Book Reviews of Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook
Book Review: Europeans make the better cupcakes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love cupcakes, cookbooks and bakeries. I have even been to the real Hummingbird Bakery, had my cake and ate it too. The bakery itself was disappointing and in my opinion, a VERY much overrated bakery. I had the vanilla cupcake and it was dry and boring, and the people who worked there were arrogant. But I'm guessing they had a bad day and still went ahead and bought the cookbook.
It's a beautiful cookbook with mouthwatering pictures. Mmm.. raspberry brownie cheesecake anyone?
What I really like is that it is a photo of every single cake (The cookbook of Magnolia Bakery was very disappointing due to lack of photos..and the lack of cupcake recipes!) The recipes in this book all have good instructions and are easy to follow. I follow them precisely and they turn out perfect, every time! I have tried most of the cupcake recipes and a few of the cakes, huge success! I see a lot of criticism is based on the order of the ingredients, but I think that's the whole clue to getting moist cakes.
I've made a lot of cupcakes the recent years using different cookbooks and these are the best! I don't understand how so many of you (Americans) can fail using these recipes claiming you are great and experienced cooks. Is it your ingredients? Maybe we have better raw ingredients in Europe? Or maybe the oven? I don't know and I don't understand, because when I follow these recipes the cakes turn out perfect, light, moist and delicious! I always have to make double batches because they're addictive. Several times I've caught my friends lurking into the kitchen searching for more!
I have to admit I was even hestitating reviewing this product because I wanted to keep it my little secret, but now I feel like I have to to defend this lovely book.
I remember the American cupcakes (and cakes) as dry, odd-tasting and artificial. Don't get me wrong, I love American food and the US, I've even lived there, but I'm starting to doubt the whole American cupcake culture, I think Europeans might do it better! Sorry guys!
Summary of Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook
Tarek Malouf opened the first Hummingbird Bakery in London's fashionable Notting Hill district in 2004. This cookbook allows you to step inside this unique bakery and bring its trademark butter cream swirls, sprinkles, and layer-cake slices into your own kitchen. The Hummingbird's Cupcakes fly off the shelves faster than any other cake. Who can resist an adorable Vanilla Cupcake topped with candy-colored butter cream frosting and scattered with sprinkles? Take Cakes to the next level with some mouthwatering recipes. Red Velvet and Carrot are both favorites at the Bakery, and the Hummingbird Cake is a sweet, sticky triumph of banana and pineapple. Open Pies, pies with tops on, delicate pies and no-holds-barred pies: There's no shortage of options. Try Lemon Meringue with its mountain of golden fluffy meringue atop a rich, tangy lemon cream. You'll find favorite Pecan Pie here too. When you need a sweet fix, Brownies & Bars hit the spot. Rocky Road and Muesli Bars are always popular and make welcome additions to a packed lunch. There can't be much that beats a homemade Blueberry Muffin with your first cup of coffee in the morning. Finally, there's something childishly satisfying about a big, chewy Cookie studded with chocolate chunks--there's something here for every king of cookie fiend. *Classic bakes are back in vogue and this book provides 50 simple recipes for everyone's favorites--from Vanilla Cupcakes to Key Lime Pie. *"If you haven't tasted a Hummingbird Bakery look-too-good-to-eat cupcake, you've definitely missed out."
