Good recipes, different I've seen better looking cupcakes, but this book as some new, interesting recipes that are worth trying.
Not quite what I expected The ideas in this book are really cute and seem easy enough for the average baker to achieve. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but there are tons of them, unique and they sound so tasty!
Great information I have ordered several cupcake related books and this is second to the best. Great layout, good information, products used in recipes are readily available and easy to use while cooking. The pictures are great and opened my "idea box in my head" to even further inventive ways to decorate. Really good choice if you are into cupcaking.....
CUPCAKES!!! This book is the best book I have ever owned I tried the Tres leches cupcake a week ago and it was delicious.....My co-worker said it was the best cupcake she had ever had.
Crazy about this book As a collector of baking cookbooks, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the recipes in this book are. The illustrations are many and somewhat correspond with the pages of the actual recipe which I found refreshing after many books that have the recipe on page 4 and the picture of the recipe on page 72. Highly recommended for the aspiring baker and the beginner.
