I live in high altitude (6,000 ft). Would I need to add additional flour and decrease the sugar in the cakes or cookie cakes?
Possibly. I’m not really familiar with altitude baking. I’m sorry! But this is a guide that I hear can be very helpful. https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/high-altitude-baking-guide/
Hi I am from South Africa and I just cannot bake a cake it’s always a flop. I tried your vanilla cupcakes and got so many compliments. Thank you for your easy and delicious recipes.
So glad you enjoy them!
I keep clicking on “Get the Book” but nothing comes up where I can actually order the “Homemade Cakes” book. I am very frustrated. I have been copying and pasting some of your recipes but really want the book. Thank you.
You can find the book on Amazon. 🙂
I really appreciate and love your recipes there the best
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them!
Any chance your book can be purchased in hardback?
It wasn’t printed in hardback, sorry!
I love you’re recipes so much.
Hi Lindsay, I have made your banana cream pie many times and in my opinion, it’s the very best tasting I’ve ever made! It makes the perfect amount for a deep dish pie. So many other recipes make way less filling and I have to make more to fill up my plate! This is perfect. Besides making my own crust, Pillsbury makes a delicious easy crust that I’ve also used for years and is perfect with this pie. I’m shocked at some other posters that had trouble with any part of this recipe. Mine have consistently turned out beautiful and delicious and I followed your recipe exactly as it is written. Thank you so much… definitely a keeper!
I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it!
I love your recipes and your website
So far, I have saved a lot of your recipes, including the step-by-step cheesecake recipe (the one with the water bath instructions)! I am a baker and decorator of cakes, somewhat past beginner level of decorating (because I need to schedule time for practice regularly), and always looking for great recipes for moist, not dry, and definitely not dense, cakes. Thank you for sharing, I will be getting your book! Count on it!
I love your cakes
