A delightful book, with a wide selection of calorie-laden, completely scrumptious treats for any occasion. The recipes are well-set out, easy to follow, and include hints and tips. Mary has thoughtfully included sections on various baking techniques with step-by-step 'how to' instructions and photographs. Beautifully presented. I hope that my future efforts look half as good as those in the photographs. A great gift for the budding baker in your life. ( )
