Summary: Not exactly baking from scratch
Review: Anyone considering buying this book should be aware that a large number of its recipes call for prepared items such as cake mixes, 7up, canned chocolate syrup, canned frosting, canned pineapple and mandarin oranges, candy bars, frozen whipped topping, pudding mix, and prepared graham cracker pie crust.

Summary: Not exactly baking from scratch
Review: I am currently in Charleston and am stunned that not one person that I have asked all over town has ever heard of this dear lady! I just purchased her cookbook and intend to buy the other. She is a dieing breed. I went away to college 20 years ago and never moved back to the south until this year. Thanks to Mrs Pregnall (as she is my senior) I am looking forward to establishing my own group of fans for reproducing her fabulous looking, down-home, gentil and uniquely southern creations. If you are listening Mrs Pregnall, I am earnestly hoping to meet you while here and have you to personally autogragh my book. I am thankful that ladies like you are still around and that you will continue to encourage your craft, which I'm sure has very little to do with the actual ingredients that you put inside the cake....like mostly love. May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Summary: Received this new book on Friday
Review: I feel as though Mrs. Pregnall is a very good and close friend of mine, as well as a personal mentor. But, I have never met her and wish that I could. Her recipes from both books are used in my endeavors to please my family and friends with the very best confections possible. Anyone can produce these wonderful treats and relish in the compliments. Teresa is an inspiration to me!

Summary: not exactly from scratch.......
Review: Serious bakers and anyone concerned about preservatives and artificial ingredients might be interested to know that many of the recipes in this book call for items such as:boxed cake mix
packaged frosting
canned chocolate syrup
7UP
brownie mix
prepared pie crust
pudding mix
frozen whipped topping I wish I'd carefully read the book description, which does mention that "some even use cake mixes as their starting point." That said, there are some creative combinations and the author does seem like an awfully nice person. It's just not a book for everyone.
