    This cookbook is more than recipes, it provides a lot of direction on the essentials for baking great cakes. I have baked a lot of cakes and cupcakes but never knew why some cakes turned out better than others. This book explains what are the best ingredients and how to prepare them to get great results. The cupcake and frosting recipes are delicious and easily explained to get great results even by an amateur cook. The author has shared her secrets to make us all good cooks.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I signed up for one of Jennifer's classes through the CAE in Melbourne and was a little disappointed that all we got to do was decorate the cupcakes that she had already made and that we had no recipe with which we could mak our own. So, after several references to her book during the class, I decided to buy it. It has lots of recipes and very clear instructions as well as great photos to inspire your own variations on her decorations.

    I have made the basic cupcakes recipe with great success and the vanilla buttercream frosting. I have had slightly less success with the frosting, the first time it was great but since then I haven't managed to get the consistency quite right and it has tended to get a bit soft and lose some of the shape of the decoration but I think that's my problem rather than the recipes.

    All in all a great book and I can recommend it.

    This book is Australian, so all the measurements are metric and alot of the ingredients were unfamiliar. Other than that, it should be fine when I have the time to convert the measurements and ingredients.

    I bought this book based solely on the cover, I loved the picture! I have tried a few recepies on it and they all turned out perfectly. the 4 star is given just because the measurement sistem is funny, half is metric half is volumetric... and yes, as another reviwer said it comes out more batter than stated for the n. of cupcakes... :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great easy to follow cupcake book
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2008
    I own a lot of cake and dessert cookbooks and this one is one of my favorites. The recipes are all easy to follow and each one has a picture to accompany it, a must for me as I like to look at the pictures to help me decide what to bake. The cupcakes decorations are basic and the book has a fantastic easy to follow picture guide on how to create the signature crabapple swirl. It has a great section on frostings as well as a technique guide for applying each different frosting.
    The suppliers list is for Australian stores as it is an australian cookbook, but all the supplies are easily found elsewhere.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photography, very average recipes...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2010
    While the photography in the book is really lovely, I've found books with much better recipes. I made the basic cupcake recipe three times and every time they came out tough and chewy. The recipes in The Whimsical Bakehouse Little Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse: Cupcakes, Small Cakes, Muffins, and Other Mini Treatsbooks have far superior cupcake recipes - not overworked and very delicate.

    The measurements in this book are all in metric, but it's a simple process to convert, as us Aussies have to do with U.S. books.

    If you're looking for inspiration with design, this book will certainly do that, but if you're looking for a great recipe - go elsewhere.
