“Cake just makes people’s days,” Odette Williams says. The Brooklyn-based baker, writer, and apron and bakeware designer’s new cookbook, “Simple Cake,” is a collection of happy moments waiting to happen.
It’s a “choose-your-own-adventure cake book,” as Williams puts it, offering recipes for 10 base cakes and 15 toppings, the classic mainstays in her own household, that can be mixed and matched to your liking. A chart of compatible combinations, plus 30 suggestions paired with special occasions, pushes beginning bakers in the right direction.
