Lots of great recipes - By: Bluebell, 26 Oct 2008 
This is an excellent book & one of the best about baking. I've made lots of the recipes & they've all turned out well. The photos of the finished items look inviting & inspiring. I think that the various writers of recipe have areas of cooking that they particularly enjoy & the books on that topic are their best & I feel that Mary Berry likes baking.
Mary Berry, my saviour! - By: Mrs. C. L. Laxton, 05 Oct 2008 My Mum gave this to me as a present several years ago & I haven't looked back since. I had failure after failure with cakes until I got this book. Very easy to follow & great results. I have had to adjust some baking times due to having a fan oven. It has given me so much confidence that I have now entered the local horticultural society's baking competitions for different cakes & have been over the moon to get lots of 1st & 2nd places. I also do the traybakes & cakes for my son's local rugby team (U18's) which are always cleared away, even the crumbs! My favourite cookbook of all time, thank you, Mary Berry, from a once reluctant baker.
A wonderful book of recipes - By: Sofia, 06 Sep 2008 I have tried several recipes from this book & the end result have always been scrumptious. My family's firm favourite at the minute is the carrot cake.
Delicious - By: Ms. A. Gliksten, 24 May 2008 I have made several of the recipesin this book & all have been delicious, i particularly like the section on Traybakes, which as a mum is perfect for school teas & birthdays, i have had lots of compliments from the results of this book & am always recommending it to others.
The Bible!! - By: Carmella Soprano, 18 Mar 2008 I've loved this book - it turned me into a confirmed cake baker! It's simply written, the recipes are pretty easy to follow & I've had a go & more than half of them with only a couple of disappointments. I'm about to buy two more copies for friends who are inspired by tasting my cakes (v. flattering) to try making their own, they'll soon realise it's not me - it's Mary Berry!
