The recipes are over and above any ordinary box cake recipes. Ms. Byrn turns each one into a masterpiece with very little effort! I have made so many of the desserts and have given them out and people tell me I shouldn't have gone through the trouble of making cake from scratch. This is high praise and I have to agree...with a little extra effort folks will think you are the best baker. What I like is that you can tweak the recipes to your taste and they still come out delicious! One of the easiest chocolate mixes is the "Amazing German Chocolate Cake" which, believe it or not, uses a container of coconut pecan frosting IN the mix! Everyone loved it! Not just your mama's boxed cake mix.
I really enjoy how simple the recipes are. Each and every one is very doable even for people like myself who are not bakers. Just abour every recipe I have tried has been very tasty. There is an excellent variety of recipes in this book, including some very versatile icing and frosting recipes. My only very slight objection is some of the recipes which include fruits and chocolate hold no appeal for me so I know I will not use them. However, for someone else this might be great. I definitely recommend this book others.
I have loved this book since I first purchased it in 2001. I had already purchased the original Cake Mix Doctor in 1999, so when the Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor came out, I had to have it too. I have made so many of the recipes, some have become favorites and I keep trying new ones. I especially like the recipes for bars and cookies, but of course the cakes are delicious also with very little effort. People can not believe they start with a mix. I was surprised to find both books on e-Bay and half.com, because I could not believe that anyone would want to part with these books. I ordered two of each, one each for my daughter and daughter-in-law. Now my two grand-daughters want them also. Great books!
I bought this cake recipe book because 1-it is box cake mixes used, 2-there is lots of chocolate recipes of course for one of my grandsons who loves chocolate cake. I am sure I will love keeping this boy happy and every one else too for that matter with all the choices this recipe book has to offer.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book is so easy to use and your friends will never believe you made it yourself! "Remodel" any cake mix in your cupboard and you will be happy you tried it. The original 'cake doctor' book was good and the chocolate version is just as great! Fun, easy and almost something from nothing!
