Book Reviews of Party Animal Cakes: 15 Fantastic Designs
Book Review: Careful with the recipe
Summary: 3 Stars
The pictures are gorgeous and the instructions seem detailed. However, all of the cakes are based on just two recipes. I tried the Madeira cake and I wished I had tested it before I bought all my supplies. (I am too embarrassed to admit how much I spent on those!). I knew something was the matter by the batter consistency. It was very thick. It thought it was strange that the cake recipe didn't call for any liquid, just eggs. Also, the cake recipe didn't ask for any baking powder or baking soda. Just half the flour was supposed to be "self-rising". Now, granted "zelfrijzend" flour in the Netherlands is what I had to use instead of the self rising flour that the author used. It maybe doesn't have enough rising agent in it to work as the author used. Suffice to say the cake that resulted was as hard as a brick, and about 1/2 as high as it needed to be for the animal I planned to make. Be careful with the cake recipes in this book.
