Sarah Escalera in Virginia says, "I like making cakes for my kids birthdays, and they like getting to pick out their cake each year. The cake book that I've been using was given to me by my mom. And as you can imagine after making it through the birthdays of 7 kids it was -- well, falling apart!
The entire binding was history and only the pages were left. I was lamenting over the poor cake book and would you know, they have a new addition of Baker's Easy Cut-up Cakes!! And my wonderful husband found the new book on Paperback Swap! I was so excited!! It's always fun to see what our kids pick AND to see how they turn out, which can be rather hilarious given my lack of artistic skill."
Thanks, Sarah, for allowing me to share your great information! I am so glad to see these books are still available, and that Sarah provided the links to get them, because I've got two "falling-apart" books of Baker's Easy Cut-up Cakes" of my own from our family's birthdays, and loved making those for our kids as well. My husband liked the sailboat cake too.
One year I remember making an airplane from one of the books. It had so many pieces and by the time I had finished, it looked like it was in a plane crash, but all the little boys at my son's party absolutely loved it!

Of course, there are much easier cakes that we've made before - the butterfly, heart, daisy, flower cart, elephant, Raddedy Ann and Andy, baseball glove, football, Snoopy, lop-eared rabbit (using the Snoopy directions, with a few changes), fish, rocket, train, race car, and I'm sure there were others. We also made a three foot crocodile with candy corn teeth, using directions in a magazine.
Oh, and just because these books are from Baker's coconut, doesn't mean you have to put coconut on the cakes.
My daughter reminded me that directions are also on the Internet.
