Everyone has a favorite style of cake, whether it’s citrusy and fresh or chocolatey and indulgent. All of these recipes and more are within your reach in Simple Cake, a love letter from Brooklyn apron and bakeware designer Odette Williams to her favorite treat.

With easy recipes and inventive decorating ideas, Williams gives you recipes for 10 base cakes, 15 toppings, and endless decorating ideas to yield a treat—such as Milk & Honey Cake, Coconut Cake, Summer Berry Pavlova, and Chocolatey Chocolate Cake—for any occasion.

Williams also addresses the fundamentals for getting cakes just right, with foolproof recipes that can be cranked out whenever the urge strikes. Gorgeous photography, along with Williams’s warm and heartfelt writing, elevate this book into something truly special.

“The premise of Simple Cake is a lovely one: It aims to make baking a cake the kind of thing you do to celebrate life’s little moments as well as the big ones, from a lost tooth to a milestone birthday. . . . This book is perfect for newlyweds, a new parent or anyone looking to make new traditions.”—The New York Times

The recipes are unfussy and joyful; they are the perfect excuse to share with the ones you love. You will make these cakes part of your baking legacy.”—Aran Goyoaga, author of Small Plates & Sweet Treats and creator of Cannelle et Vanille

“Simple Cake is such a sweet book full of incredible photography, delightfully simple recipes, and so, so much love. It’s as deeply personal as it is useful and I can’t wait to bake from it.”—Alison Roman, author of Dining In and Nothing Fancy

“Wonderfully uncomplicated . . . Thoughtful and inspiring, this fresh take on cakes should find an enthusiastic audience.”—Publishers Weekly
