[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't recommend this book for a total novice, but if you decide to specialize in cakes, Rose Levy Bernbaum's The Cake Bible is as its name suggests. She lists ingredients by weight. She explains the thinking behind her ingredient ratios, how the cakes are mixed, the temperatures, everything. Baking is more scientific than cooking. It's more about chemistry. Unless you're a master chef and are creating your own recipes, it's all about following directions. Once you've bought all the necessary equipment and gotten past the learning curve, it can be very satisfying to see the results. It's also fun to bake for family and friends, especially when you can make something that looks impressive. Have fun! [/quote]
