Summary: Few things are as satisfying as a sweet snack that's mouthwateringly moist. So skip the cookie jar and head for the cake keeper.

Made from only the most wholesome ingredients, Lauren's heavenly creations include Espresso-Hazelnut Bundt Cake, Banana and Bittersweet Chocolate Cake, Citrus Pound Cake, Raspberry Yellow Cake Squares, and Mississippi Mud Cake. Designed with the busy baker in mind, this intoxicating cookbook shows how to make long-lasting cakes like mom used to, in a lot less time. (Taken from Goodreads)





Review: Who doesn't  love cake? Well actually, there's probably quite a few people who don't love cake.  But this book is for those people (like myself) who do love cake and you like to bake but either have very little time or you're not so flash in the kitchen.





The recipes in this book are designed to be quick and easy so that anyone can use them and anyone can make them.  I found the instructions quite easy and straight-forward to follow.  All of the ingredients are fairly obtainable too so there won't be any surprise exotic ingredients nobody has ever heard of before.





The pictures in this book are amazing.  I was watering at the mouth as I read through all the recipes and then the pictures of some of them looked so nice. I assure you, you will not flick through this book without wanting to make at least one of the cakes.  I would have liked to see a picture of the Zebra cake but I'll have to make it myself to see how it looks.





A lot of recipes seemed to be very interesting, the cakes were quite different to the normal array of cakes.  Some of the more interesting ones being coca-cola chocolate cake and a zebra cake.  There were of course a selection of more normal cakes too so really there was something to please everyone.





If you're into baking and love cakes then definitely check out Cake Keeper Cakes it is worth a read or even a flick through.

My Point ... And I do have one by Ellen DeGeneres

Title: My Point ... And I Do Have One
Author: Ellen DeGeneres
Published: Bantam, 1996
Pages: 211
Snippet: "I bet nobody knows I'm crazy."
Summary: Ellen DeGeneres shares her hilarious take on everything from our most baffling human foibles–including how we behave in elevators, airplanes, and restrooms, and why we’re so scared of the boogeyman–to fashion trends, celebrity, and her secret recipe for Ellen’s Real Frenchy French Toast.
Review: This is Ellen's first book and I have read her second one and can say that it is definitely funny. The first one is pretty funny too. I really liked it.
I have to give a warning though, if you were looking for an honest and truthful, serious look into Ellen and her life this is not that book.
My Point ... And I Do Have One is pretty funny and I have to say that I laughed out loud quite a few times.
At times I felt the book moved a little slowly but there were other times when I found it to be quite funny and highly entertaining.
This is Ellen's first book and it is quite outdated and things are a little different now in certain things. But if you're a fan of Ellen and are looking for something light and humorous go ahead and read this book.

The Girl's Guide to Vampires by Barb Karg

Title: The Girl's Guide to Vampires
Author: Barb Karg
Published: Avon : Adams Media, 2009
Pages: 180
Snippet: "Sadly, most vampires do have an aversion to garlic, which means saying arrivederci to lasagne, pizza, spaghetti carbonara and bolognese, and any other food item containing the dreaded stinking rose. On the positive side, you'll save on Listerine."
Summary: Learn how to spot a vampire and what to do when he sets his fangs. Find out how to destroy a vampire and avoid his devastating charm. The best and worst vampire books, movies, TV shows and films.
Review: The Girls Guide to Vampires is an interesting non-fiction book. It has a lot of information about vampires. And when I say a lot I mean a lot.
Firstly, anyone reading the book will learn about the history of vampires and how they managed to become the vampires they are today. Which I really liked because I quite often reading about history and myths and legends.
Then there is the books. If you want to find a vampire book that is right for you, there are several lists of vampire books that cater to any kind of vampire fan.
There are also some really cool movie lists too. I don't know if I'd watch every single one of them but I would look at some.
The Girl's Guide to Vampires is definitely a cool book. It's really interesting and I would have to say that you shouldn't take it too seriously because it is a book just for a bit of fun. But I do say that it's worth a read if you're a fan of vampires.
I notice that there is also a Girl's Guide to Werewolves out. I may check that out in the near future.
