Mary Berry's Baking Bible: Over 250 Classic Recipes

Product Information

A super simple and adaptable recipe that is ideal for birthday parties, these iced fairy cakes will always be a cute addition to the table. This revised and updated book is filled with an introduction on baking at home, the equipment needed, and all the different terminology. So, I don't know, I don't think it's fair to judge the entire book on this one recipe because there are so many variables that can cause a bake to go astray that aren't at all the fault of the recipe. Good thing that there is a baking bible like this Marry Berry that we can use for the party we are wanting to do.

I am now blaming this book for an increase in weight but the pleasure of being able to present edible and attractive bakes for friends and family's acclaim is worth it. If you have already submitted another request to index a book or magazine yourself, please do not make any additional requests until you have indexed and submitted that book or magazine. I'm sure if I attempted to bake the more challenging recipes, my cakes wouldn't end up like Dame Mary but isn't the point to try? The cake turned out well, but I would have liked the filling to taste more like chocolate, so next time maybe I will try ganache instead of the buttercream described. Absolutely loved it, there are some recipes I didn't like, but probably 95% of them I did and would bake again.

The use of extra large eggs and salted butter (or buttery spread) in most recipes was unusual (to me).

It truly is a baking bible — featuring many recipes, tips and tricks, and loads of information about baking and ingredients.

It did crack a bit when rolling it, I need to figure out when is the best moment to roll it (is it better to wait that it cools down a bit? Mary’s easy-to-follow instructions and handy tips make it ideal for kitchen novices and more experienced cooks alike, and full-colour photographs and beautiful illustrations will guide you smoothly to baking success.

I am looking forward to trying my hand at her Fork Cookies, Very Best Scones and Buttermilk and Honey Cheesecake (always, always on the hunt for ways to use buttermilk).Now that my wife gave birth to our first child, planning a baby shower to our little baby girl is what we are thinking. The four stars instead of five is mainly the ulitization I got from this book- not disregarding the quality of it. I just used two types of raisins, currants, dried cherries and almonds, increasing amounts to get the same weight of fruits and nuts. This really is a baking bible and a staple on the cookbook shelf for any fans of baking or Mary Berry! I greatly appreciated the use of one-bowl recipes and learning apricot jam is one of her secret ingredients, it shows up in many recipes and how she uses it applied to warm cakes before frosting is genius.
