Baking with the Cake Boss: 100 of Buddy's Best Recipes and Decorating Secrets
Description
Buddy Valastro, the star of TLC’s smash hit Cake Boss shares everything a home
cook needs to know about baking as he takes readers through the same
progressive training he had in his own apprenticeship. Call it the Buddy
system, because Baking with the Cake Boss is an education in the art of baking
and decorating, from kneading to rolling, fondant to flowers, taught by Buddy
Valastro himself, the star of TLC’s smash hit Cake Boss. With more than 100 of
his most sought-after recipes, including birthday and holiday cakes and other
special theme designs, this book is a master course that culminates in the
showstopping cakes for which Carlo’s Bake Shop is famous. Following the arc of
Buddy’s career from apprentice to master baker, Baking with the Cake Boss
offers readers the same on-the-job education earned by everyone who comes to
work at Carlo’s Bake Shop, with some of Buddy’s and the family’s memories
shared along the way. It builds organically from simple cookies and pastries
to pies, flower-adorned cupcakes, and basic fondant cakes, to breathtaking
cakes for every holiday and special occasion. And, as you progress from basics
to bedazzlements—like the safari cake complete with chocolate animals and a
waterfall—Buddy shares his inspiring enthusiasm and stories from the shop in
his inimitable voice. He also provides the tools for creating your own
personal trademark cakes, with a chart that lets you mix and match cake,
frosting, and liqueur syrup for cakes the way you like them. And there are
plenty of photos that illustrate artistic flourishes and decorations you can
use to adorn your individual creations. With 650 gorgeous, step-by-step
instructional photos that let you follow Buddy as if you were next to him in
the bakery, Baking with the Cake Boss is an incomparable dessert education
that will become an essential reference for aspiring and skilled bakers alike.
Bursting with delicious, tried-and-true recipes, how-to boxes and sidebars,
and numerous tricks of the trade, Baking with the Cake Boss is a rare treat—a
fun, accessible guide to baking, all in a gloriously designed, fully
illustrated package worthy of the Cake Boss’s artistic vision. Read more
