Cakes, tortes, gateaux .. no matter where you are in the world, regardless of the continent you find yourself on, you will find one theme that is constant to all - cakes.

It is the universal food that binds families together. It is what mother bakes while children are at school and it is the food of choice when celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. A slice of cake raises the spirits with a cup of tea or coffee, and a cake is given to loved ones to help soften the sadness of loss or injury. Cakes can be fun, cakes can be nurturing. Even a small slice can imbue in us a feeling of love and support, as if mother or grandmother were there watching over you.

This cookbook is not a compilation of elegant time-consuming cakes of the world. Rather it is an expression of what real cakes from around the world are all about. These are the cakes that your grandmother used to make. No previous baking experience required.

Superb photographs will have you dreaming of cakes with the flavours of the world. Imagine serving a Sicilian Apple Cake or a Turkish Honey Cake for afternoon tea. How about ending your Indian meal with a slice of Indian Yoghurt Cake or stunning Orange Cardamom Cakes. The Chinese Ginger Syrup Cake will become a star at any Asian meal. Or sit in front of the fire with a slice of decadent Mexican Chocolate Cake.

A selection of savoury cakes is also included to make your next buffet or picnic a sure fire success. Thumb through the superb recipes within this book and treat the children, treat your friends, treat yourself - Bake your cake and eat it too!
