CROWN Snacking Cakes

I love this book so much! I’ve had it a week and already baked 3 different cakes. I really like how the author offers alternative ingredient and baking pan instructions so you can adapt the recipe if you don’t have what’s called for. I also like the use of grams in the ingredient measurements because it allows for accuracy. Most of the recipes can be made in a single bowl with a whisk making it so easy! I bought 2 copies. One for me and one for my best friend. We are going to attempt to bake every recipe in this book throughout 2024. She bakes with a toddler so having a simple one bowl recipe will be great. I also want to point out that even though the recipes are simple in method they are not simple in flavour. The book has so many interesting and original cake flavours and combinations, some of which I would never have thought of. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to bake a cake with out all the faff of getting out a mixer.

I bought this book because I love the idea of having a cake on the ready each week; cakes imply celebration and happy kids and a house full of people you like and we could probably all use more of that right now. The tone is light and fun and the instructions are detailed and make it super easy to bake a great cake. I've made several cakes and icings so far; the simple chocolate and vanilla cakes are not only perfect as they are, but the author gives you different options for baking pans and flavour combinations. I can't recommend this book enough, definitely for all skill levels in the kitchen, with beautiful pictures to accompany each recipe.

This book is such a cool gift for someone that truly apreciates exploring simples sweets without going for the plain cakes.

I adore this book and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a must have book in every kitchen. The simple and no fuss recepies are so delicious that it needs a strong will power to stop yourself baking them all in one go. There have been so much attention to details in this book, the order of ingredients, measurements (Cups vs Grams) and even different pan shapes. And the cakes are absolutely delicious!

I have only tried a few recipes but the ones I’ve made are simple and delicious. And best of all made in one mixing bowl. They are small cakes which is really nice. You will not need to continue to buy the tasteless ( or incredibly expensive) baked goods from the grocery store.
