I grew up using the Australian womens weekly cookbooks, and of all the cookbooks I own they provide the most reliable, fail proof recipes. They are my go to cookbooks when I want solid advise and a recipe that is clear concise and works. Their books are what every cookbook dreams to be so I was delighted to find this book in my local second hand book sale shortly after I decided to wash away the covid mandate blues by taking up a new hobby of baking and cake decorating. The book is full of great instructions, and in true AWW fashion, clearly explained and with lots of photos. The best part is all the recipes at the back that give you cake ingredients and baking instructions for multiple sizes of cakes. Lots of ideas and tips starting from basic to advanced, and details about the tools and tricks, from icing to boards and everything in between. Although I might get inspiration for cakes from various sources, this book tells me how to put all the components together so I can pull it off with confidence. Thank you AWW.
