GOOD POINTS
1) Great ideas
2) Good read, if you like reading cookbooks. Photos are good too.
BAD POINTS
1) Almost all the recipes call for sweets that you can't get in the UK. However, that just gives more impetus to think creatively, so can't dock a star for that.
2) The reason I have docked a star is the lack of recipes for frosting/icing. There are a few recipes at the back, but this is based entirely on US shop-bought frosting. If you are spending hours piping shuttlecock feathers out of white chocolate, or rolling out caramels and cutting into intricate shapes, it seems daft to not spend five minutes weighing out some butter and icing sugar etc...
On the whole though, it is a great little book.

As with the first book in this series (Hello Cupcake), this book is pretty and fun, but ultimately disappointing as a cookery book. There are no recipes that do not start with 'take a shop bought cake mix ....'. I can understand this if the book was aimed at 'quick cupackes' or similar, but since most of the designs will take an age to complete, it seems a shame to 'save' ten minutes using a pre-mix rather than fresh ingredients.
The ideas are fun and I enjoyed looking at them. The book is extremely US centric though, and I found it tedious to translate the ingredients into local equivalents. This is necessary for almost all ingredients except the flour!
In summary: Buy this book for fun ideas and inspiration only. Do not buy it if you want recipe ideas or prefer to follow instructions to the letter (that will only be possible in the US, with a significant $$ injection into ingredients).
P.S. If you are after a real cupcake recipe book I recommend 'Cupcakes: Over 80 Delicious Recipes for All Occasions and Tastes (Spiral-bound)' by Sue McMahon. Lots of fab recipes, in an easy to use book.

I can't recommend this book enough. Have not only got one myself but they have made awesome gifts for my baking friends. Definitely the wow factor - fun, and very good price.

Format:Paperback
This book is brilliant! Easy to follow instructions and pictures to follow.
I don't understand the bad reviews on here, they are right, a lot of the sweets used are American, but its an American book so what do you expect??
There are loads of alternatives that can be brought in the UK , just use your imagination.
There are some lovely ideas in the book, and I have been able to make most of the cupcakes.
Really great buy!

This book has some great ideas and good photography, but isn't groundbreaking. There's a lot of repetition but it doesn't always expand on an idea, just re-uses it. The biscuits that hang on the edge of a teacup are brilliant.

Format:Paperback
This book has 227 pages of amazing little ideas that are great for my cupcake-loving friend. It arrived in super-quick time, as promised and in great condition. It's a great birthday present or just something to have around the house. I highly recommend it.

Whats New Cupcake
A lovely book full of great ideas and instructions. However, as it is written by an American author most of the ingredients used cannot be sourced in this country so the same... Read more

Amazing book
This book is fantastic! If only to look at the pictures and get some inspiration, rather than challanging the actual cakes, it is still a brilliant buy! Read more
