Great designs and ideas!

I really enjoyed looking over this book. I bought this book specifically for the designs because all the cupcake books in stores only talk about recipes so I was pleased to find a book that talked mainly about how to design.


Really good, I think

Honestly, this is my first cupcake-book, but I have seen (and I own) a lot of cookbook and this one is really cute: beautiful pictures and a lot of ideas about decorating your cupcakes.
Yes, there are just 2 recipes, but the authors suggest you changes and because I was searching for a decoration book, I'm fully satisfied!
I've found some really nice ideas I certainly will try at my next dinner with friends!!

A Cupcake Decorating Book, not really a Recipe Book

I am in total agreement with Candi, in that I purchased this book hoping for various recipes but instead got primarily decorating ideas. Along with the handful of cupcake recipes, there are some frosting/icing/fondant recipes. However, the bulk of the book is on decorating. Many of them are both appealing and easy enough to try at home. I would have appreciated a bit more organization, the themes for the cupcakes jumped around ... Christmas, wedding, Easter. Holidays (in order by the calendar) and Other Events might have better been done separately. But for about $10, the ideas (each including pictures, most also showing variations) were worth it to me.
