend this book!!!

If you're hoping to learn how to prepare and ice your own special occasion cakes, look no further. This is the book! Not only is the information thorough and easy to understand, the graphics and layout are excellent. The cakes and photography are beautiful. One thing I really appreciate is that the Lambeth Piping method is included, which is what I grew up with. It's pretty and vintage. So glad I found this book! Thank you to Whitney Depaoli for generously sharing your cake expertise with us!

I’ve been a fan of Whitney’s (Sugar & Sparrow Co.) for years, and always use her recipes. I’ve worked as a commercial cake decorator and have run an out-of-home business, and I’ve still learned so much from following her blog. When she announced this book, I didn’t hesitate to order, and I’m so glad I now have it! The book is SO comprehensive, and covers everything you didn’t even know you’d need in the baking and decorating process. Troubleshooting tips, ways to rescue any fail, color mixing, you name it, she’s covered it. Her recipes and designs range from simple to complex, but this book is informative enough for a first time baker to jump right in and make something beautiful. I love that it is comprehensive enough to make these beautiful designs as well as gives confidence to create your own designs. My 11 year old daughter has even been making cakes and cupcakes using this book, and I’m seriously impressed she hasn’t needed my help in the kitchen! I highly recommend grabbing multiple copies of Anyone Can Cake… one for you, and amazing gifts for anyone in your life interested in caking.

In my opinion these are the best tasting cake recipes out there. My family and friends agree. And I learned everything for decorating the cakes pictured from this book and Whitney’s YouTube videos. She is amazing at teaching and the recipes in her cookbook give all the exact small details you need to know to make it all work and come out so well. Other books will say “mix until creamed,” Whitney will tell you exactly how much time and what to look for. These details make a big difference in baking and it is one thing that sets her recipes apart. I had basically only made a box cake before finding her recipes and certainly had never tried decorating or piping. Even if you don’t want to learn to decorate these are the most delicious recipes. Highly recommend!

This is a good book. It would have been better with more frosting choices since I don't care for American buttercream with powdered sugar but there are lots of other good things in the book

I love this book! There are step by step instructions with beautiful pictures at each step for anyone to be able to make special cakes that look amazing and are also delicious. It even has troubleshooting tips and suggestions for the right supplies. I made my first attempt this weekend for a friend’s birthday using the lemon cake recipe and her decorating instructions and everyone was impressed. I am already planning my sisters 40th birthday cake and my daughter’s first birthday cake (both months away!) though deciding which recipe is going to be hard! I am so glad I can confidently plan to make cakes myself for these special occasions instead of ordering (super expensive and often not that tasty) cakes from a bakery. Thank you Whitney, I was a bit skeptical of my ability but I think you are right- Everyone can cake!

The Author explains everything so well , I don’t regret buying this book.

Whitney is not pulling your chain when she says "Anyone can cake." With her easy to follow instructions you can cake too. The beautiful cakes pop right out of every page, forcing you to want to recreate everyone of them. Making show stopping cakes doesn't have to be intimidating. This book will give you the confidence to make the center piece for every event you attend. Still don't belive me? Knowing nothing about baking (let alone cake building) I stumbled upon Whitney's website. Following her very easy to understand tutorials, I produced my first cake. The second picture is from two years later when this book was released. Both cakes were made using techniques that can be found in this book.
