WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BAKE? HOW LONG HAVE YOU GOT?

On a mission to make baking FUN as well as DELICIOUS, The Caketoonist has written her first cookbook to celebrate 20 classic treats in a variety of ways and featuring over 100 recipes. Using a treat's classic ingredients and flavours, each chapter features multiple recipes arranged according to the time and effort involved in producing them, so you can fit the recipe to the time you have. You can knock up a batch of biscuits and still have time to file your tax return... or you can fully commit to laminated croissant dough when, happily, the hen weekend of axe-throwing and group tattoos gets cancelled.

It's quick bakes for a quick fix in a 15-minute lull; it's medium-length foolproof recipes for a 90-minute interlude; and it's all-day, multi-step, big WOW bakes for when you're lucky enough to take your sweet time over straining, proving, chilling or tempering.

Chapters include:

  • Millionaire's Shortbread
  • Black Forest Gateau
  • Sticky Toffee Pudding
  • Carrot Cake
  • Jaffa Cake
  • Baklava
  • Cinnamon Rolls
  • Cheesecake

Do you like to procrasti-bake? Then you've come to the right place: enjoy the journey and Bake Your Sweet Time.

About the Author

Baking across social media and Substack as The Caketoonist, Tat Effby has built up a combined following of over 600k fans of her idiot-proof recipes and idiotic humour. Her fans include both culinary luminaries and comedy legends. As a cartoonist, Tat's work has appeared in national publications such as the Guardian, the Observer, Private Eye and the Oldie. As a baker, Tat was relentlessly rejected by The Great British Bake Off for years. So instead of the tent, she took all her pent-up cake energy to social media and started sharing her dry sense of humour and moist sense of cake. Her videos, a frothy confection of detailed instructional recipes and very stupid jokes, have been watched over 90 million times.
