Ten Speed Press Vintage Cakes: Timeless Recipes for Cupcakes, Flips, Rolls, Layer, Angel, Bundt, Chiffon, and Icebox Cakes for Today's Sweet Tooth [A Baking Book}

Tried 2 recepies for cakes and few for icing, so so so so good..... Up my collection of deliciousness... German Blitz torte with honey custard is absolute winner for summer after barbeque delight... Not many pictures but who cares ...be creative with what you make...the recepies are very very good.

A really easy to follow book, that makes amazingly delicious cakes. My favourite so far is the Maple and Pecan, although I cut the frosting by half, but it was still great. Off to buy more baking books with chiffon cake recipes in :-)

I love this book!I was introduced to it by a cake club and thus far i dont have one cake ive made from it that i dont like!!

Vintage Cakes was a bit of a disappointment for me. I was hoping for a collection of cakes that brought back memories from childhood. Some of the recipes had familiar names but the recipes weren't the same.That might be my memory. There are recipes for; Mississippi Mud cupcakes,and a Jam Cake that was good. I didn't make ganache frosting and filling,I used jam between the layers because that is what I remember my mom doing. I tried the Red Velvet, and the Classic Birthday cake. Nice cakes but not outstanding. I kept this book because I wanted to try the Gingerbread Icebox Cake with Mascarpone Mousse. This is the last recipe in the book and not what you would call a cake. Also not something you would just whip up everyday.It is made with ginger cookies layered with Mascarpone Mousse.You make the cookie dough, chill until firm and then roll and cut-out the round cookies,I froze my dough into logs and then sliced and baked. Then make the mousse and layer the cookies and mousse until you get something that looks like a cake.Placed on a footed cake plate it looked just like the picture in the book, took it to a potluck. If I made this again I would use my own ginger cookie recipe but the mascarpone mousse was good.I'm not sorry I kept the book but it wasn't really what I was hoping for.

I'm totally pleased with all the choice cakes representingthis delightful collection. There is simple language inthe directions,(historical storyline beginning each recipe,photographs of your outcome,and who said jelly rollvariations are not around.They are lush & divine,Honey Bee Cake,Daffidol cake, Italian Cream Cake,Blitz Hazelnut torte, Real Raspberry in Buttercream icing,Bourbon Cake, Almond Buttermilk Streamliner Cake,topped with Lemon Custard Icing,& Lazy Dazy OatmealCake,are a few of my favourites !
