With recipes from Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and The Bakers

The big book of amazing cakes brings the magic of the great British bake off to your kitchen with easy to follow recipes for every shape, size and delicious flavour of cake you can imagine. Featuring the very best cakes from inside the bake-off tent, alongside much loved family favourites, stunning showstoppers and classic bakes, the book is packed with expert advice and helpful tips for decorating. From simple sponges to spectacular celebration cakes, aspiring bakers will have everything they need to create the perfect bake for any occasion.

I was so excited to try some recipes from this book; I love baking and the great British bake off so this book was a must for me. What struck me about this book was the expert advice and professional hints and tips throughout the book alongside pictures of what the finished products should look like and beautiful scenic photos.

The instructions were easy to follow, and the ingredients were very easy to source. Each recipe had a ‘hands on’ duration as well as a baking time and serving size. At the back of the book is a conversion chart which is very useful for those who cook using cup sizes or ounces.

I chose to bake the Gingerbread loaf, the maple, apple and walnut streusel and not forgetting the ultimate chocolate cake. Each recipe was divided into easy to follow steps and had a picture of what I should expect the finished product to look like. I had great fun baking away with my daughter, niece and mother. We all love baking so naturally I had to get the family involved. After lots of weighing, measuring, baking and cooling our creations were finally ready to sample. We were not disappointed each cake was delicious and I am eager to bake some more yummy cakes.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in baking as there are recipes for beginners and experts alike.
