The Cake Mix Doctor is in!

And the prescription is simple: By doctoring up packaged cake mix with just the right extras--a touch of sweet butter here, cocoa powder there, or poppy seeds, vanilla yogurt, sherry, eggs, and grated lemon zest for the Charleston Poppy Seed Cake--even the least experienced baker can turn out luscious signature desserts, time after time. The proof is in the taste, and the taste never stops--from Toasted Coconut Sour Cream Cake to Devilishly Good Chocolate Cake; from a to-die-for Caramel Cake and a Holiday Yule Log to cheesecakes, coffee cakes, sheet cakes, pound cakes, bars, brownies, and those all-important frostings, here are 175 fast, foolproof recipes that will transform the art of home baking in America.

Who could believe these cakes came out of a box? Moist, tender, rich, deep, and complexly flavored, without a hint of artificiality, each cake stand up and delivers. But without any of the fuss of baking from scratch. Anne Byrn, an award-wining food writer and self-described purist, creates recipes that employ a cake mix's strengths---convenience, ease-of-use, dependability, and almost imperviousness to overbeating, underbeating, overbaking, and underbaking.

In addition to the recipes are the Cake Mix Doctor's Q&A's, extensive "Doctor Says" tips, lists--15 Beautiful Birthday Cakes, 15 Cakes That Will Cash in at a Bake Sale--and more, all illustrated in a full-color photographic insert.

Title: Best little secret ever.
Review: My favorite book. I’m not a baker and I don’t claim to be.. This book helps you to look really good when it comes to baking something special for a friend or a loved one.. it really helps to present something delicious and pretty. I had one years ago, I lent my book to a friend. And my friend moved, and my book moved with her and somehow I never got it back.. I had marked my pages I had smeared cake mix or icing butter perhaps on Pages. It was a well used book. It’s a favorite. It’s definitely a keeper..

Title: An awesomwcookbook for cakes!!!
Review: I love this cake cookbook, she just nails it, and it is written so well.There are so many cakes that we can make with storebought cakemixes that we change a little, or in some, a lot, to make that caketaste homemade. I am never buying a bakery cake again. I am readingthis book from cover to cover, literally, and really enjoying it.Oh, my waistline...

Review: This book is great when you need a quick bake or want to make something with the ingredients you have on hand. I've used cake mixes as a base before and this book just gave me a lot more ideas and inspiration.

Title: From a Die-Hard Baker
Review: I used to pride myself on my baked goods and for years made all my cakes and cookies from scratch - in fact, I turned up my nose at cake mixes. But now, with an 11-month old baby, cake mix cakes are all that I make! You'll find many delicious recipes in this book, and most can be whipped up and in the oven in under 30 minutes. I find it easiest and quickest to bake the cakes in a tube pan, and make a simple glaze to drizzle on top. Most also freeze well, so sometimes I'll bake a cake in two loaf pans and store one in the freezer to have available later. I probably bake several cakes a month - to give as thank-you's, to welcome new neighbors, to bring to dinners at friends', for my husband to take to work. You'll also find that once you get the hang of making these cakes, you'll come up with your own combinations. Don't be afraid to deviate from the cake mix and pudding flavors suggested in the recipes. My favorite combination, one that I use in many of the recipes, involves Duncan Hines Golden Butter Recipe and Butterscotch pudding mix. One recipe that took me by surprise was the biscotti - so easy, and so delicious! My only complaint about the book is that Anne offers helpful hints (e.g., substituting pan sizes, add-ins for cakes, loaf pan ideas) that are sprinkled rather haphazardly throughout the book. I find myself marking these pages with little stickies so that I can find them easily. These are the top ten recipes that I've had the greatest success with, received many compliments on, and that I make over and over again: 1 Kathy's Cinnamon Breakfast Cake (try the DH Golden Butter / Butterscotch pudding combo here - it's fantastic!) 2 Orange Dreamsicle Cake 3 Chocolate Praline Cake 4 Biscotti (try DH Golden Butter with mini chocolate chips) 5 Orange-Cinnamon Poppyseed Cake 6 Lemon Buttermilk Poppyseed Cake 7 Banana Cake 8 Favorite Apricot Nectar Cake (try coming up with your own flavor combinations, such as Pineapple cake mix, Orange Jello, and Guava nectar) 9 Pineapple Inside-Out Cake 10 Amaretto Cake And some recipes I didn't like so much: Triple-Decker Strawberry Cake (tasted like Crunchberry cereal) Toasted Coconut Sour Cream Cake (just okay, not impressed) Incredible Melted Ice-Cream Cake (haven't had great success finding an ice-cream flavor that works well in this recipe) Chocolate Better Than ? Cake (dry, not that good) Chocolate Pistachio Cake (flavor was strange) Double-Chocolate Chewies (didn't taste that great) Penuche Frosting (too difficult to work with, sets up too quickly) Have fun! - See more at: [...]

Review: I love this cookbook. I had a hard copy but lent it someone who never returned it. I was very lucky to be able to get another one even though it is paperback.
