The book is full of so many great cakes! I hope you get a copy and thoroughly enjoy it!
Aaannndddd just in case you missed it, you can get your copy of the cookbook here. 🙂
I’ve made several of your recipes & they’ve turned out great. However, just recently I can’t print/use any recipes because the font is about a 4 & the advertising at the bottom of the first page blocks out several steps. For instance, the Spice Cake recipe’s steps 12-18 are blocked out. I guess I won’t be able to continue receiving the recipes if I don’t have all of the instructions.
Silly question, I’m not sure if this was asked/answered already: Is your cookbook a hardcover, or paperback?
The cookbook is paperback. 🙂
Do you have any suggestions on turning your Samoa cake into cupcakes?
Hmm, I’d probably do the caramel coconut filling as a filling in the middle of the cupcakes. Then I might top the cupcakes with caramel frosting (you’d probably need to increase that recipe to cover them all) and then maybe drizzle them with some chocolate ganache. Maybe even add a little toasted coconut to the top for decoration. If you use the full recipe for the cake, you’d probably end up with about 24 cupcakes, so you might also need additional filling. Hard to know for sure without trying it out. I hope that helps!
Do you think the batter for this cake will be too thin for cupcakes? Trial and error I guess!
Which cake? You commented on a post about my book.
Hi, Lindsay! Is your book homemade cakes come with another cover? I wanted to order from bookdepository.com but the cover of the book shown on the website was different from the one sold on amazon. Can you please clarify my doubt as I would bery much love to order your book. Thanks! Happy easter!
I can’t guarantee anything, because I’m not real familiar with that site. But I do know that there is another cover floating around. My publisher originally had a different photo being used prior to us choosing the cover. If it’s a grey background with a pink cake, it should be ok.
Yes, it is. Thanks for your reply.
i really LOVE all of your recipes, im trying to make all of them. Congrats! you are such a good chef
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoy them!
I just received your book in Greece. I think i’m in heaven.
Keep doing what you’re doing, and we’ll keep follow your recipes.
Best Wishes!!!
I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Does your cookbook have these cakes posted on your website?
I have shared a few cakes from the book on the site to promote the book, but otherwise the recipes in the book are all new/different.
Wow Linsay I am Greatfull meeting your website and found the best cake receipt.. OMG. THANK YOU LOVE from INDONESIA
I realized most of my pins on Pinterest were from your site, so I started looking through your blog and really enjoyed everything on here. I saw you had a cake recipe book so added it to my wishlist and got it for my birthday! I’ve made your vanilla layer cake and the cherry chocolate chip ice cream cake and they were both a huge hit and delicious! I’ve been baking for 23 years and been constantly searching for the best and easiest recipes and your vanilla cake is a definite keeper! Can’t wait to try more of them…after my diet ends! ???? May God bless you and your journey with your family. Praying!
Thanks so much Charity! Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipes – both in the book and on the site!
Thank you for the prayers as well!
