Fantastic recipes and ideas
I bought this book to jazz up my own cupcake recipe. Its great! The recipes are easy to follow, and turn out as described. The creamy coconut recipe is to die for!! I used some of the recipes to bake for a ladies pamper evening at school and they went down a treat, with everyone saying how delicious they were and what a genius I was. I couldnt deny it of course..... If you like baking little cakes, and want something not too taxing, but impressive to eat and look at, then this is for you.

A Little Gem
I bought this book partly because of the glowing reviews here and they are not wrong, this book is gorgeous. Neatly sized, so it won't get in the way while you are baking but packed with inspiring recipes that are just as much fun to browse with a cup of tea as they are to bake.
The photography is bold but simple and the cakes themselves are prettily decorated rather than intimidating works of art.
With recipes such as gooey chocolate and hazlenut,coconut and lime, blueberry and lemon and banoffee as well as the usual vanilla and lemon - there is plenty to choose from.The only difficulty is deciding which one to do first.

Not what I hope
I recently have a great interest on cakes and cupcakes decorating and have been looking for a great cupcakes decorating books so far but haven't found any yet. Then I found a few cupcakes books on amazon but I noticed that this book has 5 stars rating, so I thought this book might what I have been looking for and decided to buy it. Unfortunatelly, this book is just not for me as it is more about the cupcakes recipes instead of the decorating. I am wondering if anyone can recommend me to a great book of cupcakes decorating. Thanks
