This review is from: Bake Me I'm Yours Cupcake: Over 100 Excuses to Indulge (Hardcover)

I was a bit dissappointed when I got this book. There are only two recipes in the book, one for vanilla cupcakes & another for chocolate. To my understanding I thought this book was about baking cupcakes. The book is basically a decorating guide for cupcakes. It is full of wonderful pictures. I will use the book for decorating ideas, I just thought I would have a book full of cupcake recipes. But I would recommend this book if you are looking for decorating ideas.

This review is from: Bake Me I'm Yours Cupcake: Over 100 Excuses to Indulge (Hardcover)

To be honest, I bought this book to take advantage of Amazon free shipping but little did I know that I would get a cute book with great pictures and ideas. Joan gives a great how to on working with fondant and royal icing while still using buttercream. If you are new fondant and different uses of royal icing like I am, then you will appreciate her easy instructions. Also, I liked how it contrasted to my wild and crazy book Hey There Cupcake. If you are looking for some cute, traditional designs for weddings, parties and birthdays, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for recipes, then you need to consider something else. This is really for decorating ideas only.

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!!
