Hello. My hubby got me the Cake Bible book for Xmas. I was just wondering if anyone has made any of the recipes in the book and could recommend any of them to try. Thanks!
I am pretty new myself... and have never heard of this! I can't wait to see the comments! Merry belated Christmas!

I love my Cake Bible!! I have other books by Rose. There is so much background info for baking that it's more than a recipe book. I always use her Mousseline Buttercream recipe. It stands up so fantastically here in our climate. And her cheesecakes are delicious! Can't go wrong with the basic cakes either!
I've had the Cake Bible for several years but have only made a couple of things out it. The Chocolate Bread was very good and easy. I have also made the Mousseline (sp?) buttercream frosting. It was also pretty tasty. She has a lot of good information about trouble shooting when a cake doesn't turn out perfectly. I tend to use it more for information than for the recipes because they are not adjusted for high altitude.
I've tried the Golden Grand Marnier Cake (p.44) with ganache on top and the Pumpkin-Walnut cake (p.71), both with great results. I also love her new book called Rose's Heavenly Cakes. I've tried a couple of cakes in this book that were absolutely delicious - the Grand Marnier Wedding Cake and the Spice Cake with Peanut Buttercream.
Oh my goodness, so many to choose from. The first cake I ever did was the one on the cover. I like to make the swiss pancakes on special occasions. I've done just about all the buttercremas and ganaches, except the honey one. That's just never appealed to me. You just gotta go in there and start picking cakes to try. You may not like everything. I like just about everything, but don't care for her cheesecake.
Oh yeah, and now she has "Heavenly Cakes". I will be doing the red velvet tomorrow and spending a lot of time working my way through that one.
Lucky! I put it on my Chrismas list but Santa didn't bring it!
Let's try again for my B-day!
Santa only got it for me because I do all his shopping for him. At least half the things I opened on Christmas were things I bought and had DH wrap up for me so that the kids wouldn't wonder why mommy didn't have many presents.
Sometimes (*cough* most of the time *cough*), much help is needed to end up with presents... there are rarely real surprises.
