    Confessions of a Kaufmann addict, May 4, 2010

    I’ve long been a fan of Emma Kaufmann’s blog, Mommy has a headache ([…]) so was very much looking forward to reading her novel, Confessions of a Cake Addict. It didn’t disappoint. I loved the immediacy of the epistolatory format between the accident-prone heroine, Kate Pickles, and her sensible, grown-up sister, always ready to shower Kate with advice which proves all too easy to ignore. Kate’s relationship with her best friend and flatmate seemed very real, with occasional flashes of jealousy, envy and loneliness against a background of deep affection. The two, of course, are chalk and cheese. In many ways, Emma has followed the successful pattern of chicklit formula but has added her own characteristic dashes of quirky humour and atmosphere. I loved the sudden injection of Bollywood into the scenes in Vienna, for instance, and the faded glamour of the Austrian castle owned by our hero. The central love affair is nurtured like a delicate bloom and we are rooting for Kate at the end. A great fun read which will make you want to have your cake and eat it too.

    I avoid traditional romances like the plague, and fortunately this is definitely NOT a traditional romance! I laughed out loud in places, I could absolutely sympathize with the cake addict, and some of her encounters with men made me wonder “did someone film me?” Kaufmann has a good sense of timing and her characters are a hoot, if a tad over the top in places. I especially liked the balance created by having the sister in Australia be a typical conservative soccer-mom type. I’m looking forward to the next Kaufmann, even though I’m waaaay past the target age group….

    Not what I expected but it does have a few funny tidbits. I hope you all do not base your decision of this book on me, we all like different things and this book just wasn’t for me.
