'Cake is powerful. Cake makes people happy. Cake makes me happy. I love cake.'

Alisha Henderson, founder of Sweet Bakes, has dedicated more than a decade to gaining an understanding of what makes a good cake truly glorious, and to perfecting recipes for the ultimate joy-filled bakes.

Along the way, she's discovered there are countless reasons to love cake - from the art of creation and the act of baking for someone, to the simple pleasure of indulging in something sweet. Cake offers connection, a delicious glue that binds us together in fleeting, precious moments of happiness.

In Everybody Loves Cake, Alisha brings together her very best cake recipes, from Classics to Showstoppers. There's something for every occasion and celebration, all beautifully photographed and accompanied by Alisha's uplifting stories about the people closest to her and their favourite cakes.

Life is short - so bake, share and eat the cake!
