This is one fun book! My two daughters have hit all of the TV baking competitions HARD lately, and they are totally convinced that they would win a baking competition themselves. If I'm being honest, their skills are a *little* questionable, but with the help of this book, they are able to learn just about everything they would need to know in order to give those other competitors a run for their money! This book is the creme de la creme of informative and relatable baking books and really speaks to bakers of all ages. Gorgeous photos, easy to follow recipes, and inspiring recipes!

This is a great cupcake cookbook! I loved the step by step why the book is laid out. The introduction with ingredients and different techniques, followed by different recipes, and then lastly the cupcake ideas. These ideas are so much fun! I thought the instructions were easy to follow and I appreciated the inclusion of pictures for some of the shaping ideas. After reading through this book, I felt inspired to get creative with cupcakes for my next event!
