Enter for a Chance to Win a Copy of Surprise-Inside Cakes
Amanda Rettke, FN Dish contributor and founder of the I Am Baker blog, is serving some of her most-beautiful confections yet in her first cookbook, Surprise-Inside Cakes. In Amanda's book, there's no such thing as an ordinary chocolate or vanilla cake with frosting (not that there's anything wrong with that). Just like opening up a gift, the element of surprise is within each baked good, whether it be a heart, football, smiley face, stripe or house (yes, a house). Simply put, if you want to wow guests at your next gathering, make one of Amanda's cakes.
What caught FN Dish's eye? The entire book. Each page is more colorful than the one before, and there's a surprise-inside design for every occasion: celebrating holidays, family, love and life events (like moving to a new home). Have a cake recipe you've perfected? Great. Because Amanda encourages using tried-and-true recipes, but she's provided a few of her favorites too.
At first glance some of the cakes may seem like a challenge, but Amanda's included step-by-step photos and instructions for each one. And be wise: Don't start out with the most difficult design!
