Hello, Cupcake!: Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make

A whole lotta fun! -Cupcakes for every holiday, birthday, season and celebration you can think of -- beautifully designed, whimsical and best of all, EASY to do. Most of the cupcakes are frosted with an offset spatula; the most complicated ones require a ziplock bag and tape -- no special tips or bags required! Most designs are completed with cupcakes from a mix and store bought frosting, but there are recipes included if you want to make your own. Cute, fun and definitely doable.

what a treasure trove this book is. The sheer variety of themes is enough to keep any cake maker happy for years. I have found many of the designs transferable to larger cakes when the need arises.

Lots of pictures for reference, easy to read and understand written instructions, and a good selection of recipes.

Not much that I would have changed. SOME of the more complex designs could have used a bit more in the way of step by step pictures, but then, I am a visual learner, so there can never be enough pictures in a book for me.

Thanks to the writers, bakers, testers and stylists, great job, and I look forward to future books from you.

Seek peace

Lots of cute ideas and good technique ideas! The ingredients used are easy to find items in your grocery store so no special ingredients to buy. I prefer my stuff a little more homemade but for looks - it's just right.

I had this book on hold at the library for a few months, and I just picked it up yesterday. It was totally worth the wait! I haven't yet made any of the cupcakes, but I am really looking forward to trying them. I love this book so much that it's going on my amazon.com wishlist right now!

What a darling little book! It is a do-able appproach for those who want to give their kids (grandkids) something real from the kitchen but who aren't necessarliy the kitchen gourmet. Easy directions, product explanations, and pictures make it possible for anyone, cake challenged or not, to become a cupcake hero. Go for it!
