LOVE IS A PINK CAKE (HB)

The best cakes are the ones we bake with love at home. Fortunately, Claire Ptak has two homes: her native Northern California and London's East End. Inspired by the best ingredients found in both places - from freshly picked berries to peach orchards - these 85 recipes for cakes, cookies, desserts and savoury bakes bring the flavours of her kitchen to yours. English classics come with a west-coast twist, giving you recipes such as Chocolate Violet Babka Buns, Tahini Halva Brownies, Raspberry Loganberry Roulade with Mascarpone and Brown Sugar Victoria Sponge.
