Summary: Disappointed but maybe I am wrong
Review: I think that people who buy this book should know that many of the recipes require the use of a cake mix. It may be that when I actually make the cakes, I will regret what I write now, but until then I am feeling a little short changed. Surely Mrs. Pregnall does not use commercial cake mix in her own shop.

Summary: Best cakes our family ever ate.
Review: My best friend and I were in Charleston and saw this book at Hoppin John's (another great cook). She is from Chicago and told me that she had baked every cake in this book. The Milk Chocolate cake tastes just like a candy bar and the best part of all the recipes are very down-to-earth, just like grandma's instructions. The authors remarks about each recipe and her love of baking makes it a great addition to your collection. I am planning on giving several as gifts this Xmas.

Summary: This isn't a Treasure its a GOLD MINE!
Review: The recipes in the book are super easy to make,and they taste like you have slaved over them all day long when in fact you really haven't. It's not just cake recipes (my fav. being the Choc. Chip Cake) but I shall always use Teresa's Brownie recipe for the rest of my life. There are Pound Cake recipes,Coffee Cake recipes,Snacks and Picnic Treats recipes, and many more treasures. Teresa, YOU are the real Treasure. Thanks

Summary: A delicious way to cook a cake and share a story!
Review: This book is wonderful!! A friend showed me the book and I have ordered several copies since then. It makes great wedding presents, shower gifts and all occasion gift. I have met the "cake lady" and she is as funny as her book! I can't wait until her next book arrives. The cakes are simple to make and she shares entertaining hints with each cake. It is a wonderful read and cookbook!!

Review: When this book arrived, I had trouble putting it down. It's such fun to read. I bake often, & my friends really enjoy my cakes. (I'm not a baking novice.) I tried 3 recipes from this book. Two were flops, & one was mediocre. The chocolate chip cake, & Charlston chews were gooey in the middle long after the suggested bake time. The buttermilk coffee cake was nothing special. I'd buy a different book.
