It even features Mary’s foolproof cakes for every occasion, including everyday delights like Honey and Almond Cake and showstoppers like Mary’s First-Rate Chocolate Cake.
What’s more? “Fast Cakes” is also a treasure trove of recipes designed for baking with children – from cheerful Happy Face Biscuits to playful Traffic Lights and Jammy Buns.
