Enlightened Cakes: More Than 100 Decadently Light Layer Cakes, Bundt Cakes, Cupcakes, Cheesecakes, and More, All with Less Fat and Fewer Calories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful addition to any dessert lover's library, as well as for anyone looking to bake beautiful and delicious cakes that have all the flavor but not 1000 calories per slice. The pictures, though small, are gorgeous, and made me want to jump right in. There is so much variety in this book, the recipes are very detailed and easy to follow, and most importantly, the four recipes I have tried since the arrival of my book came out absolutely perfectly (the plum crumble cake is going to be a new standard in our house; we have a plum tree and everyone who tried this cake was blown away. Two good friends, avid bakers themselves, were incredulous when I told them it was a "lighter" cake).
I was skeptical about the lighter cheesecakes (as a native New Yorker, I have high standards for my beloved cheesecake), so I tried both the sour cream cheesecake and the wildflower honey cheesecake. Both were gorgeous, perfect, and everything a cheesecake should be. I'm convinced.
I have watched Ms. Saulsbury win multiple major cookoffs on the Food Network over the years, and already thought she was a genius; this beautiful book is but further proof of her talent. A highly recommended book--Brava!
