There are hundreds of detailed, easy-to-follow recipes for cakes large and small, biscuits, cookies, children's novelty cakes, continental gâteaux and pastries, scones, teabreads, yeast breads and buns, and celebration cakes of all kinds, including ten iced and decorated wedding cakes. The splendid colour pictures and nearly 300 black and white photographs make it even easier to follow the recipes—all tested, of course, in Good Housekeeping Institute's own kitchens.
