This book joins the club of an already saturated market of cupcake cookbooks. With ho-hum flavors like pumpkin, marzipan, blueberry and peanut butter and jelly, it proved a tad underwhelming.
On a positive note, one entire chapter is devoted to healthier cupcakes, including recipes that are whole wheat, dairy and gluten-free to please almost every palate. The remaining chapters are broken down into Classics, Cupcakes for Kiddies, Cupcake Celebrations and Cupcakes for Connoisseurs.
Takeaway tips: A basic cupcake essentials introduction includes a breakdown of Equipment 101 as well as dissection of ingredients and serving and storage suggestions. Most readers will find reading the ingredient section quite helpful. For example, many people use large eggs in baking recipes because that's what they typically pick up at the grocery store. Author Lilach German recommends using medium sized eggs that are cracked at room temperature.
