Naked Cakes: Simply Stunning Cakes

Beautiful book to look at! The whole back book is based off of the basic spongecake recipes (2,4,6 eggs recipes) in the front of the book.. That being said- it would’ve sucked bad if the basic recipes were not good. That was not the case here.. I used the 6-eggs recipe & the cake was delish! First & only cake I’ve made so far is delicious! It’s the Pistacio Cake that’s featured on the front cover! Love that the cake is not too sweet cause we all know we eat a tad too much sugar already!

Questo libro è bellissimo!! Costa poco, ci sono tantissime torte, una più bella dell'altra! Ogni ricetta ha una sua foto, immagini fantastiche da sapore leggermente vintage. Ci sono torte di ogni genere, forma e gusto! Davvero bello! Arrivato in due giorni imballo perfetto. Sono molto soddisfatta! Le ricette non sono difficili e offre tantissime idee per le decorazioni. Lo stra consiglio.

ME GUSTÓ MUCHO AL VER LA PORTADA. PERO EL INTERIOR TODAVÍA ES MEJOR SUPERA LAS EXPECTATIVAS. ES UN GRAN LIBRO

I've just received this book and have not tried any of the recipes yet but the cakes look stunning .I recently made a naked cake for a wedding and wish I had this book for inspiration. Just a warning though, through experience.....I've been cake decorating for over 45 years so I have met many callenges with cake requests and have lots of experience, but, this was the hardest! The sheer simplicity of this type of cake makes it very difficult to work with and needs assembly on site....a nightmare in hot weather but it survived and looked and tasted amazing.I made a Carrot cake, Hummingbird cake and a Lavender cake for mine. You will need to support the cakes with wooden or plastic dowel rods but beware, as the cakes are very freshly made they are extremely soft and with the addition of a creamy filling can slide and so the rods can't always offer the best support but are better than nothing. You could assemble it and put acetate around each tier to offer support and remove it before cutting. I hope that's helpful.The contents of this book look inspiring and worth having as a special occasion recipe book, although great for tea time treats too. Would make a lovely gift for someone who enjoys baking. The photos are beautiful and the book is well put together. Hannah uses lots of food colouring to achieve the stunning results but people are veering towards more natural ingredients. Beetroot powder etc can be used to achieve a deep red without altering the taste. Check out natural food colour on Amazon or sites.

it showed some amazing and really pretty cakes that i am sure to make soon. if you are a baker this is the book for you. i wanted to try naked cakes forever and when i got this cook book i started to make all of them.
