This title includes: recipes, techniques and decorations from the
golden age of cake-making. It is a classic Victorian book by T.
Percy Lewis and A.G. Bromley, brought to the modern reader with a
foreword by Nicholas Lodge. Hand-tinted illustration plates of the
finished cakes appear throughout the book, as well as close-ups of
piping details. Notes for the modern reader have been included to
assist today's baker in adjusting and adapting recipes, with tips
on unusual equipment and archaic ingredients. It includes
everything from making wedding cakes, gateaux and tartlets to
piping lettering and making marzipan flowers. This nostalgic book
will enchant all cake-makers, providing a fascinating source of
baking and decorating ideas, as well as an insight into forgotten
techniques. This book is a treasure from a golden age. Originally
published at the turn of the century, during the heyday of
cake-making, it was intended to become the standard work on cakes
and confectionery, for use by both amateurs and professionals.
There are recipes for all kinds of traditional Victorian cakes,
biscuits and cookies, petits fours, shortbreads, pound and slab
cakes, gingerbreads, marzipan and nougat, as well as a multitude of
fillings, icings and frostings. The illustrations in the book are
remarkable examples of the photographic techniques of the time; the
original publishers claimed that the high-quality image work was
unique, with 'every illustration reproduced from the actual cake'.
The detail of the original volume has been preserved, resulting in
a book to delight the eye and inspire the modern baker.
