Customer Reviews
Same old cupcakes.
Having pre-ordered this book and then waited for MONTHS for it to be published, I was really expecting something rather special. I'm afraid I was sorely disappointed. There's nothing new or exciting about this book - and I think what's in it is covered by several other cupcake books I have.
A wonderful surprise.
In a mad cupcake book buying frenzy I bought this book and I'm thrilled that I did. It is full of wonderful pictures, detailed instructions and it was a really nice to surprise. Think that its going to be very usefull. A brilliant book if you're just starting out and want a few pointers. And if you've got a few cupcakes under your belt and just want a new book to add to the collection. Another must for everyones collections.
