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.

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!

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!

I wanted to try cupcakes after watching a cooking show. This is the perfect book for me. The recipes all start from a box which doesn't bother me at all because you add other ingredients into the mix. The book contains "Fabulous and Fruity" cupcakes like key lime pie and pineapple upside down cake.Then there's another section for chocolate with recipes for chocolate raspberry truffle and chocolate peanut butter.The third part of the book is "Holiday Treats" and the fourth part is "Theme Decorating". This is the one section where I wish there there were more pictures. The final part goes over all types of frostings. The frostings are from scratch.

The directions are easy to follow and most of the recipes are short and sweet. The pictures are helpful, full page, and in color. This book was well worth the money and will bring my family much sweet toothed pleasure throughout the coming year.

My family and I are all big fans of cupcakes. They're a great dessert if you need something to serve a lot of people. I've made many of the recipes in this book and people rave about them. They are cute and soooo yummy! And best of all, they're easy to make. My favorites so far have been the gingerbread and pink lemonade recipes. This book also makes a great birthday gift. I gave a copy of this book to all of my sisters and sister-in-laws last year and they've all loved the book as well. Because really, who doesn't like cupcakes?

do not buy this on the kindle. there are not any titles for the cupcake recipes, so you have no idea which recipe you are reading, and there are multiple words missing in the directions.

I have to admit that I bought this cookbook to give as a birthday present. I have made the Oreo Cupcakes twice and a friend made the cupcakes with the Reese's Peanut Buttercup. Both very good recipes that people truly enjoyed. They are easy and fun. The peanut butter frosting is delicious and easy to make.

I am getting ready to finally give the book away and I am going to have to buy one for myself.

These cupcakes are Fantastic!! I can't believe how easy these cupcakes where to make. I don't have the time to make cupcakes from scratch so I'm all about semi homemade. I made these for a birthday party and were a hit with kids and adults!! My husband who is not a cake fan actually loved them. I made the White Chocolate Strawberry and Chocolate Cookie Dough. Just wish there were more pictures.

I received this as a gift, and after looking through the pages, I want to try many of the recipes. They sound and look delicious, yet not difficult to make.

The pictures in the book are great, but I wish there were more pictures in the "Theme Decorating" section. I'd like to see the finished product for those more detailed cupcakes.

There are several different sections in the book, including, fruity cakes, chocolate recipes, holiday ideas, icing, and tips for success. I appreciate that the author gives a few extra tips...I could sure use them.

I was surprised at the variety of frosting ideas. There are so many to choose from.

So far, I have only tried a couple of these recipes, but they were yummy!

Yes, it's dressed up, but the box taste is still there. I like the idea, and will apply some of the flavors to from-scratch baking, but underneath the added flavorings and additions, it's still a boxed cake mix---and it tastes like it. I would have loved to have seen some scratch recipes included for those of use who don't want to use a box mix. "Gourmet" and "box" do not go together.
