Product Description
by Tat Effby (Author)
What do you want to bake? How long have you got?
On a mission to make baking FUN as well as DELICIOUS, The Caketoonist has written her first cookbook to celebrate 20 classic treats in a variety of ways and featuring over 100 recipes. Using a treat's classic ingredients and flavors, each chapter features multiple recipes arranged according to the time and effort involved in producing them, so you can fit the recipe to the time you have. You can throw together a batch of cookies and still have time to file your tax return... or you can fully commit to laminated croissant dough when, happily, the bachelorette party weekend of axe-throwing and group tattoos gets canceled.It's quick bakes for a quick fix in a 15-minute lull; it's medium-length foolproof recipes for a 90-minute interlude; and it's all-day, multi-step, big WOW bakes for when you're lucky enough to take your sweet time over straining, proving, chilling or tempering.
Chapters include:
Millionaire's Shortbread
Black Forest Gateau
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Carrot Cake
Jaffa Cake
Baklava
Cinnamon Rolls
Cheesecake
Author Biography
Baking across social media and Substack as The Caketoonist, Tat Effby has built up a combined following of over 600k fans of her idiot-proof recipes and idiotic humor. Her fans include both culinary luminaries and comedy legends. As a cartoonist, Tat's work has appeared in national publications such as the Guardian, the Observer, Private Eye and the Oldie. As a baker, Tat was relentlessly rejected by The Great British Bake Off for years. So instead of the tent, she took all her pent-up cake energy to social media and started sharing her dry sense of humor and moist sense of cake. Her videos, a frothy confection of detailed instructional recipes and very stupid jokes, have been watched over 90 million times.
