Overview

The diversity of the world's cakes are represented for the first time in one thoroughly researched volume. Amateur baker Anna Weston is taken on a journey across the continents visiting Cote d'Ivoire, Libya, Finland, Hungary, Azerbaijan, India, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, USA, Colombia and many more countries along the way. She soon discovered an amazing richness of cakes and found herself investigating cakes and delicacies that are well beyond the scope of most other books about cake-making.
