 Cupcake Craze January 24, 2007
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book has many wonderful recipes and many decorating ideas. This book demonstrates Krystina Castella's creativity in the cupcake genre.
I guess my only concern is that the recipes don't give an indication as to how many cupcakes it makes or how many cups of frosting are made per recipe. I guess one can make an approximation by looking at the ingredients, but it would be easier if that amount was indicated by the author.
So far so good. January 18, 2007

This book delivers more than just a pretty cover. Recipes are good and relatively easy to follow. Many options hard to decide where to start.
 Crazy for this book! October 25, 2006

This is the only review I'll ever write on Amazon. I felt it was my duty to let everyone know about this fabulous book. If you have any interest in cakes, cupcakes, decorations or baking... you MUST buy this book. I own *many* books on cakes; from recipes to decorations. All with exactly the same information. This book has MORE information about baking and DIFFERENT information about decorating. I've already made marzipan fruit, candied citrus peels, cupcakes, petit fours, cream filled cupcakes and many different types of icing, frostings and sugar pastes. And this is only from reading the first 1/2 of the book. I can't wait to find out what the 2nd 1/2 of the book contains."

I tried my first recipe from the book (Caramel Apple Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting) and it was a hit with my co-workers! I love that the recipes are easy to follow and the author gives a list of combinations for the cupcakes and frostings. I can't wait to try more recipes from the book. It's a very comprehensive cupcake book for the casual or serious baker!
Finally!!! September 14, 2006

If your a crazed cake decorator like myself, you are always looking for different recipes, decorating and presentation ideas...finally a "different" cookbook has arrived.
There are many different recipes inside this large book for the cake and frostings themselves...but the ideas for decorating and presentation are DIFFERENT and some cool displays are presented as well. There are even fancy designs for elegant cupcakes (a tiramusi cupcake!) - petit four type ideas...this alone is worth the price of the book and I'd pay twice the price of this book for that.
Some of the reviews on amazon can go on and on and on - and you fall asleep before you can finish reading them...I don't have time for that -- I don't have time to be doing this review - BUT one thing for sure - if I take the time to give a review on a book it is special and a must have.
BUY THIS BOOK!!!
