The Cake Bible, 35th Anniversary Edition: The Ultimate Cake Baking Guide with Classic and Modern Recipes, Techniques, and Decorating Methods

Wow. This book is a national treasure. It is an encyclopedia of cake-making, a one-stop-shop recipe, technique, and guide book on all things cake. I’m a home baker. I read a lot of dessert cookbooks and recipes from the NY Times cooking app. I enjoy making cakes, cookies, bars, pies, and puddings for weeknights and special occasions. To say this book blew me away is an understatement. I know I can make these recipes, and at the same time this book will challenge me to take my baking to a new level, to question, explore, analyze, try new approaches, and keep learning for a lifetime. Rose and Woody are truly masters of their craft. I feel so privileged to be living at a time in which I could receive this new edition. Thank you Rose and Woody for such magnificent and beautiful work.

I got the original cake bible not too long ago, and as soon as I did the revised edition was announced! The new photography is beautiful, and Rose’s recipes are very specific, every detail you need is laid out for you, and all you need to do is follow her road to success. There’s variations for most of the recipes, and understanding sections following each to give you another level of understanding and to explain the ingredients or directions further. I recommend this to anyone curious about making cake.

I purchased my first copy of The Cake Bible in 1990. I gave that one away, broke the binding on the second one from heavy use, and have been using my third copy for about 20 years. I eagerly awaited this new edition and it did not disappoint! Rose Levy Beranbaum’s books are not just collections of recipes; they are textbooks and guides to the best baking moments at my family’s table. I have taught many others to bake using the collection of books by Team Rosewood that hold pride of place on my cookbook shelf.

My first copy of The Cake Bible is falling apart. The pages are stained and the whole book is coming apart. I have used it exclusively for all my cakes. I love the precise instructions and the reverse creaming method. I was a good cake baker before, but this really upped my game.I have used it for big projects like wedding cakes. I learned how to make perfect silky buttercreams. So luscious! Cakes are a particular breed in the baking family. Precision is everything, and this book leads the way. I am so looking forward to delving into this wonderful new edition.I can't recommend it enough.

I own many cookbooks. I have enjoyed this one. has some different ideas. picture of finish cakes.

I bought this for my sister, a great baker. She has proclaimed it, THE CAKE Book!

So few pictures in this book, I love her Baking Bible with pictures (that are attractive/motivation for me to bake). Plus she uses so many different size pans/molds without mentioning if wanted to bake in a different size, I don’t have that many baking supplies in my kitchen to make all those recipes.

In the beginning there was nothing. Then Franco created flour, and it was good, and He saw that it was good, so He threw in some eggs, sherger, milk & some other stuff, & chucked it all into His unused pottery kiln, which of course was too hot, so it came out burnt & half-baked. Then He got this book, and on the seventh day (that would be SUNDAY!), He went surfing.
