Getting to the core of female sexuality... one layer at a time.

Play with yourself. Play with a friend. Play with a toy. This book explores most imaginable areas of female sexuality, including the parts that women are ashamed of discussing, and those that we, as women, are anxiously waiting for it to be OK to discuss! If you are a woman buying this book, read it alone in a quiet, comfortable place. Chances are, you will not be so much shocked as relieved. Much of the book says things "out loud" that you thought you should be embarrassed about. If you are anything like me and everyone I know that has read CAKE, you will finish reading every last word and wind up shutting the book thinking, "Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one!" You might call yourself a "freak," but you'll be saying it this time with a positive, not negative, connotation! If you are a man buying this book, do so with humility. The woman's body is phenomenal -- inside and out -- and this book seems to cover that in detail over 304 informative, captivating, nearly self-turning pages! Don't think of CAKE as some sort of insider's guide to be taken advantage of as if the "secret" to being a player is being revealed, because if you learn anything from CAKE, you'll learn that we, ourselves, know best how to make ourselves FEEL the best, and neither batteries, nor men, are required for that feeling! If you are wise, this book will make you more humble and more aware of the endless possibilities in how to bring your woman to the most amazing feeling in the world. And keeping her there!

First time buyer

A good friend bought this book for me after going to a cake event in San Francisco and I am so happy she did. The best thing about this book is that it discusses the notion that women should love their bodies. The authors say that when women love our bodies, orgasms will be more plentiful and it allows you to more freely express sexual desires. It is so important to understand your body and to express a positive sexual image especially these days when being sexy means something very different. After reading this book, I walked away with a better sense of how my sexuality can improve other parts of my life and at the same time I remembered what feeling sexy can do for my overall sense of well being.

Women have come a long way, baby!

This book is a real breakthrough for women of all ages who desire to fully embrace their sexuality and break free of outmoded codes of sexual behavior. This is not a technique or clinical advice book, but rather a real live connection to women's true fantasies and turn-ons,vividly brought to life by honest sexually-driven women - a shattering of obsolete stereotypes! A statement in the chapter "Express yourself" especially hit home with me: "At the end of the day, you are defined by how you feel, not by what someone else thinks of you". So true. For any person, man or woman, who feels passionately about women finally coming into their own as whole human beings, this book is the real deal.

The best CAKE you could ever consume...

I have been a CAKE member for two years now and seriously recommend any girl to become one - I have had the most fun of my life at CAKE parties and I mean it! As for the book - it's a greatttt read!! It's sexy, kinky, funny, open-minded, extremely on-point, and SUCH A TURN ON! Girls - you definitely need this book - it will open you up to a whole other level!

Having my cake and eating it too

I loved this book! A Piece of Cake answers all the questions I have had about my body, sexy thoughts, fantasies and sex. Finally a guidebook that treats women with respect and focuses on pleasure instead of the outdated and inappropriate notions that women don't like sex and that sexuality is not important to us. I would recommend this book to every woman who feels like she needs an outlet to explore her sexuality. A great read - fun, accessbile and right on!
