Bake from Scratch Magazine Cakes 2019 Special Issue

Endlessly customizable and always impressive, a thickly frosted, tender-crumbed cake is the ultimate baked confection. The charm lies in its versatility. Nearly all occasions call for or would be improved with a little cake. It can be the elegant finale to a dinner party or the joyous centerpiece of a birthday celebration. We have the cakes for those special occasions and more. Our layer cakes come as two-, three-, and four-tiered extravaganzas, with ice cream fillings and rich buttercream coats.

Find loaf cakes and skillet cakes perfect for sharing, whether it’s a jammy stone fruit skillet stunner or a bright, creamy strawberry and buttermilk loaf cake. With these recipes added to your collection, we promise satisfaction by the slice.
