There are three little words that baking aficionados around the world know—Rose Levy Beranbaum. Her fans call her the “Diva of Desserts” and her first book, The Cake Bible is a staple in the kitchen of every serious baker. Now, 21-years later, Rose follows up with Rose’s Heavenly Cakes.

It features meticulous cake recipes with a mouth watering, full-color picture of every single one. Rose features butter and oil cakes, fluted-pan cakes, baby cakes, sponge cakes and even wedding cakes. Each recipe has been tested and retested to achieve the perfect results every time, and detailed directions and instructional photographs will guide home bakers through every step of the baking process. The book includes a section on Special Effects and Techniques, such as piping techniques, working with chocolate, and crystallizing flowers and leaves, as well as chapters on ingredients and equipment and a useful source guide.
