About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

A great cookbook for any semi homemade fan
I love this cookbook. It takes a simple box cake mix and turns it into your own special signature. It gives you helpful tips and confidence for the young budding chefs to put your own touch on your favorite cake. A very useful cookbook that won't just sit on the shelf collecting dust. It would be a thoughtful gift for any young person especially moving out on their own. I like this cookbook and have given it to several nieces and nephews. A couple of nieces friends have asked for the book as well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Simplified Perfetion
This book is chock full of helpful hints and brings the joy back into baking. It was suggested to me by my 80+ year old mother and she's an "old school" kitchen wizard. I've only tried a couple of the recipes so far, but found them easy to follow and the results were beyond expectations. A must have for anyone planning on entertaining company, where dessert will be a part of the evening.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Lots of great ideas.
A friend had this recipe book and I found lots and lots of great recipes, so I bought a copy for myself. Great price and free shipping. I have truly enjoyed this cookbook; have several great ideas and have made several of the desserts. Easy to follow instructions. I would certainly recommend this cookbook to others.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Buy this only if you want really great cakes!
This book produces cakes that are fabulous. I heartily recommend it. I add additional cake mix to mine to make up for product reduction by the manufacturers. Imagine them shrinking the size! Ha!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
