Book Review: 500 Cupcakes, the only cupcake compendium you'll evr need
Summary: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed in this book. I was looking for a book with lots of cupcake recipes. The last 90 pages of this book are muffins. I don't know about you but in my book, muffins and cupcakes are entirely two different items. Then, for each recipe, they have three variations of the recipe and will call that four different cupcake recipes. Any idiot can do the variations. They are simple as if you want lemon cupcakes, substitute the vanilla extract for lemon juice. If you want walnut cupcakes, substitute the pecans for walnuts.
I haven't counted them but I bet there aren't a dozen different cupcake reciples in the entire book. The only thing that makes them different is the way they are iced or decorated. The cupcake is basically the same recipe and using self rising flour at that. There are not nearly as many pictures as I would like to see which makes some of the decorating instructions hard to visualize.
It is a pretty little book and the pictures that are there look wonderful but the title of the book should be how to ice and decorate 75 different cupcakes, not advertise as being 500 recipes.
Summary of 500 Cupcakes: The Only Cupcake Compendium You'll Ever Need
Once upon a time, cupcakes were only a kid-friendly party favorite. No longer! Cupcakes are now the treat of the times, at once simple and chic. 500 Cupcakes is just that: a storehouse of recipes, written in clear instructions and appealingly packaged in bright, modern colors. 500 Cupcakes from front to back provides what bakers of all levels need to produce tempting creations. The introduction provides a comprehensive look at equipment and ingredients, plus a description of the cupcake-making process, from getting started to storing and transporting the yummy results. The collection of recipes span from classic flavors and shapes to new favorites for every style and taste including recipes for alternate diets. Each recipe is written in clear language (great for the novice baker), and every one features three variations on the basic recipe (great for the experienced baker seeking new flavors). The page design is attractive, featuring over 200 enticing pictures of cupcakes in the pan and on the serving plate 500 Cupcakes really is the only cupcake compendium you ll ever need !Cakes Books
