I have that book! I bought the first edition when Time magazine wrote up a glowing review of it. :-) I love her intro especially. And there's one cake with a spun-sugar cage that started my obsession with candied violets.

Isn't it a wonderful book? I know exactly the cake you're talking about. Now I'll have to try the candied violets! Hopefully the poor little things will still come up after our horrid winter...

YAY! Glad to see you're excited and posting again when you can with something pretty neat here. I too occasionally now delve into cake making and so far have done the vanilla cake (Standard) but also the Marble Cake which you might want to try as it's a bit more difficult than it looks (least I found so). Good luck and as Hunni from the anime Ouran High School Host Club would say:

"CAKEY! CAKEY! CAKEY!"
