The Cake Bible
anyone else possess the book called The Cake Bible [1] by Rose Levy Beranbaum?
i have a copy and i am very pleased with it
its full of information and has many recipes
however there are certain things lacking, such as cheesecake, carrot cake, and ice cream cake recipes, but its a great read
another thing i will warn you about is sometimes the bake times are off and often 10 additional minutes are needed on some recipes
but i like the book because not only is the paper easy to write on for notes and modifications, the book is formated almost as if such is intended to be done
though i wouldnt say the book is a must have, especially since hundreds of free recipes exist online now, its one of the best all around books of its kind so if its in your budget and you want a physical cookbook, its worth your while
my copy has sticky notes all over
the stickies in the sides are recipes i want to try
when i try one the sticky moves to the top edge anf gets notes on the recipe's taste and texture and whether or not to try it again
any modifications are written on the page
