Descriptions of all the cake recipes

The best moist BANANA CAKErecipes including a tropical version with pineapple and my favorite, the super simple butter cake with whipped cream and sliced bananas.

The very bestrecipe for CARROT CAKE. Even people who think they do not like carrot cake rave about this one. It's amazing how incredibly yummy and delicious this recipe is.

Among the best wedding cake recipes are my favorite CHEESECAKES. These are great for pastry tables as an extra dessert or for any occasion. Creamy New York Style with a graham cracker crumb crust, a sinfully richchocolate one with a chocolaty crunchy crust and Juniors recipe.

Yes many brides and grooms are choosing CHOCOLATE for their special day. The guests love it! Aseriously awesomechocolate buttermilk recipe (simply the best and the easiest) Also included is a triple chocolate combination a chocolate stout and a dreamy chocolate orange combo. ENJOY!

COCONUT CAKE is a taste of heaven. Combine it with pineapple or lemon filling and lots of coconut cream cheese icing for an incredible experience that you will not forget. This is a great addition to the wedding cake recipes.

A new favorite is the CONFETTI CAKE. Loaded with crunchy colorful sprinkles it's perfect for any celebration. This cake goes well with just about any delicious filling.

An English favorite! The rich FRUIT CAKE is a hardy one made with oodles of fruits and nuts along with a good soaking of Rum, Brandy or Orange juice if you prefer. The bejeweled tortes are then left to age and await their final coat of Royal Icing and Marzipan. Sweet!!! Basic fruitcakes were once the traditional brides cake in Roman times. It was crumbled over the brides head to bless her with abundance. This tradition was known as"crowning the bride".

HAZELNUT CAKE especially this chocolate version is especially wonderful for a wedding cake. I made this for a girlfriends wedding in 1986. Since then I have recreated it a few times and it's just as I remembered. Delectable.

Luscious LEMON CAKE with English lemon curd filling and a tangy lemon buttercream. If you like citrus you will want to try this combination. There is a sunny yellow ombre cake design pictured there for you too.

MADEIRA CAKE is an English recipe that is very much like a pound cake, but it does not have Madeira wine in it. It was originally meant to be enjoyed with a glass of Madeira wine. It is especiallygood for shaping and cuttingand to use with heavy icings and fondant.

Not exactly a cake these MEXICAN WEDDING CAKESare a favorite for a pastry, dessert or banquet table. Some call themsandy tartsbut they are also known asRussian tea cakesand make nice party favors. If you are planning on offering additional desserts to your guests then you should try these little confectionery gems.

My BEST ORANGE CAKE recipe is quite often ordered by the bride and groom after a taste test. Combined with fresh or individually frozen fruit and white chocolate filling, it is amazing and somoist and delicious!

This nutty and butter infused PECAN CAKE is amazing. If you like nuts this one is for you. Makes a great cake for any occasion.

The CHOCOLATE BOURBON cake is a wow!!! It's dense, moist and perfect coated with chocolate ganache.

Thesymbol of purityand the most traditional, the majority of wedding creations still tend to be WHITE CAKES and the grooms cakes chocolate. The best collection of wedding cake recipes starts with a classic white cake recipe. This one is made using whipped egg whites for a lighter batter. NOTE This is not a pure white cake.

The flavor of the YELLOW CAKE is a rich and it is a little bit easier to make thanwhite because you don't have to fold the delicate egg whites carefullyinto the batter. This one is not as light as the white one but easier to prepare.
