Little Everyday Cakes: 50+ Perfectly Proportioned Confections to Enjoy Any Day of the Week
Little Everyday Cakes: 50+ Perfectly Proportioned Confections to Enjoy Any Day of the Week | Candace Floyd
7 posts | 3 to read
There's something sad about leftover cake. Ask most any home cook, and you'll find they're more of a pie or cookie baker than a cake baker. There's a problem with baking a cake: unless you're taking it to a potluck party or holiday gathering, there's just too much of it. Enter Little Cakes: 50+ Perfectly Proportioned Confections to Enjoy Any Day of the Week. Author Candace Floyd has taken the guesswork out of scaling down classic and original recipes and included them among the five-dozen delicious, easy-to-make treats that can be enjoyed any day of the week. These little cakes are perfectly sized confections serving four to eight and pack no less of a delightful wallop. With just enough to polish off in one sitting so the leftovers don't linger, these little cakes are mini versions of American favorites like Peach Upside Down Cake, Yellow Butter Cake, Hummingbird Cake, and Gingerbread Cake. Also included are original recipes that sure to be added to the family's hit list, like the One-Egg Dinner Cake, Jam Cake, and Fresh Apple Cake. With mouthwatering photos of each cake to inspire you, easy-to-follow recipes to guide you, and lovely icings and toppings to add flavorful flair, Little Everyday Cakes will be the baking cookbook you'll pull from the shelf again and again--because every day deserves a little treat.

#JamminJune #CakesAndTea This is one of my favorite cake cookbooks, and these are some of my favorite flavors of tea: Meyer Lemon, Sunny Orange Ginger, Sweet Honeydew, Blueberry Superfruit, and Licorice Spice.

squirrelbrain Yummy! Do you think Boris would mind if I flouted the rules and hopped on a train down to London?! Is that classed as necessary travel do you think? 5y
Crazeedi Mmmm good! You have my address😉💙 5y
julesG @squirrelbrain Definitely necessary travel. I've just thought I was a fool to not go flatsitting for my friend, I could have helped Mitch lick the bowl clean. 😁😜 5y

Mitch @Hooked_on_books 🤣🤣🤣Seeing as I‘ve just lost 6 months work (I work freelance😟) maybe cake production is the way to go! 5y
Hooked_on_books 6 months?!? Oh, I‘m so sorry. That sucks. I‘m glad you have a gorgeous little cake to cheer you up. 5y

Reclaimed one corner of the kitchen, cleared the work top, refreshed the shelves and I‘ve got a cake making station! I love the tagged book - as it scales everything back to enable you to make super gorgeous - but small cakes - perfect for 2!

OriginalCyn620 Love it! ❤️🍰 5y
MallenNC That looks lovely! 5y
Amandajoy I see The Baker‘s Apprentice & the Donna Hay book. I have a gift card to spend, which would you suggest for a new baking book? 5y

Cinfhen Great photo 5y
Mitch @Amandajoy the Bakers Apprentice is useful - it‘s full of charts and diagrams to convert everything you could think of. It‘s a practical book. The Donna Hay is stunningly beautiful and full of recipes that you want to cook immediately! 5y
Librariana Love this little corner of your kitchen! Great idea to use the space this way 😊 5y
julesG Love the idea of a little cake station. 5y

LeahBergen Ooooh! 😍😍 That sounds great as I usually don‘t like to make a huge cake unless I have people over to eat it. 6y
Mitch @LeahBergen that‘s exactly why I bought this one..... I love baking, but with the 2 of us it‘s always a bit much, so these scaled down versions are great! 6y
