I got this as a Christmas present after getting the baking bug and so far I have done the vanilla cupcakes, lemon cupcakes and coffee cupcakes, this weekend I am doing the vanilla layer cake. The recipes are easy to follow (I cannot cook for love nor money) and I love the scrummy photos. The end results are heavenly (even my husband thinks they are nice and hes a savoury person). For anyone who wants to make their own cakes and not buy them I would say buy this book the end results are fantastic.

I bought this boook after developing a bit of an obsession with baking cupcakes. I wanted to try some different recipes to the standard cupcake recipes I usually used and this one caught my eye. It is fabulous! The images look fantastic and after trying out 2 recipes (chocolate and banana cupcakes and the "basic" chocolate cupcakes)I am really pleased with my purchase. Have also made the chocolate buttercream icing from the book too, which again was scrummy. There are plenty of "different" recipes that I am desperate to try out on my family and friends.
The recipes are all easy to follow, though some of them are a bit more complicated than what I've used before for cupcakes but the results are well worth the extra effort. A note about the recipes though, I followed them to the letter and got slightly different results than what the book leads you to expect (the chocolate cupcake recipe explains that the mix may resemble batter and might be easier to pour into cases from a jug rather than spoon, I found it to be very stiff actually and more like a chocolate mousse!)The result was THE BEST EVER chocolate cupcake though so I'm not worrying! Also estimations on the ammount the recipe makes varies quite a bit but generally you get more than you were expecting so who can complain! The chocolate cupcake recipe states 16 standard cakes but I got 16 very generously filled large muffin cases. The same with the banana and chocolate muffins, states 12 standard, I got 16 large muffin size.
All in all an EXCELLENT book and well worth the money. Order it now, you will not be disappointed!

I haven't had a chance to try a huge majority of the recipes in this book, but I figure that now that I've tried at least one icing and one cake recipe, I can say that I am truly happy with this book. I have a bit of a cupcake obsession, and couldn't resist buying this book even though I had just picked up the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. I had actually not been that happy with the cake recipes that came out of the Hummingbird book, so I thought I'd love to try this one and I have to say I am definitely happier with the ingredients and directions in this book. I've tried both cakes straight from the bakeries and it's hard to say which is the winner, but I think being able to replicate them in your own home the Primrose Bakery recipes come out on top.
