Love how the smooth white frosting contrasts so starkly with the bright sprinkles! and just so you know you're not alone in the disappearing sprinkles! I spent a whole summer when I worked at the English Cheesecake Company trying to devise a 'birthday cake cheesecake' with a layer of funfetti sprinkle cake sandwiched in between two cheesecake layers. I made the cake 9 times with 9 different sprinkle samples that companies from all over the UK had sent me and all of them disappeared! Eventually I had to order some American sprinkles off ebay and it worked and the sprinkles bled their colour into the cake! Apparently their sprinkles have too many artificial colourings to be legally sold here in the UK! How crazy!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I ...Hi littleloaf,<br /><br />To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't have either of the two earlier books she refers to (1977's Book of Cakes and 2005's Baking Collection)so I can't compare. But, she does refer to someof the recipes re-appearing in this book. Whether that's alongside new ones, too, I don't know. <br /><br />I must say that it is a lovely book though, with a great 'feel' to it. The only thing that grated slightly with me is the commercialisation that seems to come with all Delia's things these days - for example she now has a range of cake tins produced in conjunction with Silverwood that she reccomends in the book (and matching cake liners!). She makes clear that, of course, you don't need to use them, but it just feels a bit cynical to me. <br /><br />Anyway, I think it's on offer in so many places now - I picked up mine in a supermarket for about £8 - it might be worth having a nose at it. <br /><br />:) Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-91064483762578344062013-03-16T10:27:56.250+00:002013-03-16T10:27:56.250+00:00Thanks Claire - very kind! :) Thanks Claire - very kind! :) Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-36941829227066844102013-03-15T13:49:29.533+00:002013-03-15T13:49:29.533+00:00Pretty!
