The Buttercup Bake Shop Cookbook: More Than 80 Recipes for Irresistible, Old-Fashioned Treats

Rating:
Summary: SUPER Cookbook!!!
Review: The recipes are very easy to follow and understand and contains full-color pictures. As with The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook by Jennifer Appel, the recipes in this book have always turned out fabulous. The Caramel Cake is to die for! It is always requested by friends and family. (But I must say, the Birthday Cake by far is my favorite.)

Summary: My favorite baking book
Review: This book is fabulous; it's full of old-fashioned, butter-laden, comforting treats that are easy to make, and a pleasure to devour. Lots of people seem to be wondering where the cupcake recipes are: you just make the regular cake recipes in cupcake wrappers and bake for slightly less time! The buttercup golden layer cake recipe is to die for when coupled with the american buttercream frosting, by the way. The recipe for fresh peach pie is dreamy as well. Everything I've made in this book -- and I've made many things -- has turned out wonderfully. My copy is all warpy and dog-eared from constant use... maybe it's time to buy another...

Summary: The Best Banana Pudding Recipe
Review: This book is worth the price for the banana pudding recipe alone. It is by far the best banana pudding I've ever had. I made it in a 9 x 13 pan instead of a bowl and it was a big hit at a family gathering. I also made the blueberry coffee cake, which I found disappointing. The cake itself was o.k., if a bit dry, but the streussel topping was dreadful. I believe it contains something like 12 tablespoons of vegetable shortening, which raised my eyebrows, but I decided to go ahead and try it anyway. My suspicions were confirmed. I don't mind the fat aspect, but the flavor of that topping is just terrible - like eating cake topped with fried chicken skin. I call this cake the Criso crunch cake. Blech. Several of the other recipes look good, though. I have a feeling I just ran into a clunker with the blueberry cake.
