Cake Confidence Review: My confidence in cake making and decorating has definitely increased... - I've made cakes in the past and it has always felt like a hassle. Partly because I didn't have the proper tools that would make it easier, but also because it was so time consuming making cakes from scratch and if I made them from a box you could just tell it was from a box and maybe I just wasn't as excited about it as I am now and I was just winging the decorating part. In early January though I started trying to plan for my son's birthday party that would be in early February and I was browsing cake books on desertcart because I was considering making his cake this year (I looked around at several bakeries and people that could make cakes but had a hard time getting responses, and I just felt like I could do it). Well, I came across this book and when looking through the preview I just loved Mandy's style of cakes! I looked at other reviewers photos and they also looked amazing and it got me excited that I might also be able to make cakes that look amazing. I looked up her site and then started following her on Instagram and I just loved all the info she shared there and it got me thinking, maybe I want to start making cakes more often for family things and just because since she makes it look so easy and fun. So, I bought the book! When it arrived I just browsed through it several times and I thought, I want to make my first cake as practice (before my son's B-Day cake) for my anniversary that was coming up on January 26th. So, I chose the White Chocolate Raspberry Cake (picture added) from the book since my husband loves raspberry stuff and it turned out looking pretty great and it also tasted great too! One thing to note, and which I personally appreciate, is that all the cake recipes start with a cake mix but there are several other ingredients added that make it taste way better than a plain cake mix. I love this fact because I know my cakes will be consistent every time and it's less of a hassle. They also bake flat too if you follow her tips which eliminates the step of having to level cakes (pictured inside the Raspberry cake)! Score! Anyways, back to the cake, my husband kept going on and on about how good the cake was! I had a fun time making it too which has never happened for me when making cakes. I got the main tools she suggests too and I think that helped. Next, it was time for my son's B-Day cake (Star Wars cake pictured). I used her Dark Chocolate Cake recipe along with her Black Buttercream recipe in the book and then did the stars and logo, etc from other tips online. Everyone loved it and we didn't have a ton of discolored mouths everywhere! My brother was iffy on the black buttercream but after having a slice he said the buttercream was the best part but that it was all really good! I will say though I was hoping for a little more instructional/decorating pictures in the book (it has step by step pictures for decorating the cover photo cake but just descriptions for assembly on the other cakes which do have different styles slightly). But overall that's not a big deal because she has tons of videos on her IG page and lots of Q&A's on there as well. Speaking of, I have sent a few questions in and she has replied and been very helpful. There is a lot of variety as far as cake and buttercream recipes go and I can't wait to make more. I am thinking of making the Biscoff Cake this weekend possibly. I will add more photos if desertcart lets me as I make them. If you're a beginner like me and want easy cake recipes and lots of variety of flavors and you like this style of decorating cakes I think you should definitely get this book and check out her IG and website for more recipes and tips. 2/18/2020: Adding photo of the Fruity Pebbles cake. :D This one is cute but none of us cared too much for it. 6/11/2020: Adding photos of the Cookies and Cream cake (this one was amazing and the best one I think so far, my husband thinks the White Chocolate Raspberry one is still the best but this one is my favorite so far) and a Dark Chocolate Cake (I used the Dark Chocolate Cake from one recipe and a plain Dark Chocolate Buttercream from another recipe in the book, you can definitely mix and match cakes and buttercreams!) Review: Fun Flavors, Easy Recipes and Delicious Results - This cookbook has become my one of my favorites! Yes, she uses boxed cake mix. No, using boxed cake mix does NOT make anyone any less of a baker (anyone who says otherwise needs to get off their high horse because doing things differently than you doesn’t discredit someone else in any creative outlet such as baking). I am an experienced baker who has sold several cakes from “made from scratch” wonderfully delicious recipes, and I can tell you that not a single person who has had a cake made from one of these doctored cake mix recipes has ever said a single negative thing. In fact, most of the recipes have been touted as “the best cake I’ve ever had!” I’m confident that telling them it includes a boxed mix after does not alter the taste. Anyway, if you’re looking for some fun cake flavors and incredibly delicious buttercream recipes, this is the cookbook for you! Some of the frosting recipes are hard not to simply eat with a spoon. Also, for the most part, the decorating instructions are so easy to follow and produce aesthetically beautiful cakes! Plus, the author has a great website with even more cakes recipes and a few other treats and a very active Instagram account, where she is a joy to follow. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #270,805 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #75 in Confectionary Desserts #220 in Cake Baking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,679) | | Dimensions | 9 x 7 x 1 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1462122604 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1462122608 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | March 12, 2019 | | Publisher | Front Table Books | ## Images ![Cake Confidence - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v51CxsYZS.jpg) ![Cake Confidence - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819590AvYnS.jpg) ![Cake Confidence - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hbG+BVpaS.jpg) ![Cake Confidence - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qgk-cxxaS.jpg) ![Cake Confidence - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BgBq-K7XS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My confidence in cake making and decorating has definitely increased... *by C***2 on February 8, 2020* I've made cakes in the past and it has always felt like a hassle.
