5.0 out of 5 stars "It's what is on the inside that counts", September 30, 2009

Simple and delicious, gormet yet not gaudy. Each recipe has something unique and fun and it is worth your baking efforts just to see people's eyes light up when they discover "what's on the inside." Be it custard, cream, or candy bar chunks there is a delicious treat about each of the 101 recipes. We have loved every one that we have tried and can't wait to try them all.

The author also provides several tips and tricks that help make it easier for your cupcake to turn out as perfect as the pictures in the book. The presentation is important too, and there are plenty of options in the book to make fabulous looking and delightfully tasting cupcakes.

Baking from this book makes you feel like a pro, but it doesn't take a lot of effort or time to create cupcakes that will make a lasting impression and will have your guests asking for the recipe so that they can make more.

We've really enjoyed this book so far and think that you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and simple - what more could you ask for?, December 16, 2009

I've tried several of the recipes and these cupcakes are amazing. They are also super easy to make. I never would have thought of changing the ingredients on a store bought cake mix, but making small changes turns regular cupcakes into masterpieces. I went to Sprinkles in L.A. and while those cupcakes were good, they weren't any better than these and these are much, much less expensive. I'm excited to try a new recipe for my son's birthday party next week! She also includes some really easy, yummy frosting ideas (like caramel cream) and super cute decorating ideas (like Spring Garden). You won't regret buying this book - you'll use it over and over again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple treats with easy-to-find ingredients, August 12, 2010

I received this book for my 18th birthday since I adore baking. I love being able to doctor store-bought ingredients so that they taste homemade, and this book is perfect! Most often, I have all of the ingredients that I will need for the recipes, and if they're not already in the pantry, they're super simple to find at the grocery store. Nobody is ever able to tell that I made the cupcakes from a box, and they always turn out super yummy! The only letdown of this book is that there aren't pictures of every recipe, but when they're this easy, they always turn out perfect!
