I'm having a fairy tea party for my daughter's birthday, and this is just what I needed for menu ideas. There are no beverages, which is the only thing that dissapjointed me. I still love this bok and heartily reccomend it though. The recipes are:

Spangly Heart Cookies
Pretty Fairy Fudge
Fairy Muffins
Swirly Pink Cookies
Mini Fairy Pastries
Pretty Fairy Star Cookies
Flowery Cut-Out Cookies
Tiny Fairy Cakes
Iced Raspberry Mousse
Cut Out Sandwiches
Chocolate Cobweb Cookies
Butterfly Cupcakes
Little Cheese Scones
Mini Meringues
Confetti Cookies
Marzipan Toadstools

I liked that not everything was a sweet, so this is perfect to use for a fairy tea party. I made the the Marzipan Toadstools, Little Cheese Scones, Cut Out Sandwiches, Iced Raspberry Mousse, and the Mini Fairy Pastries. Adding this to the menu for Martha Stewart's pixie party and the food was magical. I served R. W. Knudsen's Lemonade and Hibiscus Juice Cooler (apple juice and hibiscus tea) for the beverages.

Has lots of good recipes. nice hard cover cause we all know the little ones will be spilling. And is small enough to fit in the drawer.

The pictures in this book are inspiring. They are so pink and cute and pretty and fairy like. The recipes use common ingredients, have simple instructions, and most of them turn out very yummy. They are easy enough that, with some help, my daughter was able to make some of the recipes in this book.

The pictures were of the finished product. I would have liked to have seen some pictures of the process of making the recipe. I think that would have helped my daughter while she was cooking.

This is NOT a beginners cookbook with directions about how to measure etc. Rather this is a cookbook that is easy with yummy recipes that is good if a young child has some experience already in the kitchen.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

If you have a little fairy in your home this book is a must have! The pictures are great and the recepies are fun and easy.

My daughter and I enjoyed looking at this book. It inspired a Fairy Tea Party for her and her friends which was so much fun to prepare and have. I tried a couple of the very easy recipes and also used a couple from the Pink Princess Cookbook. All turned out well and looked fantastic. Expect to be using it for Fairy parties for years to come!

I thought this book was an actual book, but it's more booklet or workbook size, not more than 30 pages it seems? Cute recipies but nothing spectacular. My neice will enjoy it however so I am pleased.

If you have a child who is very into fairy things, into pink and loves pretty, this is the perfect cookbook for them, or for adults who still like to wear fancy hats and have tea parties with friends.
First: Format, because I didn't read carefully because I was distracted by the cover when I ordered it. It's about the size of a large coloring book, roughly 12 inches tall by 9 inches wide. It's printed in full color on decent quality paper and has a stapled binding. The paper and printing quality is a bit more than I expected for the price.
There are no basic cooking instructions in it, so it is a book to use hands on with your children who are just learning, but there are lots of children's cookbooks that explain all the tools.
The recipes themselves are simple and gorgeous. The sort of thing that any little fairy princess would be thrilled to serve at a tea party. My daughter is 14 and has basic cooking skills down pat, but this is a great one even for her for the ideas in it. The miniature cooking and whimsical look of the recipes also makes them perfect for bentos.
My favorites:
Iced Raspberry Mousse- a sweet airy confection made with yogurt, cream, raspberries and for a nice touch of texture, meringues
Cut Out Sandwiches- A simple idea that makes a great presentation and one I will use in bentos and for tea parties myself.
Mini fairy pastries- Miniature really food is just wonderful and these are flavorful enough that even my son and husband would eat them without complaining too much about the cute factor.
Another great book for children from Usborne.

The Swirly Pink Cookies were yummy! You will be surprised that a lot of sugar is not needed to make them taste good. They where not too sweet, but just right for me. They were made with green food coloring (no pink food coloring available).

my neice (& nephew) can't wait to make the things in this book!super fast delivery.thanks!

i ordered this book for ideas for my daughters princess party . the pink princess cookbook helped and inspired me much better than this one.
