About the Author
Gail Wagman was born and grew up in Washington, D.C. but has lived in France for most of her adult life. She currently lives in the south of France where she opened a restaurant with her husband in a medieval village some 20 years ago. Le Micocoulier became one of the most popular restaurants in the Languedoc-Roussillon, famous for its fusion cooking and its wide variety of homemade desserts, Gail's specialty. She has co-authored a book for Spruce, Far Out, and continues to indulge her passion for baking and chocolate while working as a scientific translator and teacher. She is looking forward to introducing the cupcake as a new edible art form in France!

By K. Shaw
Format:Paperback
Being an avid baker, I was given this cookbook as a gift from a coworker, and I couldn't be more disappointed in the actual taste of these recipes. I've now tried four or five of them, and each batch has been inedible. I think I have LITERALLY thrown away every single batch (which is probably the only reason I am even writing this review). The first ones I tried, just a vanilla cupcake, I thought I had maybe done something wrong, so I made them AGAIN and the results were just as unfavorable. The cupcakes are dry and flavorless. Even though a lot of the recipes look really good, I'm afraid to waste any more of my time and money trying out recipes that I could end up tossing in the garbage.

Format:Paperback
This new cupcake book by Gail Wagman shows that one is only bound by the limits of their imagination when it comes to creating recipes for a specific area of baking, in this case - cupcakes. Wagman's use of themes, design, color and artistic concepts are unlike anything I've seen. I love cookbooks and am aware that cupcakes are all the rage currently and the market is flooded with books on this subject. I look at all of them and haven't seen anything that can compare with her exquisite presentation, unique ideas, clear descriptions and easy to follow recipes. And the photographs do it all justice. This book should become the gold standard in this area and should be owned by all cooks and pastry chefs whether professionals or beginners.

that the humble cupcake could be elevated to an art form. This is one of the most visually stunning (prepare to salivate copiously) collections of recipes I have ever seen. The recipes range from Grandma's favorites to wildly unusual inventions. Clearly Ms. Wagman is an artist, chemist and gourmet with an impressive dose of creative genius thrown in. I particularly appreciate the "cupcake tips" that are generously peppered throughout the book. There's nothing like learning how to do something from a pro. The recipes are presented concisely and clearly with magnificent color photographs of the finished products. There is something here for every occasion and every audience including a chapter of kid's cupcakes. Cupcake books are everywhere nowadays. This one is by far the best one I've seen. Your parties will never be the same.

No flavor and dry
I was so excited when I bought this book, but after making two recipes I clearly wasted my money. The recipes sound yummy but the cupcakes come out dry and have no taste to them. Read more

I bought this book about a year ago and have tried a number of recipes from the book and in my experience, you'd be much better off buying a different book. Read more

Love It
I live alone, so cupcakes are usually a more viable way for me to make dessert than a full sized cake. Every recipe I've made from this book is just wonderful. Read more
