What Customers Say About 101 More Things to do with a Cake Mix:

OMG, just soooooo delicious. My only gripe was it's a little pricey but hey if you make several recipes and then pass the recipes around to friends it pays for itself.Just so you know, the apple cakes are to die for. Great way to snap up an easy dessert to take out to a pot luck supper or surprise your hostess at a dinner party. Since receiving this book I have tried several of the recipes and they are really delicious. Very easy to make with small ingredient lists is the perfect addition to even the lazy cooks cookbook shelf.

My only regret is that I really like cookbooks with pictures and there are none in this book. I just received this book a couple of weeks ago. I think this is a must have book for anyone who has even a small library of cookbooks. The recipes are fabulous and most look to be extremely easy. My daughter borrowed the book after I HIGHLY recommended one of the recipes. She has since found a couple of recipes she HIGHLY recommends.

Well thought out recipes.Clear and easy directions.Easy to find ingredients and many already on hand.I only wish there was a photo of the finished recipe.

These cookbooks gave excellent and simple meal preperation and desert ideas with the few supplies & staff we had on hand. Most importantly, the crew was always satisfied. As an ocean going chef the "101" cookbook series is the chef/cook's best friend. It's all common sense but these ladies take the brain damage out of meal & desert planning. I'd recommend the series for the beginning cook or one that is short on time. I found a collection of these very handy cookbooks on my last ship and I knew I had to have my own copies. The ship was short handed and it ran out of basic cooking & baking supplies.

The ingredients are little more than a cake mix and a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. ~The Rebecca ReviewP.S. All I have left to say is, you will get requests for the cakes in this book. Wonderful recipes for home cooking in the winter. I've never used glass or stoneware baking dishes for cakes, so that is a new idea for me. Stephanie Ashcraft's mother taught her "that anything could be made with a cake mix." It does seem to be true. This tiny, easy-to-read cookbook has recipes for everything from Red Raspberry Dream Cake to Peaches and Cream Pudding Bars. What amazed me about this cookbook is the sheer simplicity of the recipes and the absolute beauty of the results.

It is not every day that I try a new recipe and then bravely take the cake to a party, but these books are winners. Also look for the 101 Things To Do with a Slow Cooker books. LOVE the binding on these cookbooks. I just made the Pistachio Cake again this November. Some of the recipes you might enjoy: Orange RollsSweet Banana Bread - only 4 ingredientsButterscotch Chip Oatmeal Cookies Blueberry Swirl CakeChewy Peanut BarsPumpkin CheesecakeIf you love this cookbook, try the first 101 Things to Do With a Cake Mix. Great to cook from and everyone loves the recipes. There are a few helpful hints on page 9 that teach you a few tricks about baking cakes, making chewier cookies and keeping fruit fresh.

I look forward to trying more of the recipes as soon as I can get to the store to buy more cake mixes and instant puddings. It turned out to be "Moist, chocolaty, pistachio, dream cake." My relatives were impressed. I've been buying my cake pans from "Jane's Cakes & Chocolates." The results were rather stunning when I used the pans she sells. I can highly recommend the recipe for Pistachio Pound Cake.
