Summary
Best-selling author and talented cook Robert Blakeslee has done it again. In Your Time to Cook , Robert crafted a true first cookbook that teaches kitchen basics and cooking fundamentals. Now, with Your Time to Bake , he has taken the same comprehensive approach to turn non-bakers into successful creators of cakes, cookies, pies, and other delectable baked goods.

A chapter devoted entirely to decorating techniques guides you in putting the icing on the cake-as well as the frosting, edible fondant flowers, and much, much more. Here is the perfect blend of instruction, advice, and humor to make the art of baking both easy and enjoyable.
