About this product
Great British Baking Show finalist Ruby Bhogal is back by popular demand to delight us with 80 delicious cake recipes from across the globe
Based on her popular online series, in Around the World in 80 Cakes, Ruby Bhogal shares the history of each bake, where it originated, its flavor profiles and what to serve it with. Whether it be a French Opera Cake, Uruguayan Chaja or Filipino Sans Rival, there will be a little something to float just about everyone’s boat.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Ruby has lived and breathed all things baking since reaching The Great British Baking Show final. Not only has she been educating her palette, but she has also been educating her repertoire too. Join her on a sugar trip around the globe, learning new methods and flavors from cultures and countries across the world. This is adventurous baking for those who love making and eating cake.
Ruby Bhogal reached the final of the Great British Baking Show in 2018, and has spent the years since honing her craft for baking on Instagram (600k followers @rubybhogal), determined to help home-bakers achieve success. Her social media series of the same name, which follows her baking sweet treats from countries all around the world, has been met with huge success. Halfway through her quest, she had already amassed over 67 million views across both Instagram and Tiktok, with recipes being saved over 715,000 times and a combined reach of just over 37 million people. With endless comments calling for the series to be turned into a longer format and constantly being inundated with requests for the recipe collection to be turned into a book, she’s concluded that it's only fair to give the people what they want.

Editor's Take
Around the World in 80 Cakes takes bakers on a globe-spanning tour through 80 cake recipes, pairing creative flavours with cultural and historical context. Foodie Explorers describes it as an entertaining cookbook for both beginner and experienced bakers, with recipes designed to introduce surprising textures and flavour combinations.
Amazon reviewers praise the book’s variety, calling it one of the best cake books they have purchased and highlighting its cohesive collection of recipes from different regions and countries. Reviewers also compliment the beautiful presentation, full-colour photography, and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. One Amazon reviewer appreciated the detailed recipes but wished every recipe had its own photograph, although many recipes are illustrated.
Foodie Explorers highlights the cookbook’s worldwide perspective and features recipes such as Irish Chocolate Guinness Cake. Cherry Bombe notes that the book includes cakes from 80 countries and offers plant-based versions, extending Ruby Bhogal’s approach of making recipes accessible to vegan bakers. The result is a colourful, ambitious collection suited to bakers who want more than familiar classics and enjoy discovering the stories behind international desserts.
