The cupcake is America’s darling. It’s celebrated in upscale bakeries, on Sex in the City, on the cover of Gourmet, and in thou-sands of classrooms—where every day, it seems, a parent has sent in a batch for the kids to share. The very word conjures up whimsy, coziness, pleasure, nostalgia. Not to mention the fact that their diminutive size means you can eat a lot of them.

Once upon a time, a family had only two recipes for cupcakes—chocolate and vanilla. Not anymore. Now Anne Byrn brings them to the next level. And who better? Recognized as the master of cake-mix baking, Anne is the author of
The Cake Mix Doctor and Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor, which have a total of over 1.8 million copies in print. In Cupcakes she offers 135 tempting recipes for children and grown-ups, for special days and everyday, lunch bags, holiday festivities, and an unexpected dinner party dessert.

You’ll never believe these artful little cakes started with a mix. Coconut Snowballs, Jelly Doughnut Cupcakes, Kiss Me Cakes, Warm Chocolate Cupcakes with Molten Centers, Red Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting. There are surprising additions (tuck a chocolate kiss orpiece of cookie dough into the batter). Creative toppings and easy from-scratch frostings (whipped cream spiked with Kahlua; miniature M&Ms; a creamy malted frosting with crushed malted milk balls).Terrific decorating ideas, from glittering golden dragees or elegant chocolate curls to yellow peeps for an Easter cupcake or—for Groundhog’s Day—a groundhog’s face made out of chocolate frosting and jimmies. Includes a 16-page full-color opening essay.

Best cupcakes ever!
5 out of 5 stars
Best cupcakes ever!
If you love baking but don't have all the time in the world, this is the book for you! The recipes are doctored boxed cake mixes, usually with easy to make home-made frosting. The additions to the mix and the frosting are just enough that no one would ever guess it came from a box. It takes less than 10 min to get these into the oven and about another 10 to get the frosting done and onto them. Every time I make recipes out of this book they disappear like hotcakes (or cupcakes ;-). Whether you want breakfast muffins, cupcakes for work, fancier ones for a birthday, this book has it all! I also suggest checking out some of her other Cake Mix Doctor books.I love her books, but my co-works probably love them even more because now they get baked goods about once a week since these are so quick and easy and most of all DELICIOUS!

    Definitely one of the most helpful books I own on the subject of baking.. This isn't just a book with a bunch of recipes. She takes the time to lay out the "science" behind different ingredients and how they work together (or against each other). She even goes into detail about different styles of pans and how they affect the process. I will definitely be purchasing more of her books!!

    I just left my review for the Cake Mix Book and have to almost copy what I wrote there for the Cupcakes! but I wont. I've made a few of the recipes in this book (as well as the Cake book) and enjoyed the different ideas and tastes. It's always fun to make cupcakes as they're so easy to eat and prepare and this book will give you new ideas, a new way to look at different 'adds' to the mix and thoughts of what you'll make tomorrow!! Enjoy!!

    I bought this book because I needed to make cupcakes for my daughter's baby shower. The book is loaded with recipes that use regular cake mixes. I made three different recipes - strawberry, red velvet and cherry cheesecake - from this book and got rave reviews for each one. They were simple recipes with a few ingredients and they were moist and delicious, too. I had to give out these recipes to many of the the ladies afterword. If you are looking for really great cupcake recipes, then this book is for you!

    I hastily bought this book without realizing all the cupcake recipes start from the box. That's not a deal breaker to me but I was still disappointed. I like trying out recipes that are from scratch. That being said this book does give you great flavor combinations; helpful tips; instructions/ideas on decorating; and frosting recipes from scratch. I do believe you can dress up a boxed cake with real frosting and fun decorations. This is a good mid-range book for those of you who want to try something new that's not too fancy or gourmet. You can definitely oooh and ahhh a crowd without having to go to the far ends of the earth searching for ingredients you can't pronounce, lol. For the price...I'd recommend this book to just about any baker.
