Easy Cake Recipes


Here are some wonderful and easy cake recipes.

The first step to learning how to cake decorate is baking your cake so here you will find some tried and tested  recipes to get you on the right track.

Remember, when making a cake from scratch it is important to follow the directions as they are listed.

I recommend always using real butter in homemade cakes. You will be able to tell a difference in the taste and texture.

Follow your recipe exactly, test for doneness with a cake tester or toothpick and allow to cool for 30 minutes-one hour before taking out of the pan and cooling on a rack for several hours or overnight.


If you run into any problems during baking, read the baking tips and baking cakes sections.

You can also share your favorite recipes for others to try.
