The Cake Mix Doctor is in! And the prescription is simple: By doctoring up packaged cake mix with just the right extras--a touch of sweet butter here, cocoa powder there, or poppy seeds, vanilla yogurt, sherry, eggs, and grated lemon zest for the Charleston Poppy Seed Cake--even the least experienced baker can turn out luscious signature desserts, time after time. The proof is in the taste, and the taste never stops--from Toasted Coconut Sour Cream Cake to Devilishly Good Chocolate Cake; from a to-die-for Caramel Cake and a Holiday Yule Log to cheesecakes, coffee cakes, sheet cakes, pound cakes, bars, brownies, and those all-important frostings, here are 175 fast, foolproof recipes that will transform the art of home baking in America.
Who could believe these cakes came out of a box? Moist, tender, rich, deep, and complexly flavored, without a hint of artificiality, each cake stand up and delivers. But without any of the fuss of baking from scratch. Anne Byrn, an award-wining food writer and self-described purist, creates recipes that employ a cake mix's strengths---convenience, ease-of-use, dependability, and almost imperviousness to overbeating, underbeating, overbaking, and underbaking.
In addition to the recipes are the Cake Mix Doctor's Q&A's, extensive "Doctor Says" tips, lists--15 Beautiful Birthday Cakes, 15 Cakes That Will Cash in at a Bake Sale--and more, all illustrated in a full-color photographic insert.

Summary: CAKE DOCTOR
Comment: I SAW A COPY OF CAKE DOCTOR THAT A FRIEND HAD. IT LOOKED GREAT.
NONE OF THE STORES AROUND ME HAD THE BOOK.
SO I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND IT ON AMAZON.COM.
SINCE JULY 1 I HAVE MADE TWO OF THE RECIPES EACH TWICE.
EVERYONE RAVES ABOUT THE CAKES. THEY ARE WONDERFUL.
MY HUSBAND SAYS ONE OF THE CAKES IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER MADE. WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 27 YEARS AND I HAVE MADE MANY MANY CAKES.
IT IS A TREASURE TO HAVE AND I INTEND TO BUY MORE COPIES FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
GLAD TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL SOMEONE.

Summary: Great cookbook!
Comment: I had checked this book out from the library and liked it so much that I ordered a copy for 1 daughter's birthday, another as part of my other daughter's wedding gifts, and of course a copy for myself!

Summary: Very Easy Cake Baking!
Comment: Very easy to understand and put together recipes, "however", you really need to keep an eye on everything...some recipes need to bake for a longer period of time or they are not done through and through and some recipes don't need to be baked as long as stated!
I make notes on every page of every recipe in this book,as I bake them, so I know what to do should I want to make the recipe again! So far these are the only problems I have found in this book. Otherwise it is great. Who would of thought you could do so much with "boxed" cake mixes! I would recommend it to any one who says they can't bake!! Like me!
