A huge thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advance copy.

A great book of recipes with new filling and flavour choices. I also liked that different types of buttercream was included in the book.

This is such a great collection of cupcake recipes! I especially appreciate the information on coverting recipes to gluten free. I had to order a copy for our library the second I finished it. Can't wait for our patrons to get their hands on it!

This was a wonderful, well-thought out, and interesting book all about cupcakes - yum! I really liked the design of the book - the font, the photos, all of that made for a beautiful cookbook. I am very excited to look for this book on bookshelves when it releases so I can add it to my ever-growing collection of cookbooks. I would recommend this be added to anyone who likes baking - cupcakes or otherwise! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This book has some great detailed step by step information about mixing, ingredients and supplies to have on hand for making the cupcakes. What I didn't care for is that all the cupcakes are based of off 4 recipes. Then from these recipes you just add one of two more things to make it a different flavor. That seems to me like they are catering to bakers in a rush rather than bakers that want to make the best cupcake possible. There were a few flavors that fell flat for me because of this technique but all in all I am sure a great cupcake will be made.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

From the start to finish, I liked every recipe, every cupcake perfectly suited for every occasion.

The author explains very nicely what we need, all the techniques and all the utensils, before she starts with the recipes, which is very helpful.

All recipes are presented with simple and thorough instructions, explained in detail.
I liked every recipe and I can't wait to try them all.

I give this book 5 stars.

Book Review: Let Them Eat Cupcakes by Gabrielle Cote

Rating: ★★★★☆

When I picked up Let Them Eat Cupcakes: 100 Cupcake Recipes to Rule Them All by Gabrielle Cote, I wasn’t just looking for another baking book; I was on a quest for the ultimate cupcake recipes, and boy, did this book deliver! The title cleverly nods to the infamous phrase, “Let them eat cake,” and in this case, it’s all about the cupcakes—those whimsical, delightful morsels that have taken the dessert world by storm.

⚠️This review was written based on personal opinions and experiences with the book. Individual preferences may vary⚠️

This cookbook is filled with elegant, classy cupcake designs that all sound incredibly delicious. All the recipes come from the author’s bakery in Southern Maine, and it shows! She has a cupcake for every occasion, from birthdays to bridal showers and everything in-between!

The recipes were easy to follow. I liked the bases of most were in the front. It helped me feel confident even when a recipe seemed more complicated to see it was building off of something I was sure I could do. The photos are gorgeous. I had never considered pipping my batter into tins but that is totally going to be my new go to.

Cupcakes are my favorite thing to bake so I was excited to review this cookbook. Unfortunately it fell a bit flat for me. I can understand the allure of using a couple of base recipes. However, adding just an extra ingredient or two will not give the pop of flavor each individual recipe needs. The cotton candy cupcake with a strawberry base especially bothered me. There are better cupcake cookbooks available.

With this cupcake cookbook everyday can be a special day with cupcakes. Cupcakes are better than cake because they come all contained. No cutting of a cake or worrying about the layers sliding off. These cupcakes are some of the prettiest I have seen. You can bake cupcakes and add a filling, ice them with delicious frostings, and decorate them beautifully. Pick a flavor for your cupcake from the many different flavors and types. Vegan and gluten free included. Then pick a frosting recipe to go with them. All types of buttercreams to chose from. Then there are special cupcakes for all those occasions such as weddings, birthdays, or for a beautiful spring day. There's even cupcakes for the puppy! I think I want to try the blackberry crumble cupcake. It looks so delicious and not long difficult directions. So if you like making cupcakes, pick up this cookbook and start baking today.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Cider Mill Press for the opportunity to read the advanced reader copy.

I requested this book because it's name and cover were so appealing, I was happy to discover that to be the same about the entire book! The photographs were lovely and the recipes were very easy to follow.

I really enjoyed how the author had categorized the many recipes found in this book. It was sectioned by holidays, event, season, etc. I haven't seen a book separate recipes like this before and I found it to be very helpful. All of the desserts looked amazing and were very well presented. I would absolutely recommend this book.

What a wonderful selection of recipes! There are many strengths in this cookbook including the basic recipes that could be modified, clear instructions and beautiful pictures. The creativity and variety include something for everyone.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for the advance copy. All opinions are my own.
