There's nothing like home baking but sometimes we yearn for the simplicity of being able to rustle up something delicious for dessert or a party treat quickly without the need to heat the oven. This is the art of the 'no-bake cake'! The recipes in this book do not require an oven and are made simply by heating a few ingredients in a pan or perhaps in the microwave - and some of them, such as the ice-cream cakes, do not require any cooking at all! The best thing is that they can all be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container, in the fridge or in the freezer so you can serve up something delectable just when it's needed.

• This cookbook with a difference presents all kinds of

irresistible desserts, cakes and bars – none of which need

an oven.

• There are crispy and crunchy treats and tiffin slices for

teatime, layer traybakes and fun cakes for bake-sales,

easy fridge rolls and gateaux for last-minute supper

guests, cheesecakes, ice cream cakes, and showstopper

concotions for special occasions.

• Gorgeous photographs by Steve Painter show the stepby-

step method and the inspirational finished dishes.
