 Book cover doesn't do them justice June 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The cover of this book doesn't do it justice. The cakes on the cover are cute but fairly plain. But what you find in the book is several good recipes -- and some _adorable_ little cakes, from simple and plain to quite fancy -- from little corn muffins to an iced shark cake (shaped like a shark jumping out of the water) to elegant little fondant-decorated cakes. Some of the cakes are geared toward kids, but some of them are quite elegant and appropriate for adults. I hope the publisher will add the "search inside" feature and give folks a better glimpse of what this little gem of a book contains.

i had great hopes for this book prior to getting it. I'm sad to say i am disappointed. i recommend Hello, Cupcake as a much much better alternative to this cupcake book.

I haven't made the designs yet from this book, but I have used several of the cupcake recipes. They are delicious! Those of you afraid to try scratch, need this book. They aren't much harder than a mix and come out very moist. The house buttercream is also an amazing noncrusting frosting. Very tasty and easy to smooth. Highly recommend.

I really want to give this book 4 and 1/2 stars. The technical information was comprehensive and easy to follow. I was also pleasantly surprised with the number of icing recipes provided - 3 kinds of buttercream, fudge icing, peanut butter, whipped cream and 3 kinds of glaze - as well as the fillings and cake recipes. The authors have phenomenal ideas for beautiful little cakes.
There are a few recipes that use shaped pans (ice cream cones, rose, heart) which can be costly. They do provide alternatives if the user doesn't have the pans. I do not like the book's size. It's only 8" x 9 1/2" and the print is smaller than many of my other cookbooks. However, the content is so good that I can overlook both issues.
It is a great book and I would definitely buy it again.
