 Irresistable Playful Creations I can Make! This book is so enjoyable to simply browse thru. Simply Adorable!!! Each recipe has precise instructions with beautiful photographs to guide a home baker to produce brilliant results. It is jammed packed with delightful & original & very creative ideas that will appeal to all ages. I plan on gifting this to many family members & friends. I know they'll love it too. Do I Really Need Another Cupcake Book? Yes!! When I saw this book featured on the Martha Stewart show, I thought, "Do I really need another baking book? I have so many..." I decided to get it anyway, thinking I could always pass it along to someone else if I was not fond of it. Well, I am SO GLAD I made this purchase! The book is beautiful- and I really mean that- the book itself is beautiful, large in size, softcover, with huge color photos and great instructional pages. The recipes are really not that complex (they vary from very detailed to very simple, even though they look challenging at first glance). The author teaches you how to make a variety of adorable cupcakes, and they don't all have to be used for kid parties - there are some showstoppers in there for weddings, party favors, barbeques, holidays, and more. My favorites are the garden patch, the "April Fool's" cupcakes, the alligator, and the pandas. The book is not full of cupcake recipes - it is more of a cupcake design book, as it shows you how to create these fabulous cakes. At the end of the book there is an actual baking recipe section, and I LOVE how the author has two kinds of recipes- simple, quick cupcakes you can make with boxed mixes, and then another section of "from scratch" cupcake recipes. Even if you never make a single cupcake from this book, it is STILL worth purchasing for its sheer beauty. It is fun to flip through the pages and look at the adorable creations and see how they were put together. I LOVE this book. If you are STILL saying you don't need another baking book, do what I did and throw out one old cookbook so that there is room on the shelf for this baby. LOVE IT! I just received this book (in 2 days I might add!) and I love it...however, I have not tried any recipes. The pictures are adorable and all of the instructions are VERY easy. The only teeny complaint that I have is that I wish she provided tip sizes for those of us who do have cake decorating equipment (i just dont think i could use a ziploc after years of pastry bags..there IS a difference :) thanks for a great book!!! SPECTACULAR! This is the best cupcake book out there, EVER! The pictures are fabulous. The instructions are clear and simple. Everyone must have this book, whether you think you're a baker or not. There is such a variety of creations. It turned my 5 year old son into a food stylist. | |||||||||||||
