Buy Cakes and Slices Cook Book ("Australian Women's Weekly" Home Library) by Australian Womens Weekly (ISBN: 9780949128102) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Bought because I didn't want to lend out my original! - I bought this one to give to a friend as she was on the receiving end of one of the cakes and clamouring for the secret on how to bake it. The book is full of fantastic recipes and so far, same as with all the other ones in the AWW series, I have yet to come across one that doesn't deliver. I especially want to recommend the fruit cake recipes in this edition. There are lots of them. If you are looking to make your own celebration cake, look no further than the favourite boiled fruit cake recipe. Best wedding cake ever, was just one of the comments I have had for this cake. Although, I have to admit, I cheated a little bit and used sultanas where it says currants! I like the let's-not-waste-words words policy... it is so easy to get it wrong when the important what-to-do-next step is hidden amongst a page of trivia. The minimal instructions are easy to follow and each recipe is well illustrated. Each recipe also has information on how long the product can be stored. Recipes are obviously well tested because - they all work and more to the point, they all taste great! Review: Packed with Good Stuff - This is not like a standard cookbook, where there's so much white space to fill up volume - it's full of recipes, but neatly arranged. We tried making one of the chocolate cakes, and the results were spectacular. The only thing to watch for is the units. We reduced the sugar to about a third, as we're not that into sweet stuff, but the flavour was great

Excellent condition
I have had a copy of this cake book for many year 2 friends wanted a copy I ordered 3 one for each of them and one for myself as mine is so well worn and this book is no longer in print thought I would replace it while i had the opportunity, it's the best cake book ever. These books were advertised as good condition I would have said excellent they looked new when they arrived great to have a copy looking in such great condition. They arrived quickly too great service.

I bought this book as I was replacing a lost copy of the same book. I was not able to buy the book in Australia as it is no longer in print and the newer version of this book dosen't have all of the receipes so I was delighted to find a copy with Amazon. The book was as described, in fantastic condition especially since it was second hand. I recieved the book in a short time to Australia from Amercia. Received much earlier than quoted. The transaction was easy. I would have liked something in the book that showed me where it had actually come from since it was second hand. A name and the place that the person lives written inside the cover but thats me I am a sentimental kind and love the history behind things. Not everyone would like that as they would think that it spoils the book. I'm a very happy customer thanks :-)

I purchased this book when it first came out in Australia nearly two decades ago, and have been using it ever since, in two continents. My earliest note is from 1992 when a "Banana cake with coconut honey topping" (p. 60) turned out "very tasty". The latest is from 2011. The old book is now in tatters from use, hence I was fortunate to find a used book of the old edition. The cakes (and slices) turn out beautifully, every single time. The ingredients are available just about everywhere (including the Middle East and Western supermarkets in Africa). It is a fun book, both my sons grew up on its' offerings, and I love it.
