Title: Fantastic Resource!
Review: Probably the best cake âBibleâ Iâve ever had the pleasure of owning that covers education on tools, techniques, and ingredients along with some great recipes. If youâre only going to own one cake cookbook, this should be it.

Title: The Book is as Marvellous as Zoe;nothing less !
Review: I have been a âZoe-followerâ for so long and I have watched her IG live sessions on Saturdays. But when she announced her CAKE book(she has several others dedicated to bread with another author),I was counting my days till this point. THIS BOOK IS A GEM !This book opens with the quick guide/jump-to section so the reader can skip her bio(spans across next 5 pages) and plan the sweet adventure! I love the ingredients section as she starts with critical and most of the time confusing ingredients for the homecook(chocolate varieties,dairy varieties and even egg varieties). However I wonder if I can buy 12 vanilla beans to make homemade vanilla extract. This section is followed by equipment necessary for cake baking and decorating.Next is where you master the cakes with the section of âCake academyâ. And it spans across 32 pages!!! This contains various techniques a baker should be known for to make a great cake. And she didnât share these tips in her Instagram as detailed as in the book ! I love the instructional photos as well. Seems so easy to follow even to an inexperienced baker( I consider myself as an intermediate skilled baker).Then it's time we start to say oohs and ahhs over and over again !!! First wave of cake recipes are pound cakes,quick breads and bundts. As a strong opinionated ambassador of baking with fruits(I saw this in her IG videos and posts),Zoe has reserved a whole chapter for baking with fruits(printed as fruit studded cakes-upside down or otherwise). And she encourages baking with in season fruits starting with a blueberry muffin cake. And who's gonna stop me from trying a Cinco leches cake yâall ? Yes I said CINCO ! Oh I'm so excited !Layer cakes,loaves and classic sheet pan cakes are the next chapter and I will have more respect for sheet cakes like never before from Zoeâs recipes.This section also features the book coverâs image;the hot chocolate cake ! And her famous pavlova with prickly peaks is in here too !Last but not the least, the recipe set for âfancy cakesâ comes ! Yes she said that ! It's all fancy when we want to impress that special person and the special occasion. Next birthdayâ¦.Next anniversary or next special feel good ordinary day..Here lies some bespoke cakes !Final two chapters are dedicated to icing.frostings,ganaches,fillings and flourishes(thatâs what special about Zoe:her carrot peel candy,cool whimsical chocolate bark and candied hazelnuts).You can own as many cake books.. And you can follow as many baking blogs or instagram accounts.. Or bake your forever favorite passed down heirloom recipes ⦠BUT nothing is going to be as charming and serene like Zoeâs. She has this hard to miss captivative vibe surrounding us and the dormant baker in each of us is just begging to come out and bake ! And from what I saw⦠She has done the entire photography from her home(yes I said that seeing her IG lives). I donât know its because of the COVID-19.But I felt welcome,included and feels like she is my friend who I can think and be happy about the bakes I do is from her. We all need this kinda warm baking book in our lives ! I'm so impatient to bake from this book !Iâve received a free copy from Ten Speed in exchange for a free and unbiased review.Thank you.

Title: First bake?? Total success!!!
Review: I received the book yesterday. First bake today. Definitely add this book to your collection, if only for the Plum Cake on p. 89. What no collection?? Start it with this book. Teachings are spot on and very clear. Simply follow the recipe and read the notes. More bakes planned!!

Title: Awesome recipes and âhow toâ section
Review: I love watching the show âZoe Bakesâ on Max. This cookbook has some of the cakes sheâs made on the show. There is also a really great section where she explains many of the fundamentals of baking and how to do things in the recipe directions. I think this will be an enormous help to novice bakers. So really, people of all skill levels can make the cakes in this cookbook.

Title: The Absolute BEST cake book I own
Review: When this book came out I had to have it. I have all of Zoeâs bread books and there is not nothing I havenât made that wasnât awesome, thought out, tested to be perfect. This cake book is beautiful, pictures for every cake, very clear and short instructions! No hard to get ingredients, just plan good good cake making with a flare. Also a lot of Zoeâs baking common sense, I learn something from her from every bake, and it is the kind of knowledge that never leaves you. It was hard to decide what to make first, so I made sure I had stocked all the ingredients for three of my top picks, because of course I could not choose just one The Blue berry muffin cake, so easy, and smells heavenly. I didnât make the crumble topping because it was one of those walk in the door from work and 15 minutes to the oven cakes we will use for breakfast or a snack, but next time definitely. The other two next on my list are the Black Forest Cake and the Grandma Ellenâs Rum cake. I will end up making every cake in the book because they are all fabulous and easy! Even a âDrive Through Sueâ could make most of these cakes. Thank you Zoe for all your Pastry Chef Goodness! I am one of your biggest fans. :).

Review: Baking one of Zoe Francois' cakes each week I've gone from the chocolate zucchini bundt to the carrot cake via the banana-nutella loaves - and am primed for the grape almond tube cake - and each recipe has been simple to follow, used fairly standard kitchen equipment & supplies - and the cakes have been easy on the eye & good to eat. What more needs be said!

Review: Descubrà a Zoë en Instagram. Tienes recetas fantásticas, como el pastel de la foto, con ciruela y una mezcla de harina todo uso, integral y de almendra. Las instrucciones son claras y los ingredientes usualmente se pueden encontrar en México. Lo recomiendo mucho.
