Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-03 00:00:00 Steve Macdonald [Not despicable because she was an adventuress who thought she could be queen but because she was a friend of Hitler's, a lover of Ribbentrop and very pro-Nazi (hide spoiler)]

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-21 00:00:00 Elizabeth Lazarz This book has some really tasty looking cakes in it and I plan sometime to make a few of them. One of the cakes I plan to make is called the "Queen Mother Cake" and it gets it's name from Queen Elizabeth II's mother. The woman lived to be 101 and she first tasted this cake in the 1950s and enjoyed it so much that she had it featured at royal parties for the next 50 years. The Queen Mother Cake is "dense and intense, this flourless chocolate cake has a soft center that is similar to that of a souffle`. Although it's sophisticated, because of its minimalism it tastes best with a childhood favorite - a tall glass of milk". - Krystina Castella The cake's recipe can be found on page 138. Another Cake I aspire to make is the Jo`zsef Dobos Cake on page 172, it looks amazing and the the story behind it really intrigued me. This book is filled with delectable treats and recipes for funnel cakes, doughnuts, cheesecakes, and a whole bunch of others including: Angel Food Cake: Pg 34 Strawberry Shortcake: Pg 35 Funnel Cakes: Pg 36 New York Cheesecake: Pg 38 Cinnamon Buttermilk: Pg 44 Red Velvet Cake: Pg 46 Devil's Food Cupcakes: Pg 52 Genoise Sponge Cake: Pg 108 Swiss Roll with Bavarian Cream: Pg 118 Turkish Delight Cake: Pg 224 Mooncakes: Pg 260 Various Icings, Frostings, Glazes, Sauces, and Fillings: Pg 315-322 I hope one day to make all these.
