To Die For

This cookbook is wonderful! Be warned - many of the dozens of recipes are time consuming to prepare. This isn't a cookbook if you are looking for a quick cake. However, the end results are indescribably good. The General Robert E Lee cake, a lemon cake with lemon filling and frosting, is one of the best things I have ever eaten! The book also contains recipes for some of the cakes I used to beg my mother to make: Devil's Food Cake, Harvest Peanut Cake, Lazy-Dazy Cake, and Pineapple Upside-down Cake. There are illustrations, old pictures, and interesting tidbits of information accompanying the recipes. It is as much fun to read as it is to use.

Fabulous Cakes

I have made and tasted about 20 of the recipes in this book and they are all straightforward and delicious. Some of my favorites include the Hoot n' Holler Whisky , Carrot , and Whacky Cakes. My Mom has had a copy of this book for years; I'm delighted to have found one for myself. The recipies are definitely not lowfat but, my, are they good!
