Brilliant Baking Step-By-Step

Hello! Welcome to The Pink Whisk Guide to Cake Making: Brilliant Baking Step-by-Step. It’s full of delicious 

cake recipes for all sorts of occasions, with helpful step-by-step photos so you know you’re on the right 

track. Some of the recipes started out life on the blog but have all been thoroughly reworked (25 versions 

of Golden Syrup Cake later…) to make them even more delicious.

This book is not just about the recipes (although of course they do taste great) – it’s about making all 

your cake making even better than before. The pages are loaded with tips and tricks and explanations as 

to why you should do a certain something at a specific stage – the sort of thing that’s missed out of most 

recipe books. You’ll then be able to apply these techniques to all of your cake making – turning you into a 

Cake Grand Master. They’ll be queuing up at the door for a slice!

The book is split into three sections by method; creaming method cakes, whisking method cakes 

and melting method cakes. There are cakes for everyone and everything. Each recipe also has its own 

variation – change a bit of this and a bit of that and ta dah! – giving you inspiration to mix up your own 

flavour combinations.

Don’t be frightened of experimenting or using a recipe as the basis for something else. The Ultimate 

Chocolate Cake, for example, makes an equally good teatime chocolate cake, a chocolate cake for 

decorating, huge muffins or even cupcakes – the world is your oyster, or the oven is your lobster. Whatever 

the weather get stuck in and make your cake baking brilliant!
