    There’s something sad about leftover cake.

    Ask most any home cook, and you’ll find they’re more of a pie or cookie baker than a cake baker. There’s a problem with baking a cake: unless you’re taking it to a potluck party or holiday gathering, there’s just too much of it. Enter Little Cakes: 50+ Perfectly Proportioned Confections to Enjoy Any Day of the Week. Author Candace Floyd has taken the guesswork out of scaling down classic and original recipes and included them among the five-dozen delicious, easy-to-make treats that can be enjoyed any day of the week.  These little cakes are perfectly sized confections serving four to eight and pack no less of a delightful wallop. With just enough to polish off in one sitting so the leftovers don’t linger, these little cakes are mini versions of American favorites like Peach Upside Down Cake, Yellow Butter Cake, Hummingbird Cake, and Gingerbread Cake.

    Also included are original recipes that sure to be added to the family’s hit list, like the One-Egg Dinner Cake, Jam Cake, and Fresh Apple Cake. With mouthwatering photos of each cake to inspire you, easy-to-follow recipes to guide you, and lovely icings and toppings to add flavorful flair, Little Everyday Cakes will be the baking cookbook you’ll pull from the shelf again and again—because every day deserves a little treat.

"Deliberately small in size, these baby-cakes are large in charm, delectability, and variety. It'd be hard to find one you wouldn't want to make! From streamlined, simplified serve-in-the pan snack cakes to fanciful, indulgent mini (and many) layered affairs, Floyd's cake-baking directions are precise, detailed, and eminently easy to follow. Experienced bakers and neophytes alike will find big inspiration for little everyday cakes." --cookbook author Crescent Dragonwagon
"LOVED this book! From scratch baking that’s perfectly sized for smaller households, Candace's easy to follow recipes put cake baking back on the schedule every day of the week. Each chapter delivers a treasure-trove of intriguing flavor combinations along with time honored classics that will suit every palate. The gingerbread and two-layer spice cake are sure to be instant favorites in your home - they are in mine!" --Abigail Johnson Dodge, award-winning author, baker, and instructor
" Little Everyday Cakes lives up to its name, making it possible for my cozy family of three to enjoy a sweet treat after dinner without a week's worth of leftovers." --Jennifer Perillo, chef, cookbook author & creator of InJennie’sKitchen.com
Included in Parade's  10 of the Best Cookbooks to Give (and Get!) "For those who can't give up dessert...Little Everyday Cakes is just the thing for those with a sweet tooth who still want some portion control. Most of these one-layer or small stacked cakes by author Candace Floyd make 8 to 9 servings, so you won’t be tempted by leftovers. They range from fruit-filled creations like Fig and Orange Cake to the pucker-inducing Lime Cake and chocoholic’s dream, Siren’s Chocolate Cake." --Parade Magazine
