Anyone Can Cake is HERE!

February 28, 2023 · In: Cake Basics, Featured, Lifestyle

My debut cake book, Anyone Can Cake, has LAUNCHED in North America today and I’m still pinching myself about it! Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and has been patiently awaiting this day with me! From now on, you’ll be able to get yourself a copy of my book at your local bookstores and order online from a variety of fine retailers. 

If you live outside of North America, your launch day is coming SOON – by April at the latest! You can pre-order your copy here if you haven’t already, and once the worldwide launch happens you’ll be able to see my book in your local bookstores too. I’ll be sure to celebrate with you all then!

A Taste of What’s Inside

This book was a total labor of love and I’m so thrilled for you to finally see it in person! If you’ve been following me for a while you know how passionate I am about sharing delicious yet approachable recipes and giving you all the info you need to make your cakes look as beautiful as they taste. Because of that, I wrote Anyone Can Cake as more than a collection of recipes – it’s an all-encompassing guide to baking, building, and decorating perfect layer cakes as well.

The first half of the book will help you master baking the perfect cake layers, building them into a structurally sound layer cake, and decorating your cake with a wide variety of frosting finishes, styles and techniques.

You’ll learn how to color the perfect buttercream palette, create a flawless drip cake, and add finishing touches like piping and sprinkles.

The second half of the book gives you all the recipes you could need to practice with, from my collection of personal favorites to creative, book-exclusive layer cakes.

    My book arrived today and I’m super excited! It’s such a great book for both beginners and advanced bakers. I’m most excited for the color section!! One quick question – can you share what brand of cake flour you use? I find the results vary by brand and I’d prefer to bake with the brand you use. Thanks!!
