Customer Reviews

Yummy...
Bought this book after reading an article on the author in a country magazine. Love the enthusiasm and fun in which she writes.
This neat, little book, is colourfully illustrated, with handy tips on getting started. It is full of inspiring cupcake and icing ideas, from the simple to something a little more fanciful. Fun to read, with a variety of yummy cake recipes to inspire and delight all.

from easy to, er, faffy
A lovely book. Great, quirky and fun writing. Even if you had never thought of making cupcakes, you cannot resist it after this. Fab icing inspiration too. Get your children hooked early with the simple ones...
