Global Bakery

In a change from the ubiquitous cup cakes and traditional cake books, The Global Bakery has gathered together over 60 recipes of cakes from all around the world in one volume. The amateur baker is taken on a journey across continents to Cote d'Ivoire (Soft Cake with Pineapple and Coconut), Libya (Semolina and Date Cake), Finland (Sour Cream Cake), Hungary (Chocolate Mousse Cake), Cambodia (Persimmon Cake), USA (Red Velvet Cake) and Hawaii (Guava Chiffon Cake) to name just a few. The recipes have been tested in a domestic kitchen by a highly enthusiastic cake baker and are presented in one beautifully photographed book. Accessible by even the most inexperienced cooks, this book also gives the opportunity for experienced cake bakers to learn new techniques while adding to their repertoire. The emphasis is on creating delicious cakes that are prepared using different combinations of flavours and ingredients. It includes recipes that are gluten free, as well as recipes for vegan and dairy-free cakes. All tastes are catered for - from quick and easy cakes that children will have fun creating and eating, to the more challenging but ultimately impressive cakes for a centrepiece or special occasion.
