I received this book a couple of Christmas’ ago and I fell in love with it instantly. It’s beautifully laid out and simple to follow.
The popular Hummingbird Bakery in London is renowned for its delicious baked goods and Cake Days contains over 100 recipes for a variety of sweet and savoury treats. With chapters organised around holidays or events such as Halloween and Christmas, each contains a selection of baking suggestions to help celebrate each occasion.
The white chocolate and cranberry cookies, blueberry crumble loaf and walnut and honey loaf are big hits in my home.
I am fond of this book as it got me to bake more and since moving to Norway Sundays have become Bake Day at home. I can open it up and have something in the oven in a short time without too much stress.
Pros
Beautiful photos
Easy to follow
Impresses all those I share the end results with
Cons
Would have liked a few more hints and tips to help me along
The icing options are a little to sickly sweet for my taste, but I can amend that
The Verdict
This book is an essential for those that enjoy dabbling in baking and require a few new ideas to get them on their way.
I’ve tried the Chocolate Guinness Cake, so easy but so good!
