The best cupcake decorating book that I've found May 5, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the most fun, creative, and charming cupcake decorating book that I have come across. The designs are phenomenal, and the authors show you how to create each design, step-by-step. They have a supply list for each type of cupcake (so you don't go into the grocery store trying to figure out what you need, without much guidance), and there are a few basic techniques that they repeat, but to create different effects. So, for example, you might use a cookie for a panda head, but you will use it to make beagle ears.
This is primarily a design book, NOT a cookbook, although the authors provide a few recipes in the back for a basic cupcake and frostings. Even with the fantastic pictures (the book is loaded with them) and the wonderful instruction, making cupcakes like this takes a lot of time and love. There's no way around that, so please don't fault the book if you find that the learning curve is steep, or that it's taking you hours to decorate the 40 cupcakes that you promised to bake for your child's first grade class!
super cute ideas for cupcakes May 2, 2008
I own a lot of cookbooks. This is probably the cutest baking book I have bought. The pictures are great and the directions are straight forward. I have yet to try any of the recipies so, i can't speak for taste of things, but the book itself is wonderful.

This is a very fun book. I thought that some of the ideas would be great for a kids birthday party and can not wait to do the doggy cakes. Great pictures and I felt that the recipes didn't call for too off the wall thiings.

What a wonderful book! It has plenty of fabulous, large photos, and easy to follow directions, making these cupcakes very approachable. They provide all the information you'll need -- from tips to resources -- to recreate all these cupcakes. There is a cupcake design for every skill level. Before long you'll be coming up with your own ideas. This book would make a great gift for anyone who needs a creative outlet. And, the "Hello, Cupcake!" web site is as fun as the book -- visit www.hellocupcakebook.com and see more tips, designs and reader comments.
Some great new ideas in this book! April 29, 2008

I have not read this book cover to cover yet, but already I am loving it. There are some great new ideas on these pages for dazzling up your cupcakes. I have no doubt that any parent could quickly rise to "cool mom" or "cool dad" status if you made one of these treats and sent it with junior to school for his birthday treat. What I liked best about this book is that the ideas are simple to replicate using frosting (canned) and a variety of candies and goodies that should be pretty easy to find at most stores.
And not only do I love the book already, my kids are digging it too. It's amazing the amount of time small children will happily view dessert cookbooks.
