Cakewalk : loving spoonfuls from a Southern kitchen : 25 cake recipes
Robbin Gourley (Auteur, Illustrateur), Doubleday & Company, Inc (Éditeur), Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group (Éditeur)
"A cakewalk is a promenade in which the couple performing the most intricate steps wins a cake as their prize. It's a great Southern tradition, and so is the art of baking. Robbin Gourley learned her baking skills as a child in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, from her grandmother Mattie and the other women in her family. Now she is passing along twenty-five of her most cherished family recipes, beautifully embellished with her own watercolor illustrations and fond memories of making the cakes and sharing them with relatives and friends. From towering, showstopping classics like Lady Baltimore Cake and Southern Coconut Layer Cake, to amusing preparations like Krazy Kake and Red Velvet Cake, to decadent Very Moist Chocolate Layer Cake and those, like Pick-of-the-Day Fruitcake, that show off the bounty of a Southern fruit harvest, each one of these is a cake that home cooks from Maine to California can and will make over and over again. None requires any special decorating skill or the use of any unusual equipment. What better evidence of that famous Southern hospitality could there be than the sharing of these delicious family treasures, so specially and lovingly presented?"--Taken from front cover flap
