Ask questions about the bake, share your tips with others and post your photos in our Bakeable Facebook group and on your own social media with the hashtag #bakeable. We want to highlight your successes, so we’ll be sharing your photos and stories. Take pics as you bake and be sure to show us your finished product!

This month, we’re challenging you to bake something special for the ones you love. This red velvet cake is a classic recipe everyone should have in their collection—and it’s a perfect treat for all your Valentines.

Read the Best Baking Novel of the Year

If you love baking and reading—and reading about baking—join our friends in the Reader’s Digest Book Club. The February book pick is Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford, a charming coming-of-older-age tale and moving story of redemption that proves age is nothing but a number. You’ll cheer for 77-year-old Jenny, who’s stepping out of her comfort zone and onto the set of the reality show Britain Bakes for a chance to be crowned the country’s best amateur baker. Whether you’re a longtime baker or fan of The Great British Baking Show (or simply have a sweet tooth!), you’ll devour this big-hearted novel.

Members can discuss the book with fellow readers on Feb. 23 and watch a Q&A with the author on Feb. 28! It all happens in the book club Facebook group.

Baking Guides

You’ve probably heard that baking is a science, but that doesn’t mean that recipes have to read like your AP Chemistry textbook. We’ve compiled all the tips and tricks we’ve learned to make each type of bake flawless in our guides below.
