Summary: yum! yum!
Comment: For chocolate lovers, bakers, and people who love to eat sweets, this book is for you!! First of all, it is a beautiful book -- with a luscious photo to accompany every recipe. I particularly find the "chef's touch" to be very helpful especially for those desserts that can be made over two to three days (saves the cook from having to do everything in one day!). Having tried Desaulniers' recipes in prior books, I find them to be quite detailed (although some can be challenging). I like the very organized way the recipes are laid out together with the equipment needed. I have yet to try out a recipe of his that did not get rave reviews from my dinner guests!! My only problem with the D by C Cakes, is which recipe to start with!!! What a yummy dilemna!!

Summary: Absolutely divine!
Comment: I had seen Marcel Desaulniers on his TV show a few years ago and when I saw this book in amazon.com I knew I had to buy it. I've had a die-hard sweet tooth since I was a child, and am always on the lookout for places selling great desserts. However, since Koreans do not like their sweets too sweet, I was always wishing for some decadent, sinfully delicious desserts, especially some containing lots of CHOCOLATE.
This book is just wonderful; as many reviewers have commented, as long as you follow the recipe instructions meticulously, you can't go wrong! I have made at least ten of the recipes here, including the Heart of Darkness Cakes(which everyone here seems to adore), Chocolate Peanut S'more Cakes, Excessively Expressive Espresso Ecstasy, Chocolate Mai-Tai Cake and the Midnight Truffle Cake. I admit, the ingredients do cost a bit and preparation time is considerable, but it is definitely worth it!

Summary: Talk About "Have Your Cake!"
Comment: You won't find such creative stuff anywhere else, trust me, one who's a cookbook addict collector and searches many sources for great recipes. Marcel is truly creative and stand alone in his relentless search and publication of such collections, all geared not for restaurant or competition but for us home chefs. Ingredients, equipment and techniques are all tried and prepared with us in mind.
This volume on cakes is divided into five groupings: Baby cakes, Mom's cakes, Celebration cakes, out-of-state cakes, and sky-high cakes, with the common theme of chocolate. This guy really knows how to get to my sweet tooth, with nuts and fruit and decadent chocolate.
Try the likes of: "Chocolate Porto Enchantment Cake"; "Milk Chocolate Peach Pecan Upside Down Cake with Peach and Bourbon Ice Cream" or "Chocolate Mai Tai." Truly, there is too many good ones, but feast your tastebuds on: "Martha's Chocolate Frecles Fresh Blueberry Ice Cream Cake" "Chocolate Caraway On-The-Rock Trifles" "Chocolate Tender Passion"
As with each of his cookbook offerings, there is the super photos, Chef's Touch section with its fascinating background and prep and serving tips, and section on sources, ingredients and techniques, one especially awesome here is a Table of differing chocolate melting times using both double broiler and microwave methods.
This one does take the cake
