Review: A classic cookbook....................... - Rosie, Rosie, Rosie!! You are a queen upon a very special pedestal which has very few equals! And anyone who possesses this tome of baking knowledge will absolutely agree! Rose Levy-Beranbaum has outdone herself in her latest offering of baking excellence! Where her "Cake Bible" was a standard for many years, this has outdone even that book! The first time I met Rose was at a tiny little bookstore in Chicago many, many years ago. She was there for the signing of "Cake Bible" and she was the very first professional baker/chef that I had met on the beginning journey of my road to serious baking/cooking. She was most kind and gracious and I remember thinking of what a wonderful life would lie ahead for this sweet lady. Needless to say, her "Cake Bible" became a standard for many people but this latest offering from her talented mind is exquiste and is by far, one of the very best learning and reference books ever! Also, within the last couple of years, I have enjoyed her website/blog which makes her even more accessible for general or specific questions on baking. The journey she took us on while making this wonderful new book was a joy to follow. It is a large, heavy, detailed book of cakes, cupcakes, bars, baby-size cakes with excellent photography, all printed on heavy, high-end paper to for which you would expect of books of this quality. Immediately at the introduction of each recipe, you have the serving size and baking time, followed by a brief synopsis of what she feels is the essence of that particular recipe. Then the "Batter" ingredients are laid out in a graphic form in which you are given the ingredients, with the Volume listed next to it, then the Weights of each ingredient, in both American and Metric form. Under this graph of information begins the steps to be taken beginning with any special equipment that would be needed, oven preparation, then the actual preparation of the batter. Any variations that could be taken, as well as "Highlights for Success" are listed and very much appreciated in that sometimes, there are little tricks, sidebars of information, and alternatives that you can incorporate into making the recipe a bit easier or more grand. For example, I never realized that the leavening agents within cupcakes require that you bake them immediately or they will lose the power of that ingredient, so unless you have a large oven to bake all the batter at one shot, you're better off making the batter in batches. Also, the presentation of these creations can be made so much more impressive with just a little creative help such as gingerbread boys and girls encircling a "Ginger Cheesecake" (who would have thunk it?) or using ladyfingers as an upright band of crust for the "Cranberry Crown Cheesecake" which also have a lovely wide ribbon around their base for an extraordinary presentation. Being someone who appreciates photography in a cookbook, the photo's contained within are both superb and generous, with close-up shots that show detail. There is also single or sequential photography for certain cakes that require more intimate knowledge of preparation or assembly such as the "Holiday Pinecone Cake" (it acutal looks like a pinecone) or how to make "Spun Sugar" or how to pipe the "Ladyfingers", etc. Sometimes, just one little photo will clarify a question in your mind and Rose seems to know which step would benefit from a photo. Many of the cakes have their finished photo in this grand book but not all, though there are enough to satisfy everyone. Her book is constructed as such: Foreward Acknowledgements Introduction Rose's Rules of Cake Baking (Though you may know these tips, this is an essential read) BUTTER and OIL CAKES: Apple Upside-Down Cake, Plum and Blueberry Upside Down Torte, She Loves Me Cake (a standard batter using the Nordic Pan Daisy Cake pan), White Velvet Cake w/ Milk Chocolate Ganache, Heavenly Coconut Seduction Cake, Southern Manhatten Coconut Cake w/ Silk Meringue Buttercream, Whipped Cream Cake, Karmel Cake (that's spelled correctly per book), Spice Cake w/ Peanut Buttercream, Golden Lemon Almond Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Sour Cream Cake, Woody's Lemon Luxury Layer Cake, Apple-Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake, Marble Velvet Cake, Chocolate Streusel Coffee Cake, Swedish Pear and Almond Cream Cake, Cradle Cake (a buttermilk batter with dacquoise cake), Sicilian Pistachio Cake, Gateau Breton (as Rose states, the outside looks like pastry but the inside is moist and tender), Sticky Toffee Pudding, Enlish Gingerbread Cake, Fruitcake Wreath, Rose Red Velvet Cake, Chocolate Tomato Cake w/ Mystery Ganache (you actually use a can of tomato soup!), Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cake, Chocolate Banana Stud Cake, Devil's Food Cake w/ Midnght Ganache, Chocolate Layer Cake w/ Caramel Ganache, Bernachon Palet d'Or Gateau (the cover cake, "merci Rose!"), Double Choclate Valentine, Chocoalte Velvet Fudge Cake, Black Chocolate Party Cake, Classic Carrot Cake w/ Dreamy Creamy White Chocolate Frosting, Pumpkin Cake w/ Burnt Orange Silk Meringue Buttercream, Many-Splendored Quick Bread, Banana Refrigerator Cake w/ Dreamy Creamy White Chocolate Frosting, German Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Ice Cream Cake or Sandwich SPONGE CAKES: Angel Food Cake, Chocolate Tweed Angel Food Cake, Chocolate Apricot Roll w/ Laquer Cake, Genoise Rose, White Gold Passion Genoise, True Orange Genoise, Genoise Tres Cafe, Chocolate Genoise w/Peanut Butter Whipped Ganache, Moist Chocolate Raspberry Genoise, Red Fruit Shortcake, Catalan Salt Pinch Cake (a great story with this cake), Almond Shamah Chiffon, Orange Glow Chiffon Layer Cake, Lemon Meringue Cake, Torta de las Tres Leches, Apple Caramel Charlotte, Chocolate Raspberry Trifle, Saint Honore Trifle (beautiful presentation with spun sugar!), Holiday Pinecone Cake MOSTLY FLOURLESS CAKES and CHEESECAKES: (for those with celiac or gluten allergies, this is great!)

