Mini cakes are the latest trend in France - no party, picnic or lunchbox is complete without these little sweet or savoury loaf shaped cakes. Fantastic as an aperitif made with cheese and thyme, or parmesan and nuts or delicious as a dessert made with pears and chocolate, there's something here for every occasion. Great as snacks, mini-cakes suit all times of the day. Everyone loves them, and with this book, you are guaranteed success. You will adore creating, decorating and devouring them!

    A good little recipe book with both savoury cake and sweet cake recipes,which worked out well. I baked the cakes in the KitchenCraft Chicago Metallic Professional Non-Stick 8-Cup Mini Loaf Tin, 32.5 x 23 cm (13" x 9"),also using Wilton White Baking Cases, Petite Loaf, pack of 50, all purchased from Amazon. A good combination that works well together. Would recommend.

    Bought this for the sweet recipes have tried the first savoury one, with trepidation. Blew my socks off, wonderful flavours will definitely be working my way through the book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I'd hoped for
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I had hoped that this would give more advice on mini-loaf cakes than it does; particularly varying the cooking time [downwards] for the smaller individual size.
    All the savoury ones are variants on a single base recipe [the flours employed vary]; one can use that base for other variations by using similar quantities, of the additional ingredients, to produce an e.g. pescatarian savoury based on smoked salmon and dill mustard.
    The more cake-like section is disappointing; splitting my 'ordinary' recipes into mini-loaf cases and adjusting the cooking time downwards works well enough for me.
