I have to say I am a recent fan who has become hooked on the show DC cupcakes. I bought their first book and loved it, and it seems like the sisters took a lot of the comments on the first book (the chief complaint being that there was no recipe list) and improved upon their second book. I read the book in one day from start to finish and the only downside, I wanted to start baking right away! The book is full of new recipes, with a few repeats on techniques thrown in for good measure. What appeals to me is that the ingrediants lists don't seem overwhelming, when there are more than 25 ingrediants in a recipe, I immediatley get turned off. Everything seems well written and has lots of pictures to show the decorating techniques. , I've already made plans to bake the banana chocolate chip monkey cupcakes and I really want to try to the cherry tartlets too. All in all, I say this is a definate must have if you love cupcakes.

Do you know who I respect? I respect a person who doesn't write a cookbook because they believe in not sharing their AUTHENTIC recipes. Yeah I don't like fake recipes and terrible recipes. It's either you do it right or not at all. And this book is beautiful to look at, but I refuse to make anything else from it. I love ordering their cupcakes and I shall continue. So Georgetown Cupcake since your cupcakes
Recipes in both books is a flop. You haven't loss a customer. Your intent exactly.

OK, so I will admit I enjoyed their first book, save for some problems with the recipes and the layout. This book, however, was a total flop. If you're expecting to replicate their recipes from the store, think again. I tried several of the cupcake recipes and they came out dense, chewy, and lackluster. Yes, some of the decorating ideas are cute, but that really can hold up the entire book. It's still a cookbook. So, sorry Sophie and Katherine. This is a big bomb.

Not what I expected
There was too much fluff and not enough basic recipes. I won't buy their second book because of this type of writing.

First book better
I love these two ladies and think their cupcake ideas are amazing. However, I did think their first book was 10 times better than this one. I use their first one all the time. Read more