Absolutely...............many years of referring to Rose's "Cake Bible", "Bread Bible", and "Christmas Cookies" have made me a ardent follower and trusting devotee of Rose. This is without a doubt one of the best books that I've seen and I would absolutely rank this as an instant classic. I would describe this not only as a wonderful book of recipes but an excellent teaching tool and reference guide to place on a more prominent part of your book shelve. A deep bow of gratitude to our Rosie!! Review: Fantastic Recipes - NOT SUPERSWEET desserts - First off, I used to not like cakes, mainly because commercial American cakes were just too darn sweet! Sugar, sugar, sugar would be what I tasted (just had a sugar loaded cupcake from a popular upscale bakery yesterday and couldn't get beyond the first bite). However, recipes fro this author has converted me to a cake lover (maybe not so good for me). This book produces cakes that are much more sophisticated in flavor than what you get from the grocery store or even some bakeries and not too sweet. They are also not too difficult to produce, mainly because the author's instructions are precise and clear. Sure, some of them are more time consuming, but the results are rewarding. My philosophy is that if I'm going to feed myself something unhealthy, like cake, I would rather have the best tasting cake and not waste my calories on mediocre or subpar cakes using cheap, ingredients that are meant for mass production. This book is not for those who do not like detailed instructions, who are in a rush, who thinks that a cake from a fast food joint is delicious. They may find this book frustrating, too demanding or cakes not sweet enough. What I also like is that she does offer some alternatives - for example the Red Velvet cake had instructions for using beet juice as an alternative to food coloring. I have made it using beet juice for the color and it turned out fabulous! The picture are fabulous and help me decide on what to make. I own this book for about a year now and have not had a bad cake yet. Tiramisu had rave reviews from the wedding guests. Pumpkin cake was gobbled up by hubby who doesn't like cakes! White chocolate cream cheese frosting is to die for. Carrot cake was great! Can't wait to make the coconut cake this week! With regards to using weight measurements vs. volumetric. Most of the world (outside of the US) uses weights and metric system for baking because it's more accurate (flour and other dry ingredients settle in their containers). Even the amount of cereal in boxes are listed by their weight. So, I appreciate that the book lists the ingredients by weight. It's also nice that it lists volume as well. I, too, own the Cake Bible and I like that this book has oil based cakes. They make better cupcakes than the butter cakes from the Cake Bible. Better means that I no longer have problems with the cake pulling away from the liner (both sides and bottom) with the butter cakes. Did lots of searches and concluded it may be due to higher fat content. If anyone knows or has link to recent answers to this perplexing problem, I would appreciate feedback! ## Features - Rose's Heavenly Cakes is a must-have guide to perfect cake-baking from this award-winnin... - 512 pages, hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #441,718 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #113 in Cake Baking (Books) #1,841 in Culinary Arts & Techniques (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 568 Reviews | ## Images ![Rose's Heavenly Cakes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g6Wm9jZeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic cookbook....................... *by T***I on September 25, 2009* Rosie, Rosie, Rosie!!

I considered baking each recipe in Rose's Heavenly Cakes, from start to finish, until I read the weighing eggs part. I'm not a lazy baker, I enjoy baking. I suspect I will be making a wedding cake eventually. I love this book, despite the weighing eggs and superfine sugar, and I love that part also. There are over 300 recipes included, each carefully and mathematically written down to weighing the eggs. I appreciate Rose's spirit when it comes to baking. I envision her in a certain mode. It is quite possibly, one of my more pictorial cookbooks with succulent photographs, but lacking in cupcake photographs. For example, the red velvet cake is made in a heart shape cake pan. (I am the type that will own a heart shaped cake pan, it's next on my list.) The pan makes it interesting to decorate. The recipe lists 3 ounces of egg whites...Maybe Rose has the key, maybe it is weighing the eggs. And I have enough baking ocd, I see myself weighing eggs. The cakes are beautifully represented, and I like how the instructions are easily read. The way to do these recipes is get the staple ingredients before even attempting the recipe, and have a decent kitchen scales. If the recipe calls for superfine sugar, be sure it's on hand. I do use cake strips, mine are by Wilton, and I'm not going the extra mile for silicone bake strips as mentioned in this book. Read and understand the recipe, get the essence of what is said, gather all needed ingredients, pans and otherwise, and then slowly jump in. For example: Chocolate Featherbed (I'm not that into chocolate, but it caught my eye.)I buy my spices from a local Penzey's. It calls for superfine sugar....I'll have it on hand before I make the cake....hmm...I will read all the ingredients on the dark chocolate, and know, I might need to run to a cake shop to buy it if it's not exact. The pan is a baking sheet type pan. In this book, each cake is art, and they take time. As you began baking you'll find yourself using certain pans repeatedly. Those are the one to buy. I doubt if I buy a wreath pan. The cakes in this book might not be basic cakes, but they are the next step. The more basic cake recipes are found in the Cake Boss cookbook. As a near professional hobby baker, I am glad to own both books. This book is my challenge. I love this book, and am so glad I ordered it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1222354-roses-heavenly-cakes](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1222354-roses-heavenly-cakes) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
