This definitely needed some editing. Some grammar issues but not the worst issue. This book needs better organization. This book tries to be academic and popular and fails at both. The author states a thesis and then doesn't even touch it in the ensuing chapter. Or says she'll talk about something and then never does. Chapter titles and chapter subjects don't really match up. And lots of tangents into unrelated topics especially things that weren't cake. German nouns are capitalized, not lowercase (I minored in German in college so this really irked me.) The author should have done better research into American foods, geography and history.

I would have found it useful if illustrations/photos had been included for some of the cakes so I could see what they really looked like. Otherwise, a good start and very general overview of cake. And I mean very general.
