Product Description
Product Description
Under the expert guidance of Patrick Cox and Eric Lanlard, cupcakes have received a sultry and seductive makeover, and Cox Cookies & Cake is far sexier than the average cake shop. The edgy atmosphere of its Soho home is ravishingly reflected in the cakes it produces - from Mrs Nickolchuk's Nanaimo squares to cupcakes bejewelled with skulls and gothic black frosting. Oozing sexy Soho, this book features 80 recipes from classic Bling cupcakes and chunky chocolate chip cookies to all-time favourite cheesecakes and brownies. Edgy design and graphic photography make this a voluptuous and completely delicious new take on cakes.
About the Author
Edmonton-born Patrick relocated to London in 1985 and quickly made a mark with his footwear designs. Within a decade, his was the label on fashionable feet all over the world. After 20 years in the shoe business, he was ready for a sabbatical, and with his new Soho bakery venture together with Eric Lanlard, Cox Cookies and Cake proves that the entrepreneurial knack for turning something he loves into an irresistible product is as acute as ever. Eric Lanlard is a master patissier. Since arriving in the UK 21 years ago, the 42 year old Frenchman has changed the face of British Patisserie, earning himself a reputation for inspirational cakes and an A-list clientele. Twice winner of Continental Patissier of the Year at the British Baking Awards, Eric's unique combination of craftsmanship and unbridled creativity has made him the premier cake-maker for celebrity celebrations. Eric has appeared on numerous television programmes including GMTV and Master Chef (judging the professional chefs) as well as a guest appearance in Mary Portas Queen of Shops. He fronts a TV series for Channel 4 called Glamour Puds and is the author of two books, Home Bake (Hamlyn) and Glamour Cakes (Mitchell Beazley).

When I told my friends that I had this book, they all said "Patrick Cox the shoe man making cupcakes?" - Yes! With the help of Eric Lanlard, patissier to the stars.
It's an interesting combination. And dazzling in more ways than one. The design and layout of the book is bright and bold with a large helping of neon. The cakes are very easy to make and there are no boundaries as to how you decorate them. This book allows you to put faces, bums and tums on the top of the cupcakes if you wish... but if you opt out of that, the cakes themselves are stand alone delicious. I made some chocolate cupcakes and ran out of time to make the frosting and toppings.. but they were still demolished within moments. The tiramisu cupcakes actually tasted like tiramisu.. the Lemon Meringue cupcakes and Zesty Lemon and White Chocolate cupcakes were equally well received by my willing guinea pig testers..
I've got a few more earmarked for making... Marshmallow Rice bars - to make with the kids in the summer holidays when it's raining, Double Chocolate and Marshmallow Cookies for my friends when they come over for a coffee, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes, specifically requested by my husband and the Apple Crumble cupcakes for the other times of day when I'm not eating the other cupcakes.
Hours of fun, pages and pages of ideas and not short of inspiration. Great book.

Purchased this book due to its fabulous photographs & intending to use it to support a scheme of work I was teaching at school (I am an art teacher!). To this end it really is a beautiful & inspired design. But having attempted to make the cola cakes (& I am an experienced & pretty successful cook & baker) I am reluctant to invest in further ingredients. Have any other readers/purchasers had a similar experience I wonder? I have emailed the publisher to enquire about how they test their recipes.
In short - looks amazing as a coffee table book but I suspect this is not serious cook book.

This book is idea if you want to create a cupcake with serious WOW factor.
The actual recipes are pretty simple, there is nothing complicated about the mixing or baking. I've baked two of the recipes for children's parties today and the results were stunning and once served they all disappeared very quickly (the ultimate test in cooking!)
I stuck with merely spreading the icing on my cupcakes, however I have every intention of trying some of the absolutely stunning decorated cupcakes that feature in this book. I am slightly concerned by the levels of food colouring in the icing in a couple of the recipes - but I think the more decorated cakes are something I will do only for very special occasions I'm not going to be giving my friends and family too much in the way of colouring overall - plus I know I can always change the colour scheme to reduce the food colouring.
The Angel food cupcakes with Raspberry frosting are highly recommended - not a method I had tried before, but following the clear instructions led to some stunning cakes.
The photography in this book is breathtaking - almost worth buying the book for the photos alone!

Not worth buying!
I'm an experienced baker and was extremely disappointed with the recipes in this book. I have tried several and the texture and taste of the cake was horrible.
