Review: Not a bad collection, but not gourmet.

First off, let me say that there are some good recipes in here, so if it's free,  grab it. However, I would NOT pay for this boo for the following three reasons.1. The main one are two advertisements for a weight, website in the middle of a cookbook, and a third advertisement for the same website. I can see advertising your other books, but a weigh loss ad in a dessert cookbook??? Makes no real sense, and is a poor attempt at bait and switch advertising. Sorry, if I pay for an ebook, the last thing I want are links to an unrelated websites in it.2. There are a some recipes that call for cake mixes. Usually, this doesn't bother me. Hey, the Cake Doctor has made a career out of adapting recipes. However, a few of these are recipes where you bake the cake according to package directions. The remaining ingredients are for the topping. Why not just add a chapter of frosting and toppings? The cherry cake recipe is nothing more than a chocolate cake mix, with cherry pie filling spooned on top before baking and frosted with canned vanilla frosting.3. The last thing is there are some duplicate type recipes. There are two recipes for red velvet cupcakes. There is one recipe for cupcake brownies, another for brownie cupcakes, and of course, there is a basic chocolate cupcake.  The ingredients are only slightly different, but the result is still just a chocolate cupcake.
