Cake Angels by Julia Thomas

This is a review I will probably update once I've had a go at the few of the recipes, but on looks alone Thomas' book is a winner. It's a nice size at about nine inches high and stays open easily, a small thing but essential for a cookbook!

Most of the recipes are well illustrated in full colour divided into cakes, traybakes and cupcakes / muffins. There are sections on equipment, ingredients, decoration and stockists which give really helpful pointers as to what to use as alternatives to gluten and dairy and where to find them. The recipes themselves are well laid out and the text is friendly and easy to use. A delightful addition for a person who still stands longingly near bakeries to torture myself with the smell of what I cannot have.
