200 mini cakes and bakes by Hamlyn

September 16, 2011 by Sarah Trivuncic

At under £4 on Amazon, Hamlyn’s 200 Mini Cakes and Bakes is incredibly good value. Full of cute baking ideas, it’s the kind of book you’d pop in your basket as an impulse buy or give as a gift. It may not be as sophisticated as the latest celebrity offering but there’s a definite place on my shelf for a little book like this.

Watch my video review above to see what I thought.

Published by Hamlyn, £4.99 paperback. With thanks for the review copy.

    Loving these video interviews Sarah and I agree there is always room for a cheap, cheerful and handy cookbook on my shelves as well.

    200 recipes for £4.99 is a mere 2.5p per recipe Sarah!

    Bargainous in the extreme!

    I love Helen’s breakdown of recipe cost! The great thing about these little books is they often so much inspiration for variations on classic recipes. My wish list on Amazon just got a little bigger…
