Perfectly arranged in such a logical and user friendly way. Each and every recipe has a photo of not only the cake in its entirety on a stand, but what we all want to see, the cut slice with the layers! She also begins the book with a ton of great tips, just like what you would learn in a baking class. The first 50 pages are devoted to teaching and helpful tips and tools to use to be successful. Courtney has always been so generous sharing her recipes online. Many chefs and bakers do not divulge all the best methods and practices to be truly successful. They like to keep a few tricks for themselves. Not the case with Courtney. She shares it all and it makes me in turn want to share my successful hints with everyone too that I have gleaned from her recipes. Then we get to the recipes. Each cake has the ingredients listed, grams included which I love. The ingredients for the frostings and fillings are also listed. Then comes the directions to make each layer. Lastly is the assembly. Such a fun and great way to follow along. Each cake follows the same sequence so it is predictable and super easy to follow. I must admit, I was always a pie girl but now that I have tried and made many of her recipes successfully with great compliments from friends and family, I may have become a "convert" to cakes!
