Surprise-Inside Cakes Cookbook Review and Giveaway
Surprise Inside Cakes: Amazing Cakes for Every Occasion with a Little Something Extra Inside- a review and giveaway
This Giveaway is CLOSED. A winner has been chosen and the prize(s) have been fulfilled.
Today I get to tell you about a book that I’ve been waiting on for years. My friend Amanda (founder of the popular blog I am Baker) has just released her new cookbook Surprise-Inside Cakes: Amazing Cakes for Every Occasion–with a Little Something Extra Inside
, and I am honored to be one of the first to receive a copy. You’re going to want this book!
Surprise! Those “candles” are actually CAKE!
There is something for everyone in this colorful, fun book. Imagine cutting into a cake to reveal a hidden surprise! The only thing better than a delicious cake is a delicious cake baked with a surprise inside. Amanda’s cake designs truly are revolutionary! This book takes her designs even further than what you’ve seen on her blog. Use one of her fool-proof cake and frosting recipes, a box mix, or even your favorite recipe passed down in your family.
Filled with full-page, stunning photographs, as well as detailed process shots, Surprise-Inside Cakes takes you through each step to make the perfect surprise-inside cake for your friends and family. I LOVE the process pictures and instructions because I am a visual learner. She gives tips and tricks about how to use everyday objects like cookie cutters, rulers, glass bowls, and container lids to achieve your desired design.
Inspired by Amanda I even made my own surprise-inside cake, but you’re going to have to wait until Thursday to see it. I’m serious- once you get Amanda’s book in your hands you will want to bake your own surprise-inside cake!
Amanda writes with passion about her craft, and you will surely enjoy getting to know her through her stories and personal anecdotes. I would recommend this book for anyone desiring to do something different in the kitchen. Give it as a gift to the baker in your life, but be warned- you’re going to want to keep a copy for yourself. Lucky for you I have a copy to give away!!
