Barbara Beery's PINK PRINCESS CUPCAKES is directed to ages 6 and older and offers creative ideas for princess-themed desserts - but shouldn't be limited to a children's cookbook collection. It pairs bright color photos with some excellent tips on how to put together a theme cupcake presentation perfect for a child's party or gathering, and provides parents with some very fine decorating ideas.

I am in love with this book. I have been dappling into cupcaking and the cupcakes in here are beautiful and fairly easy to make. I have a daughter and plan to get a lot of use out of thise book. I was so impressed I found the author's blog and website. It is great for all stages of bakers. There are pictures of the finished product which is always helpful. I wish I could give this book more than four stars!

Bought this as a birthday gift for my Grand Daughter that thinks she is a Princess. It was so perfect! She slept with it the first week.
Thanks

Pink Princess Cupcakes starts with the basics about cupcakes: flavors, mix ins, liners and molds, baking tips and frosting and decorating ideas. Next are five recipes for homemade cakes (fresh strawberry, mmmm!), as well as seven frosting recipes. Following that are twenty eight ideas for fabulous cupcakes that would work well for any princess' needs! All of them are easy to prepare, with just a few ingredients, so the kids can get in on the fun! There are all kinds of cupcake possibilities from Cupcake Pops made from upside down mini cupcakes to Fairy Princess Hat cupcakes which use ice cream cones for the hat! My favorite is the Frosty Ice Cream Sandwich. To make it you split a cupcake in half and sandwich ice cream in between the two halves and add sprinkles. And then you have the perfect individual ice cream cake, very simply, without all the hassle of making a full size one. There are rainbow, cotton candy and lollipop cupcakes, each a delight! Pink Princess Cupcakes is a lovely book with lots of suggestions for making cupcakes that would enchant any princess!
