Mary Berry cake books

[cherrytree Profile]

I need some help please. I’ve got Delia’s cake book. I’ve got Mary Berry’s Fast Cakes and her Ultimate Cake Book. I came across her Baking Bible the other day and have some book tokens to spend. I adore baking. Does anyone have her Ultimate book and the baking bible and if so is the bible one worth getting?

I have the Ultimate Cake Book, I have not done so but if you go to Amazon and find the Baking Bible which you can look inside the book and find the list of recipes which might answer your question.

Can't tell you about the Merry Berry book, and I'm not up on current books, but for the record my two favourite cake books in my collection are these, they've both got "look inside" option on Amazon. Coincidentally the Mary Berry Bible book comes up too when you click the Peyton link.

I have got Ultimate cakes and did have the opportunity of looking through Baking Bible a few years ago. To be honest, the latter is just an updated version of the former, so I decided to give it a miss. There is only about 6-8 extra recipes in it.

Depending on your interest, we have three chocolate tart / cake & dessert cookbooks in English, that are truly extraordinary ..

1) French Patisserie - The Ferrandi School of the Culinary Arts.

2) Pierre Hermé: Chocolate ..

3) PDF Format: Antonio Bachour: The Chocolate Book ..

All are in English.

The Cake Bible: My grandmothers and Mom have this book, and it is a good learning tool. However, I cannot compare as I do not have the books you have mentioned.

Thank you all of you. I didn’t know that it was possible to find an index on Amazon and as I discovered I don’t think my Ultimate book differs that much from her bible. I’m not really looking for further recommendations- I just love baking, I’m a busy granny of 9 who makes cakes for the family and endless fundraising events in the village hall and around and even had an English cake stall in our village in France last summer. I’m not really a sophisticated pattiserie woman (for home made stuff anyway!)

I thought there was only one baking book - the Bero one!

I love the Hummingbird Bakery one though.

I do have the Be Ro one as well Joan. Well of course!
