    I'll probably never get around to actually using any of these recipes, but they're nice to aspire to. Great photos (though sparse), and the instructions seem to be clear.

    Sky High is the only cookbook you need to bake show stopping layer cakes. Before I got this book, I thought of myself as a fairly accomplished baker, but one that was slightly intimidated by the idea of a layer cake. All that sizing up recipes and icing seemed a little too hard for me--plus I was scared that after all that work the cake would ultimately just collapse on me. But after I baked a trial recipe out of Sky High that I found on a blog, I knew I had to have this book and that it would lead me into a land of layer cake wonder! The recipes in Sky High are laid out simply--so that every baker from the beginner to the semi-pro can understand them. Most of the recipes minimize fuss and use as few bowls and tools as possible. When the book introduces a new concept or ingredient, little sidebars are used to explain what the item is. In addition to the recipes, which are broken down into convenient categories like vanilla cakes, chocolate cakes, fruit cakes, etc, and the beautiful pictures, there are helpful introductory sections at the front of the book that introduce the reader to the basics of layer cake making, complete with helpful pointers like how to butter pans for different types of cakes. The layout and methods explained in this book make every type of layer cake baking from the simplest yellow birthday cake to an elaborate wedding cake (yes this book has several recipes for them!) seem like a snap. And the results! The cakes this book produces are wonderful. So far I've made a good variety--Boston Cream Pie, Strawberry Butter Cake, Vanilla Buttermilk, Chocolate Peanut Butter with Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache, as well as several of the icings and all have been delicious and show stopping. People literally gasp when I unveil one of these cakes because they can't believe that I made it by myself, at home, and that I'm not a professional. So if you're looking for a book to help you make great layer cakes that look and taste fantastic without needing to go to pastry school first, this is the book for you. Seriously, this book is worth it!
